TOYOTANI ® Film

(1) Development History

In 2002, registered “TOYOTANI ® " brand, cooperated with other companies to produce TOYOTANI® Film;

In 2011, FLC imported the full set of a production line to produce films for high-quality greenhouse;

In 2016, production capacity reached 22,000 tons and the annual output of film was10000 tons.

(2) Product Feature

(a) Quality feature: TOYOTANI ® Film is manufactured by Japanese standards, multi-functions, 4-years’ quality warranty, especially the light transmission and tensile strength are much higher than national standards and other brands of film;

(b) R & D feature: Under the leadership of FLC, Japanese and Chinese engineers formed researching group to solve and research different problems happened during production.

(3) Formulation Feature

TOYOTANI ® Film used Japanese formulation, combined more than 10 years’ Chinese greenhouse film data, based on many years’  practice, and then created the unique film with Chinese characteristics.

(4) Partner Feature

The CEO of FLC graduated from Japan, thus FLC has extensive cooperation with Japanese universities and enterprises, including MITSUI CHEMICALS, KYOWA, Chinese Academy of Science Chemistry Institute and Chinese Academy of Agriculture Science.

(5) Application Case

Through many years accumulations of marketing, TOYOTANI® Film has been used extensively for big greenhouse projects in Vietnam, Canada, and Dominica, etc.

Greenhouse film

Greenhouse film is called greenhouse cover, poly film, greenhouse fabric, etc, typically designed for covering greenhouse to create a favorable controlled environment for growing plant. It helps regulate growing factors like temperature, humidity, light levels while protecting crop from external weather such like hails, rain, wind, and frost, by all these means to help grower achieve a high crop yield.

Material

Most Common Materialin the market

Polyethylene: Themajority in the market, widely used due to its flexibility and affordability.

Polycarbonate: has a more life span, but cost is much higher

EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate): Provides better UV protection and thermal properties, but cost is higher

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Durable but can degrade quick under extensive sunshine, and not environment friendly.

Main features of PE film

Transparency: Light transmission can be controlled due to different climate zone, which is crucial for photosynthesis.

UV Protection: Added UV inhibitors to prevent film get degradation shortly under extensive sunshine.

Heat Retention: Some films are designed to retain heat, reducing energy costs for heating during winter season.

Anti-condensation: Minimizes water droplet formation, which can block sunlight and potentially spread diseases.

Longevity:Depending on material quality, thickness and environmental factors, ranges from 1 to 5+ years,

Thickness: ranges from80-200 microns (3-8 mils), chosen based on climate and durability needs.

Selecting the Right Greenhouse Film

Climate factors

• Cold Climates: Using films with high thermal retention or insulation properties (e.g., IR-treated films).
• Hot Climates: Selectfilms with UV-blocking properties and diffused light features to prevent overheating or scorching the plants
• Humid Environments: Anti drippingare key to reduce water droplets inside the greenhouse.

Film Thickness

• 80-120 microns (3-5 mils): Suitable for short-term use or less harsh weather.
• 150-200 microns (6-8 mils): Bestfor long-term application and areas with strong sunshine, winds, heavy rain, or snow.

Light Transmission

• Ensure the film allows 85-95% light transmissionfor optimal plant growth depends on climate area.
• For light-sensitive cropsor where sunshine extremely strong, opt for films with light diffusion to reduce shadows and spread sunlight evenly.

Special Features

• UV Protection: Prolongs film life and protects plants from harmful rays.
• Anti-drip/Condensation Control: Prevents fungal diseases by keeping the inner surface dry.
• Pest Control: Some films come with additives to repel insects.
• Multi-layer Films: Combine features like light diffusion, thermal retention, and anti-fog properties.

Why choose Toyotani® greenhosue film

Crystal Clear, Outstanding Light Transmission and Clarity

Superior performance of transparency, light transmission rate is more than 90%, the higher transmission rate ensures adequate lights, which can be absorbed by the plants and help optimize yield in greenhouse applications

Higher Addictive of Metallocene Resins to keep the film longer-lasting clear and tough.

UV Protection, Better Durability and Longevity:

Advanced UV stabilizers maximize physical properties for the longer life of film and help protect it from chemical damage. Apart from the occasional tornado, hurricane, or hailstorm, more damage is done to greenhouse film by sunlight than any force of nature. It’s the ultraviolet component of sunlight that does the damage, resulting in yellowing and weakening of the covering film. Fortunately, you can buy greenhouse film that has built-in resistance to the damaging effects of UV radiation. If you buy a plastic that does not have UV protection, you can expect a very short service life from that poly – very possibly no more than a single year. Most greenhouse films that are treated with UV protection, on the other hand, have a service life rating of from 3 to 5 years.

Anti-Drip& Anti-Dust

Droplets formed at the inside surface of greenhouse films due to water-condensation have negative consequences on plant quality and growth, as they reduce light transmission and increase the incidence of certain diseases, To prevent this from occurring, we use a special anti-drip (AD) additive, which flattens the water droplets into a layer of water that runs down the sides of the greenhouse. So the film with the function of Anti-Drip can reduce the need for pesticides, delay the onset of diseases, significantly improve light transmission, promote early harvesting, and contribute to enhanced yield quantity and quality.

Better Thermic Effect

TOYOTANI special Multi-layer films, containing a combination of EVA and Infra-Red additives skillfully structured in the middle layers, which absorb the Infra-Red radiation and reduce heat losses throughout the night.
