Greenhouse Paper In Kenya; Properties

1. Thickness. 200 microns/ 0.2mm
2. Colour . Clear or yellow

– clear paper allows more light. This is good for fruiting crops such as tomato, strawberry, capsicums, and peppers. This is because more light has higher photosynthesis, which equates to more food for the plant. It is necessary for bi-color or    multi  -color flowers to enhance the different colors

 

– yellow paper will be for leafy vegetables, herbs, spices, and mono color flowers. These require less food as they are not fruiting

 

3. Width 5.5M, 8M, 16M. This not split but supplied as such to the grower

4. Roll length of 100M. The roll is cut as per client’s ordered length

5. UV treated. UV treatment blocks off excess UV light which in turn enhances the greenhouse paper lifespan. Our UV treatment is for 3 years/ 36 months. This warranty is on the paper

6. Anti-drip properties. Anti drip treatment prevents dew drop lets from forming on the greenhouse paper. Dew formation is as a result or crop respiration which releases moisture from the plant. Dew droplets falling or crops in the greenhouse pr-dispose the crop to fungal infections. The droplets also refract light, limiting the amount of light falling on the crop
