APF three layer Greenhouse film

5.1 Product Description

APF three layers Greenhouse film is one of the best quality greenhouse plastics available in Ethiopia, allow for greater control over the growing environment of plants. Each layer contributes to the quality of the film and enhances its performance. APF Multi-layer technology with selected additives provides the right combination of mechanical performance, versatility and light transmission.

APF greenhouse film has excellent haze, which diffuses the light that enters the greenhouse, distributing it evenly across the entire crop. The mechanical properties of APF greenhouse film are important to provide safe cover and protection for the crop.
