All formulations are based on HiTeC\u2019s own know-how and experience. Additive concentrates are manufactured inhouse to ensure absolute consistency in quality.<br \/>\nFilm lifetime is guaranteed for a period of 1-5 seasons (depending on type of film and area of use). In most cases, greenhouse films contain more and more efficient UV-stabilisers than films of other producers, which is one of the reasons why PEP films usually last longer than they are prescribed for.<br \/>\nDue to the increasing use of sulphur and other chemicals in the greenhouses, that neutralize traditional UV-stabilizers and may lead to premature failure of the film, HiTeC has developed fully chemical resistant formulations that can be incorporated upon demand in any of its greenhouse film types for additional safety.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;TOUGHNESS&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20&#8243; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;18&#8243; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#0a5587&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<br \/>\nTOUGHNESS<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;HiTeC\u2019s experience&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<br \/>\nHiTeC\u2019s experience in processing conditions and quality control procedures as well as the careful selection of raw materials, ensure that its greenhouse films have excellent mechanical properties.

Particularly in the \u201ctropics\u201d, in areas with strong sunlight and hot weather as well as well as in nurseries, or in cases of shade-loving plants, \u201ccooling films\u201d are gradually becoming a necessity. HiTeC\u2019s product range offers special film types which reflect and \/or absorb Near Infra Red (NIR) radiation, the part of the solar spectrum carrying most of the heat entering a greenhouse. NIR radiation is not essential to plant growth and by preventing it from entering the greenhouse, \u201ccooling films\u201d achieve significant reduction of heat inside the greenhouse during the day time. Usage of such films has demonstrated that the higher the ambient temperatures of the area are, the larger is the heat reduction achieved.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;LIGHT TRANSMISSION&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20&#8243; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;18&#8243; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#0a5587&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<br \/>\nLIGHT TRANSMISSION<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;High light transmission&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<br \/>\nHigh light transmission is absolutely essential to plant growth.

Even though increased levels of diffusion can cause a film to appear \u201chazy\u201d, they do not affect the total quantity of light that is passing through the film. The total amount of PAR (Photosynthetic Active Radiation) received by the plants remains the same.<br \/>\nIt is now generally accepted that diffused light has a positive effect on plant growth, especially for spring and summer crops and in areas with many days of strong, direct sunlight during the year. Light diffusion offers a moderate cooling effect, it prevents burnings, it reduces shadows and ensures more uniform distribution of light, so that it reaches even the lower parts of plants.<br \/>\nHiTec has the know-how and therefore the ability to produce:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Crystal clear films with very low diffusion (Maximum direct light).<\/li>\n<li>Films with medium diffusion<\/li>\n<li>Films with very high diffusion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The choice of the most appropriate level of diffusion depends on the climate of the area, the crop and the season(s) of growing.
