Optimal brightness level direction , excellent mechanical properties , and very high S resistor are the standard the unexampled RKW Hyplast greenhouse film needs to meet . “ It was quite the challenge , but we come after . Our new film‘Grafeno ’ has become a eminent caliber and pollination - favorable film ” , say Tom de Smedt , export director at RKW Hyplast .
He receive multiple requests from the market about the development of a Modern film . To develop a quality screening film , there are a few factors you need to take into account . Tom explicate : “ Light transmission is significant in glasshouse cover films , as well as the Cartesian product ’s life-time . UV radiation causes synthetic stuff to degrade . You attempt to prevent this and expand the lifespan as much as possible . Chemicals such as sulphur and atomic number 17 also negatively touch the lifespan of the enhancer . ”
“ At RKW Hyplast , we are always work on on increase the product ' life . We try out to make our cover films resistant to ultraviolet illumination radiation and chemical . In Spain , they use a lot of sulphur . The asking to originate a S resistant movie mainly come from there . ”
“ just pollination from solar day one”The Grafeno cinema has been on the commercial-grade marketplace since last year and was have well straight aside . “ What makes the film limited is the fact that it is not a product that help with either this or that , but one that helps with both this and that . For the first prison term , we see a screen film with a good ultraviolet radiation transmission ( authoritative for bees and humblebee ) , and a good light transmission in the PAR , and a high sulphur resistance . The result of which is the possibility of effective worm pollination from day one ” , enjoin Tom .
With the founding of Grafeno , things have become a lot easier for agriculturalist . Tom : “ blanket cinema costs a band of money . Growers had to take what they find authoritative . Do they want a tidy sum of unaccented infection or a high sulfur electric resistance ? Now they do n’t have to make that choice anymore . ”
Accidental discovery“We also discovered a different unique dimension of the Grafeno film by chance event . When the blanket plastic film is install , it have more brightness through than other film . The pic becomes clear when it is dark outside and allows more light to get along through . client looked at the profits after installation , and it rick out they increased . We ferment closely together with Wageningen University and tested multiple factors to see how this is possible . The tests shew that the Grafeno film reflects 3 % less light in realistic circumstances .
International productThe mart for Grafeno is mainly located in Spain now . “ The product will in the main be trade in countries where a lot of sulphur is used and where insect pollenation is needed . We carry these markets to have the high demand for the mathematical product . However , the film is useable to everyone , and we can offer up customs made solution from RKW Hyplast ” , says Tom .
“ I overlook the personal contact”RKW Hyplast offers a flock of impost made solutions . “ to offer the right solutions , contact with customers is very authoritative , but due to the current corona crisis , this is unfortunately impossible . I miss the personal contact , but we try and find a good root to it . Through Skype and Zoom , we help our customers as well as possible , which is , fortunately , exploit out fine . However , I do secretly trust that I will be able to visit our client in person again soon ” , Tom concludes .
