GGPO® Clear Film FL790I 180 MICRONS

FL790I belongs to GGPO® Greenhouse film family, which is 3rd generation greenhouse films, they offers a super long anti-drip performance. The thickness of this film is 180μm, it provides straight light to plants, which is suitable for growing Tomatoes/Peppers/Cucumbers/Melons/Roses/Carnation. And high areas with low sunlight exposure at high latitudes are also suitable. This film is widely used in EU and Africa.

Product Detail

Product Overview

FL790I is an ultra-durable 180μm (7.2 mil) 5-layer co-extruded film from our flagship PO greenhouse film. Built as a 3rd-generation high-grade agricultural cover, FL790I combines exceptional direct light transmission with advanced anti-drip and anti-fog technology. Specially engineered for high-latitude regions and demanding commercial applications, it provides an ideal clear greenhouse plastic for low light conditions while providing long-lasting weather protection widely trusted across Europe and Africa.

Key Performance Benefits

  • High-Grade 180μm Heavy-Duty Construction: Increased gauge thickness provides superior puncture resistance, structural stability, and an extended multi-year service life.

  • Super Clear Direct PAR Transmission: Delivers up to 91% direct light transmission to maximize photosynthesis in light-sensitive commercial crops.

  • Long-Lasting Anti-Drip & Anti-Fog Coating: Specialized inner coating prevents water condensation drops, protecting delicate foliage from disease and maintaining optical clarity.

  • UV-Open & Bee-Friendly Formula: Permits essential UV spectrum pass-through to support natural bee pollination and improve crop color development.

  • Pesticide & Thermal Resistance: Advanced chemical resistance guards against sulfur and pesticide degradation while retaining warmth overnight.

Technical Specifications

  • Film Thickness: 180 μm (7.2 mil)

  • Light Transmission Rate: 91%

  • Tensile Strength: 26 MPa

  • Elongation at Break: 700%

  • Tear Resistance: 90 kN/m

  • Available Roll Widths: 1 to 16 meters

  • Fold Types: 2 Folds or 4 Folds

Recommended Crops and Applications

FL790I is tailored for high-value agricultural operations requiring max light penetration and structural durability:

  • Fruiting Crops: High-wire tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, and melons.

  • Floriculture: Commercial rose production, carnations, and specialty cut flowers.

  • Geographic Suitability: Highly popular in the European Union, Africa, and high-latitude areas requiring optimal sunlight utilization during winter months.

How This Model Compares

Compared to 150μm models like FL690H, the 180μm FL790I provides enhanced mechanical durability and a significantly longer warranty period. While direct-light clear greenhouse plastic for low light maximize total PAR intake, operations requiring soft light dispersion to prevent canopy shading should explore TTPE® Light Diffusion Greenhouse Films. For structural installations in high-wind regions, consider pairing this film with TOYOTANI® Woven Covers.

Quality Control and Test Documentation

Manufactured under strict ISO-certified manufacturing protocols, FL790I is rigorously tested before global shipment:

  • Spectrophotometer verification for guaranteed 91% PAR light pass-through.

  • Tensile strain (26 MPa) and 90 kN/m tear resistance testing per batch.

  • Every shipment includes a certified Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and factory inspection certificate.

Installation and Correct-Side Orientation

To maximize the service life and preserve the anti-drip coating, follow these installation rules:

  • Correct Orientation: The specialized coating layer must face inside the greenhouse. Identify the printed text/logo on the film to confirm orientation.

  • Coating Protection: Prevent the outer coating layer from rubbing against rough surfaces during unpacking, cutting, and installation.

  • Recommended Mounting Hardware: Use LOCKUP® Locking Profiles and VINIPET® Wiggle Wires to secure the film without causing friction damage.

  • Corrosion Avoidance: Never attach film directly to rusted metal supports. Clean or paint structural steel pipes prior to installation.

  • Structure Geometry: Ensure continuous roof slopes with no dead bends or sagging pockets where rainwater can pool.

  • Installation Timing & Force: Install during early morning or dusk. Apply higher tension during cold winter setups and moderate tension during summer months.

  • Initial Humidity Setup: Raising internal greenhouse humidity to 70% during initial installation helps activate peak anti-drip performance.

Warranty Conditions

FL790I is backed by extended factory warranties when installed according to guidelines:

  • 3.5-Year Warranty: Central Africa, Middle East, and high-UV extreme climate zones.

  • 4.5-Year Warranty: East Asia, Southeast Asia, North/South America, Australia, and Europe.

Packaging, MOQ and Lead Time

  • Packaging: Export-grade heavy-duty UV protective wrap on solid cores.

  • MOQ & Production Capacity: Factory MOQ applies; backed by an annual manufacturing capacity of 25,000 metric tons.

  • Lead Time: 14–21 business days for standard roll sizes; rapid TDS and sample dispatch available.

Clear Film FL790I 180 MICRONS FAQ

What is the benefit of choosing a 180-micron film over a 150-micron film?

The 180-micron thickness provides higher tear resistance, greater thermal mass, and an extended warranty life (up to 4.5 years), making it ideal for severe weather zones and long-term greenhouse projects.

How do I know which side faces inside the greenhouse?

Check the printed directional logos on the film surface. The coated anti-drip layer must always face inward toward the crops.

Is FL790I compatible with bumblebee pollination?

Yes, the UV-OPEN formulation permits the necessary UV light wavelengths required for natural bee navigation and pollination.
