Choosing the Right Greenhouse Plastic for Your Crop

A practical guide to film thickness, UV stabilisation, and diffusion — from the Sona Plast team.

Greenhouse performance starts with the cover material. The wrong film can reduce light transmission, trap excess heat, or fail prematurely under Egyptian sun exposure.

When selecting agricultural plastic, consider:

• Light diffusion vs. direct transmission for your crop type • UV stabilisation rated for multi-season use • Thickness appropriate for wind load and installation method • Anti-drip additives to reduce disease pressure from condensation
