GGPO® Diffused Film FL786I 180 MICRONS

FL786I is an ultra-durable 180μm (7.2 mil) 5-layer co-extruded light-diffusing cover engineered as a heavy-gauge solution in our GGPO® Greenhouse Film selection. Specially formulated for intense radiation zones and demanding commercial setups, FL786I transforms harsh direct sunlight into soft, uniform scattered light to eliminate top-canopy scorching and heat stress. Combining high-efficiency light diffusion with advanced anti-drip and anti-fog performance, this 3rd-generation PO cover provides enhanced tear strength and multi-year longevity trusted across high-sunlight and severe-weather regions.

Key Performance Benefits

• Heavy-Duty 180μm Commercial Gauge: Thicker 7.2 mil gauge offers superior tear strength, high puncture resistance, and extended service life under severe environmental stress.

• High-Efficiency Light Diffusion: Converts harsh direct solar radiation into soft, multidirectional PAR light that penetrates deep into dense foliage without burning upper leaves.

• Long-Lasting Anti-Drip & Anti-Fog Coating: Specialized internal coating prevents condensation droplets, safeguarding crops from fungal diseases and preserving optical clarity.

• UV-Open & Bee-Friendly Formula: Formulated to allow vital UV spectrum pass-through, encouraging natural bumblebee navigation, effective crop pollination, and rich fruit pigmentation.

• Thermal Retention & Chemical Resistance: Retains vital night heat to protect crops from temperature fluctuations while utilizing advanced UV stabilizers to resist pesticide and sulfur breakdown.

Diffused Greenhouse Film 180 Micron FAQ

What are the primary benefits of an 180-micron light-diffusing film over a 150-micron film?

The 180-micron gauge delivers superior tear resistance, better wind/storm tolerance, and a longer warranty period (up to 4.5 years), making it ideal for high-exposure multi-span structures.

How do I identify the anti-drip coated side during installation?

Inspect the printed directional marks and logos on the light diffusion poly film. The text must read correctly from inside the greenhouse, placing the anti-drip coated side facing your crops.

Is FL786I compatible with bumblebee pollination?

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