Product Description
ALCUDIA® CA-3130A is stabilized with HALS (colorless), UV absorber and antioxidants. It contains medium and long wave IR absorbers. The main properties of these compound films are high solar radiation resistance, visible light diffusion and heat retention.
Applications include films for covering greenhouses and tunnels.
ALCUDIA® CA-3131A 200µm thickness, 1:2:1 three layers coextruded films, with EVA ALCUDIA® CA-3730A compound in the middle layer, has a lifetime of three seasons in the south of Spain.
