Covering overhead starts to rise when extras are added – anti-condensate, thermal capabilities, light diffusion or bee compatibility. Light transmission is 87% per layer. The Thermal AC Film is a new generation of horticultural films – combining all of these extras into one package. Superior drip control, energy savings, light diffusion and bee compatibility are all packaged together to provide growers with one film at one cost. However, please note that product should not come into contact with PVC piping as this will degrade the product and void the warranty. If using with pvc, please use our batten tape or white felt in between.
Please note – Many of the Plastic Film sizes offered will be folded for delivery and shipped on rolls of up to 8′ in length.

Why Use Anti-Condensate Films?
Formation of condensation inside a greenhouse is a major issue in a polyethylene greenhouses. Condensation droplets have been shown to reduce light transmission by as much as 50%. In addition to a of light quality, crop damage/spots, washout on seed beds and possible pathogen development may also occur. All of the anti-condensate films contain surface tension modifiers to help limit the formation of condensation droplets.
Longevity
There are many factors that will influence the longevity of the anti-condensate feature of all polyethylene films. Some factors that affect anti-condensate performance are:
- a very warm season
- a very humid/rainy season
- increased plant transpiration caused by high irrigation rates
- poor airflow
- ventilation practices
- insufficient film slopes
