Our light diffusion greenhouse films are crafted to optimize plant growth by evenly spreading light throughout the entire plant canopy. Especially beneficial for spring and summer crops or in regions with intense sunlight, diffused light minimizes shadows, allowing even the lower parts of plants to receive adequate light exposure. This helps prevent leaf burns, reduces heat stress, and provides a gentle cooling effect.

HITEC offers a range of greenhouse films with varying levels of light diffusion, tailored to specific climates, crops, and growing seasons:

• Crystal Clear Films: Allow maximum direct light, ideal for crops requiring full exposure.
• Medium Diffusion Films (35-50%): Balance direct and diffused light, suitable for most greenhouse crops.
• High Diffusion Films (60-75%): Ensure extensive light scattering, perfect for protecting sensitive plants in intense sunlight areas.

With expertise in light diffusion technology, HITEC provides customized film solutions to enhance growth and yield based on your crop and climate needs.

Benefits:

• Enhanced photosynthesis and balanced light distribution for healthier plants
• Reduced shadowing and improved lower canopy growth
• Prevention of leaf burns and minimized heat stress on sensitive crops
• Tailored light diffusion options to suit specific growing environments and seasons

HITEC thermal films are designed with specialized IR additives that effectively absorb and reflect infrared radiation within the 7-15 micron range (the spectrum of radiation emitted by greenhouse elements). This feature minimizes energy loss from plant foliage to the atmosphere, helping to maintain higher temperatures, particularly during cold nights.

By keeping foliage warmer than the surrounding air, thermal cover films help keep plants drier, which can reduce the incidence of diseases. Studies have shown that using thermal cover films with this IR additive can significantly boost crop yield compared to standard films.

Additionally, these thermal films contribute to reducing heating costs, supporting sustainable and energy-efficient greenhouse management.

Benefits:

• Avoid drastic temperature changes between day and night, especially in areas with nighttime temperature below 12°C
• Reduces cooling and energy loss from plant foliage
• Helps save on greenhouse heating costs
• Keeps plants drier, lowering the risk of foliage diseases
• Increases crop yield over non-thermal films

Condensation droplets that form on the inner surface of greenhouse films can significantly impact plant growth and quality, reducing light transmission by 15-30% and increasing the risk of certain plant diseases.

HITEC offers advanced anti-drip greenhouse films, specially designed with additives to prevent droplet formation. Instead of droplets, these films create a continuous, thin layer of water that runs smoothly down the sides, enhancing light transmission and promoting healthier plant environments.

POP Films: 5+1 Layer Technology

While in traditional films the anti-drip feature lasts for approximately 2 years, HITEC has developed an anti-drip system that doesn't migrate the film and lasts for much longer. By combining state-of-the-art 5-layer technology with an additional nano-technology coating, HITEC achieves to prevent droplet and mist build-up.

This extra layer delivers a highly durable anti-dripping effect, providing multiple benefits for greenhouse cultivation:

• Increased light penetration for optimal plant growth
• Higher crop yields and improved quality
• Earlier harvesting times
• Fewer plant diseases
• Reduced need for pesticides, supporting more sustainable farming

HITEC has developed an innovative range of specialized disease control films, designed to effectively support Integrated Pest Management (IPM) by reducing the need for pesticides. One of the key solutions within this range is the UV-blocking film, engineered to absorb UV radiation up to 380 nm. This advanced feature delivers several significant protective benefits for greenhouse crops:

• Reduces populations of common greenhouse pests such as whiteflies, thrips, miners, and aphids, which in turn decreases the spread of plant viruses carried by these insects.
• Controls the spread of certain diseases, like botrytis, by suppressing the sporulation of harmful pathogenic fungi that thrive in UV-rich environments.
• Protects the color quality of sensitive crops, such as red roses, by preventing the "blackening" of petals, ultimately enhancing their aesthetic appeal and commercial value.

HITEC's UV-blocking films provide an effective, environmentally friendly approach to improving crop health, quality, and overall productivity in greenhouse environments.

In warm climates or during peak summer months, growers often need to control excessive heat in greenhouses while preserving maximum light transmission. Overheating can negatively affect plant growth, quality, and yield, largely due to Near Infra-Red (NIR) radiation, a specific part of the solar spectrum responsible for most heat buildup. Many commercial cooling films reduce heat by limiting transmission across the entire solar spectrum, which can reduce essential light needed for photosynthesis and ultimately hinder crop development.

HITEC SunCooler® films, developed with advanced nanotechnology and Near-IR additives, effectively absorb and disperse heat while maintaining high levels of visible light transmission. This innovative design reduces heat loads inside the greenhouse and on the soil, creating a cooler, more stable environment conducive to plant health. HITEC SunCooler® films are ideal for high-temperature regions, sunny climates, and summer crops, and are particularly beneficial for sensitive plants requiring precise climate control. Crops including various vegetables, fruits, and flowers thrive under SunCooler® conditions.

Custom versions of SunCooler® films are available to balance Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) and NIR transmission, allowing growers to tailor light and heat levels to the specific needs of their crops and region.

Benefits:

• Creates optimal growing conditions
• Enhances crop quality and yield
• Increases water-use efficiency
• Extends the growing season
• Supports sustainable growth practices
• Improves greenhouse working conditions

A significant threat to film longevity is the use of agrochemicals, particularly those containing sulfur and chlorine. These chemicals weaken UV stabilizers, leaving the film vulnerable to UV damage, especially in hot climates and poorly ventilated greenhouses. HITEC sulfur-resistant films such as SulfurSafe® films are designed with advanced stabilizers like HALS or Nickel Quenchers to withstand intensive sulfur usage. These durable films offer excellent light diffusion and UV stability, ensuring optimal crop growth without sulfur-related degradation. The right level of sulfur resistance is selected according to the growing techniques.
