ISHS Acta Horticulturae 154: II International Symposium on Plastics in Mediterranean Countries

RESEARCH ON PLASTIC GREENHOUSE CLADDING MATERIALS

Author:   Ing. D. Waaijenberg
Abstract:
IMAG has worked out a research-programme in co-operation with other specialized institutes, to develop the specific characteristics of insulating greenhouse cladding materials.

During the symposium will be reported about the research on plastic channel-section panels and on plastic films.

The following aspects will be indicated:

  • a calculation procedure together with measurements of the insulation value
  • the resistance against hail
  • the strength and stiffness
  • the transmissivity to diffuse and perpendicular light
  • the diminution of both the strength and the light transmittance through accelerated ageing tests
  • the vapour permeability.
