Anti-condensate additives prevent droplet build-up on your plastic. Without AC, droplets form more dramatically and have a number of undesirable effects. First, they reduce light transmission. Next, they provide an ideal environment for microorganisms to take hold after which the droplets grow heavy enough to rain down on your plants spreading disease. These additives are incredibly useful for keeping your greenhouse healthy and productive.
The anti-dust additive helps keep dust from finding purchase and settling on your plastic, blocking light transmission.
The UV protection is rated for four years maintaining your light transmission after which many factors come into place to determine how quickly your plastic will yellow from UV exposure.
UV coating is on both sides on all ArmorClear plastic which helps retain clarity for light transmission and maintain durability over time.
Woven plastics are durable compared to non-woven and extend the life of your plastic. Greenhouse plastic is made of LDPE which is a softer, more flexible material with good light transmission. Woven poly has a woven fabric of HDPE plastic at its core to significantly increase strength and durability. Woven plastics are puncture-resistant, tear-resistant, and can survive harsher conditions. 9 Mil ArmorClear Woven UV IR/AC Greenhouse Plastic is rated with a 4-year lifespan.
