Anti-dripping Covering Film FL686H 150 MICRON
Anti-Dripping Covering Film FL686H (150 Micron) is a specialized 5-layer co-extruded agricultural cover engineered to eliminate surface condensation dripping while maintaining high optical clarity. Formulated with long-lasting amphiphilic surfactant additives and premium UV stabilizers, FL686H modifies the inner surface tension of the film, causing condensed water to form a smooth, continuous micro-thin film that drains down the roof slope rather than forming droplets. Positioned as an advanced humidity-control solution in our Anti-dripping Covering Film lineup, FL686H prevents fungal crop diseases like Botrytis (gray mold) while optimizing photosynthetic radiation across our broader collection of commercial greenhouse plastic film.
Targeted Performance Benefits
-
Advanced Non-Drip & Anti-Fog Coating: Lowers liquid surface tension on the interior film face, transforming water droplets into a continuous runoff layer to eliminate dripping onto crop leaves and flower buds.
-
Fungal Disease & Botrytis Control: Eliminates free-falling condensation drops that carry bacterial spores and cause gray mold, leaf spotting, and fruit rot in sensitive crops.
-
10%–15% Light Transmission Recovery: Prevents light scattering and reflection caused by hanging internal water droplets, ensuring maximum PAR light reaches the crop canopy.
-
High PAR Solar Transmission: Delivers up to 90% direct photosynthetically active radiation transmission, promoting rapid vegetative growth and early blooming.
-
5-Layer Co-Extruded 150μm Mechanical Strength: Engineered with balanced linear low-density polyethylene resins to deliver flexible roll handling alongside reliable resistance to wind tearing and installation stress.
Specialized Commercial Applications
FL686H 150 Micron is tailored for commercial growers managing high-humidity crops and protected tunnel operations:
-
High-Value Berry & Berry Nursery Tunnels: Prevents drip-induced fruit scarring and gray mold in strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries.
-
Floriculture & Cut Flower Greenhouses: Protects delicate petals (e.g., roses, gerberas, lisianthus) from water spots and petal blight.
-
Vegetable Production Tunnels: Ideal for tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and leafy greens grown in high-humidity protected environments.
-
Low-Pitch & High-Tunnel Structures: Works effectively on lower roof slopes where traditional non-anti-drip covers allow heavy droplets to pool and fall vertically.
150 Micron Anti-Dripping Greenhouse Film FAQ
How does the anti-drip feature work in Model FL686H?
FL686H contains specialized additives co-extruded into the inner layer. These additives lower the surface tension of condensed water, transforming droplets into a flat, thin layer of water that flows smoothly down the roof slope.
Why is correct installation direction critical for FL686H?
The anti-drip additives are concentrated on the inner surface facing the crops. Installing the film upside down prevents condensation control and exposes the internal layer to direct outdoor weathering.
Does anti-drip film improve light inside the greenhouse?
Yes. Water droplets on standard film reflect and scatter up to 15% of incoming light away from the greenhouse. By flattening the water into a smooth sheet, FL686H recovers that lost light for photosynthetic growth.
