Reflection films (35-70 mic.): highly reflective Black/White or White films that are laid on the soil of the greenhouse or glasshousewith the purpose of reflecting the sun and increasing light in the greenhouse or glasshouse during winter months. These films are widely used in hydroponic cultivations.
The parameter describes how much light hitting the film will be reflected. This factor is very important for mulching films' efficiency. Thanks to high reflection more light becomes available for cultivation. The film must be of course new, and clean. Due to light reflection and phytosanitary conditions we recommend to replace the film on a yearly basis.
ELASTICITY
The parameter defines percent stretch that will cause tear. Films of high elasticity are much more resistant to damage and puncture on uneven surface. Elastic film will 'enclose' clod of ground or pebble stepping out of the field, will become thinner in this spot but will not be punctured. Our mulching films have elasticity factor around 500%.
