Thermal Anti Drip 600 Gauge

Here at Premier Polytunnels we sell a clear Thermal Anti Drip polythene cover as standard. This is a 600 gauge/150 micron polythene film with a 4-year warranty against UV degradation and is the preferred cover of UK growers - supplied as standard with our garden polytunnels.

Our Thermal Anti Drip film is the first sold in the UK that includes 5-layer co-extrusion technology. This 5-layer, 21st Century technology allows special chemical additives within the film to be divided more evenly throughout the layers, therefore reducing the effect of each additive upon the others and making for a more efficient polytunnel cover. These special additives help to greatly reduce many fungal and bacterial diseases that can damage plants.

The air inside a polytunnel has a high moisture content, causing water to evaporate and form droplets on the inside of the cover. Anti Drip additives within the film prevent large droplets forming and dropping back onto the plants, causing damage and disease to them.

The Thermal effect of the film prevents heat radiation being lost from the polytunnel, therefore maintaining a higher foliage temperature and drier plants, and leading to lower heating costs.

This film uses mineral additives to diffuse the light entering the polytunnel, ensuring that some light will make its way into the central and more shaded areas of the plants.

The film also includes Anti Dust additives on the outside layer, making it more difficult for dust to remain on the polythene and making it easier for the wind, rain, and your cleaning efforts to remove any accumulated dust from the polytunnel.
