Suitable tunnel foil in Gelderland

FruitSecurity Holland, based in Ede in Gelderland, specializes in harvest security through harvest protection. As a Dutch company we are of course familiar with the changing weather and the great challenge for growers in Gelderland to protect their crops. Fruit cultivation in particular is vulnerable to changing weather conditions: too little or too much rain, too much wind, too little or too much sun in the wrong places. FruitSecurity Holland has developed different types of tunnel film and greenhouse film to control or influence the climate around crops.

Tunnel foil and greenhouse foil properties

It is important that Gelderland growers use the right type of foil for their crops, with the right properties for the right conditions. Such as: thermicity, UV stability or just UV-open, anti-condensation, anti-dust, anti-fog, and light transmission.

Thermicity

Gelderland fruit growers choose foil with EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) to reduce heat loss in the greenhouse during the night.

Anti-Drip or anti-fog

For the prevention of crop diseases, and excess light reflection due to condensation, we have added an anti-condensation feature to our Polyethylene foil. Anti-drip ensures that the drips stick to the film and are discharged as water.

Anti-dust adhesion

This property of film reduces algae growth on the film and allows sand and dust to slide off the tunnel film.

Anti-fog

The Gelderland weather sometimes leads to fog, and fogging in turn can lead to condensation. Anti-fog ensures that the fog is absorbed by the foil and drained away as water through the anti-condensation layer.
