Brief: See the journey from feature description to real application in this concise overview. This demonstration showcases how the Soft 12mic PE metalized reflective film is used in orchards for apples and grapes. You'll learn how its high-reflectivity surface improves light distribution within the fruit canopy and see practical insights into its deployment and performance in agricultural settings.
Related Product Features:
Features a high reflectivity of 70%-90% through aluminum plating to enhance light for fruit coloring.
Made from flexible polyethylene material that is easy to cut, lay, and conform to orchard terrain.
Available in various thicknesses from 10-50μm, with 12μm being a common option for short-term use.
Designed with durability to withstand outdoor conditions like sun, rain, and light winds.
Thicker versions (25-30μm) include anti-UV coatings for reuse over 1-2 growing seasons.
Lightweight and thin construction minimizes damage from branch friction during use.
Supports improved light conditions in the lower and middle parts of fruit trees for better yield.
Balances practicality with environmental suitability for efficient orchard management.
FAQs:
What is the typical lifespan of reflective film for fruit trees?
The lifespan varies by thickness and use: thin films (12-15μm) are for short-term use (less than a month), while thicker films (25-30μm) with anti-UV coatings can be reused for 1-2 growing seasons, lasting 2-3 months or longer.
How does the reflective film improve fruit growth?
It reflects ground-scattered light to the lower and middle parts of fruit trees and shaded areas, compensating for insufficient light within the canopy, which enhances fruit coloring and quality, especially for apples and grapes.
What factors affect the durability of the PE metalized film?
Key factors include thickness (thinner films age faster), environmental conditions like UV exposure and weather, and material quality—high-grade films with anti-UV agents and thickened aluminum coatings last 30%-50% longer.
Is the film easy to handle in orchard settings?
Yes, its polyethylene construction makes it lightweight, flexible, and easy to cut, lay, and recycle, conforming well to orchard terrain without significant damage from branches.
