Dura-Film® Thermax Plus

Dura-Film Thermax Plus is manufactured from high clarity 12% vinyl acetate resins. This 8-mil IR film offers exceptional toughness, excellent light transmission with built-in anti-condensate and bee compatibility.
Dura-Film Thermax Plus' advanced formulation provides energy absorption in the 7,000 nm to 14,000 nm range. This provides for excellent infrared retention while maintaining high light transmission in the visible and PAR energy ranges. In heated greenhouses, heating costs are reduced. In unheated cold frames, higher overnight temperatures are maintained when compared to non-IR films.
Condensation droplets have been shown to reduce light transmission by as much as 50%. Dura-Film Thermax Plus contains surface tension modifiers to prevent the formation of condensation droplets.
Dura-Film Thermax Plus not only maintains its high light transmission during periods of high condensation, it also reduces or eliminates the random raining of droplets. Dura-Film Thermax Plus is also a bee compatible film.
Dura-Film Thermax Plus provides greater physical strength and resists ice damage better than traditional 6-mil films. When used on inflated double poly structures, Dura-Film Thermax Plus offers longer life and greater security than 2 layers of 6-mil film. This special 8-mil formulation is also preferred for applications using a single layer of film and a convection tube bumper.
The high PAR light transmission of Dura-Film Thermax Plus provides an environment allowing the plants to take maximum advantage of available solar energy. Many growers in northern latitudes will welcome the increased light intensity. Growers in areas of high light should watch for signs of burning or stress on sensitive crops.
