7 Layer Advantage: Beyond the Layer

3 Layer vs 7 Layer 4 Year Greenhouse Film

Blended Layers = Compromise

In a traditional three layer greenhouse film, all of the characteristics of the film are blended together in three layers. From the outer to the inner layers of the film, the layers a blend of polymers designed to provide the strength and light transmittance. Blended layers result in a trade-off between benefits. Easy to process polymers that are not very tough are blended with tougher polymers that are harder to process, resulting in compromised characteristics such as reduced light transmission, tear resistance, or puncture resistance.

Individual Layers = Optimal Performance

With the RPC BPI Agriculture 7 Layer SmartStructure® Technology, each layer of polymer is designed to provide the full benefit of its characteristics. 7 layers allows each polymer to be added in purity, or un-blended, providing dedicated layers for tear resistance, puncture resistance, and light transmission. One polymer is not blended with another. They do not offset one another's beneficial characteristics: leading to superior light transmission, as well as tear and puncture resistance.
