Green-Tek Aluminet Cool Shade Thermal Screen - Acts Like A Mirror

Green-Tek Aluminet Cool Shade
Thermal Screen - Acts Like A Mirror
Aluminet Thermal Screens offer superior year round climatic protection for
flowers, potted plants and vegetables. Aluminet acts like a mirror as its unique
aluminized screens reflect unwanted sunlight and harmful radiation heat from
the greenhouse during summer, and preserve the heat inside the greenhouse in
winter.
When used as a retractable curtain on the inside of the greenhouse, Aluminet
reflects out the unwanted radiation and heat during the day. During cooler
temperatures, it preserves heat inside the greenhouse. The open structure of
the screen creates a cooler climate, making it excellent for use in high humidity
conditions.
Aluminet Shade Cloth - Shades and Cools
Due to the superior reflectability and light weight of Aluminet, it is the
perfect cloth to cover the outside of a greenhouse instead of standard
black shade cloth, it does not absorb the heat. Its dual functionability
both shades and cools the greenhouse. Much lighter and quick to
install.
Description
Aluminet is a special knitted screen made from metalized HDPE.
The fibers are produced from mono-oriented HDPE, giving the fiber
durability and longevity. After an aluminum metalization process,
the films are covered with a special anti-oxidation coating. The net is
knitted into a precise uniform texture. The net meets the ASTM-D 3887
standard.

Aluminet is also used as a direct covering over vegetable crops. The
aluminized screens not only provide shade, but also protect against
frost. Under actual field conditions, crops covered with black shade
cloth during frost conditions were totally damaged, while crops covered
with Aluminet had no damage whatsoever.

Green-Tek Anti Insect Nets
Why use anti-insect nets?
There is a growing awareness of the severe damage caused by toxic pesticides to the environment and public health. Consumers are
no longer prepared to put pesticide treated agricultural produce on their tables. This trend of reduced use of toxic materials will grow
together with the legislation of new environment protection laws. Pests cause immense damage to the yield by feeding on or sucking
the plant, depositing specks on the crop, and spreading disease. Insects also develop resistance to chemical pesticides, resulting in a
significant reduction in the efficiency of these materials.
How do the nets work?
In today’s competitive market there is a growing awareness of the severe damage caused to agricultural produce by pests. As a result,
production in protected structures is becoming increasingly important. Green-Tek / Polysack has designed and produced a range of
protective nets to block the entry of pests into the crop environment and to significantly reduce the use of pesticides.
• Our highly qualified engineers, researchers and agronomists ensure cost-effective solutions to the most challenging climatic
conditions.
• Product support and on-site training are provided by our professional field teams.
• Courses and seminars are held in various languages for growers, consultants and agents from all over the world.
• Polysack’s new technologies are implemented by skilled professionals and are supported by stringent quality-control and engineering
systems.
• The company’s quality assurance policy focuses on the supply of quality products to its customers - for long-term use - under harsh
and diverse field conditions.
• All the company’s activities are conducted under ISO 9001 and IQNet standards.
• All Green-Tek / Polysack products are environmentally friendly.
Anti-insect nets block the penetration of insects and are differentiated by hole size (mesh = number of holes per inch). The type
of net (mesh size) is selected according to the insect that is prevalent in the area. Call American Clay for custom sizing. All are UV
Protected for 5 Years.
17-mesh net For protection against fruit flies (Mediterranean fruit fly and fig fruit fly), grape moth and Pomegranate fruit butterfly in
orchards and vineyards. This net is also used for protection against climatic elements such as hail, wind and excess solar radiation.
Fabrics
There is a growing use of anti-insect nets as an important IPM (Integrated Pest Management) tool. These nets block the entry of pests
into the crop environment, thus reducing the need to apply pesticides. The nets are commonly used to protect vegetable, herbs, orchard
and flower crops and are used for protection in the following structures:
Nethouses Lightweight frames with poles and cables that support the net.
Greenhouses Air vents are covered with nets, or all the greenhouse walls are made of nets.
Walk-in tunnels Completely covered with net, or covered with net and PE sheets.
25-mesh net For protection against Mediterranean fruit fly in pepper.
40-mesh net For partial blocking of whiteflies where climatic conditions do not allow the use of 50 mesh nets.
50-mesh net For blocking whiteflies, aphids and leafminer. (Also available in the color grey.)
75-mesh net For bocking whiteflies, aphids and thrips in greenhouses with forced-air systems.

Green-Tek Optinet 50
Dual Thrip Control Optimizing Airflow While Blocking Pests and Thrips
OptiNet is a sophisticated new-generation anti-insect net that integrates physical and optical protection.
This innovative net dramatically reduces the number of pests entering the crop environment, especially thrips and also
whitefly and leafminer. The net contains optical additives (non-toxic) that blind and repel the insects before they reach
the net. Four-year trials conducted at the Besor experimental station in conjunction with the Volcani Institute of the
Agricultural Research Organization demonstrated that the thrips population under 40-and 50-mesh OptiNet is eight times
lower than under the standard 50-mesh nets. UV Potection for 5 Years.
