Tent films

Have you experienced the harmful effects of climate change in your farming?

• Stronger storms and wind gusts,
• Temperatures above 40°C in summer,
• Unpredictable winter weather,
• Dramatic increase in energy prices,
• Increased UV radiation.

Did you know that in 2007, UV radiation levels in Hungary were nearly as high as those along the North African coast (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia)? The currently used tent films and their additives are struggling to keep up with the changing environment. The latest EVA PREMIUM TENT FILM offers a solution, providing enhanced durability against storms, UV and heat stability, and flexibility even in cold winter conditions.

Did you know that in 2007, UV radiation levels in Hungary were nearly as high as those on the North African coast (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia)? The current tent films and their additives are increasingly struggling to keep pace with the new challenges posed by environmental changes, ozone layer thinning, and climate-induced weather shifts. The latest EVA PREMIUM TENT FILM offers a solution for greenhouse growers, with its multilayer design, unique composition, and favorable results from practical tests in Southern European countries.

• The latest premium-quality materials ensure the tent film’s exceptional strength, enhancing its resistance to storms and wind gusts.
• The high antioxidant content guarantees heat and UV stability, even during the hottest summer days.
• While the EVA content provides softness and flexibility on cold winter days.

The measurement charts from independent laboratories clearly show that the EVA Premium films outperform traditional materials in terms of key strength factors. This is particularly important at the weakest points of the films, such as the edges. The impact strength measured at the edges indicates the film’s stability under extreme weather conditions, like storms, wind gusts, and snow loads.

• The light-diffusing film is designed to ensure uniform, shadow-free light distribution inside greenhouses while maintaining the same light intensity.
• The infrared absorber additive increases the temperature within the tent, creating a higher heat environment.
• Made from a high-EVA content, the three-layer film is more flexible and durable than regular films.
• It is available in natural, 2-year, and 3-year UV-stabilized versions.

Horticulture faces increasing damage from pests, and existing tent films and technologies are struggling to keep up with these challenges. The NEW Antiviral Tent Films offer a solution, reducing pest damage and preventing the transmission of viral diseases. These films also lower the use of chemicals, improving pest control efficiency and protecting crops from harmful effects, including certain viruses like TYLCV (Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus).

The advantages of antiviral tent film include:

• Significant reduction in damage caused by pests.
• Decreased occurrence of pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and thrips.
• Reduced transmission of viral diseases to plants.
• Lower costs for fungicides and chemicals.
• High chemical resistance—at least twice as strong as standard thermofol products.
• Reduced petal blackening in red roses.

TYLCV – Yellow Leaf Curl Virus
The primary host plant for the TYLCV is tomato, but tobacco can also become infected with the virus. It is transmitted by pests such as aphids, leading to significant damage to affected plants.
