IRAC Greenhouse Plastic / Cover
IRAC Greenhouse Plastic is a 5-layer co-extruded greenhouse film designed for better plant growth and crop protection. It combines infrared (IR), anti-drip / anti-condensation (AC), thermicity, and 55% light diffusion to help retain heat, reduce condensation, and distribute light more evenly. The 6 mil film is available in widths from 12 to 60 feet and can be cut to length for customer requirements.
Industry coverage: why anti-drip film matters
Condensation and fog can block light, drip onto crops, and increase disease pressure. HortiDaily and Greenhouse Product News have covered EVO AC / Sunmaster anti-drip film technology from Plastika Kritis, including grower examples where longer-lasting condensation control reduced fog and dripping.
Advanced IRAC Greenhouse Plastic for Maximum Efficiency
We design our greenhouse plastic to improve plant growth. The Plastic Light Diffuser Sheet helps spread light evenly. Better light coverage supports healthy crops and reduces stress. This cover also holds heat for stable temperatures inside. A strong material ensures durability in tough weather. It works well for all types of greenhouse structures.
Our film is built to last multiple seasons. A 4-Year Greenhouse Cover means less frequent replacements. Quality materials provide long-term efficiency and better results.
Infrared and Anti-Drip Technology for Better Growth
Infrared additives help retain heat during colder months. This prevents sudden temperature drops and protects plants. The anti-drip feature reduces water buildup on the film. Less moisture prevents mold, disease, and blocked sunlight. The Dispersion of Light improves photosynthesis and plant health. Even light distribution helps crops grow at a steady rate.
Our advanced technology supports greenhouses in all climates. Fewer temperature shifts mean stronger and healthier crops. Reliable protection ensures a better growing environment.
Durable 6 Mil Thickness Options
Our covers come in 6 Mil Greenhouse Plastic and thicker options. Both choices offer strong protection against weather damage. Thicker plastic lasts longer and resists wear over time. The film stands up to wind, rain, and UV rays. It is a 4-year greenhouse cover made up of strong materials to reduce the need for frequent replacements.
Each option provides excellent insulation for better climate control. Greenhouses stay warm in winter and cool in summer. Our plastic ensures long-term performance in all conditions.
Wide Size Range to Fit Any Greenhouse
We offer various width options to match different needs. Sizes range from 12 feet to 60 feet wide. This flexibility allows a perfect fit for any greenhouse. Custom cut-to-length options ensure minimal waste. Our plastic covers work for small and large structures.
A precise fit helps maintain proper insulation and durability. Strong materials keep greenhouses protected in all seasons. Wide size options make installation easier and more efficient. Every greenhouse gets the right coverage for better growth.
55% Light Diffusion for Healthier Plants
Balanced light exposure helps plants grow evenly and strong. Our plastic light diffuser sheet provides 55% light diffusion for better coverage. Soft, scattered light prevents hot spots and burns. This improves photosynthesis and supports steady plant development. Dispersion of Light ensures even coverage for all crops.
Even lower leaves receive proper sunlight for full growth. Plants absorb energy more efficiently with diffused lighting. A well-lit greenhouse produces healthier and stronger plants. Controlled light exposure improves both yield and quality.
Superior Heat Retention for Stable Temperatures
Keeping temperatures stable is essential for plant health. Our film holds heat to prevent sudden cold shocks. Infrared additives help retain warmth during cooler nights. Less heat loss means lower energy costs and better growth. Controlled temperatures reduce plant stress and disease risks.
The greenhouse stays warm without excessive heating use. This improves efficiency while maintaining ideal growing conditions. Better insulation leads to healthier crops year-round. A steady climate ensures consistent plant development.

Use and Limitations
Exposure to chemicals
Exposure of greenhouse films to severe chemical conditions has an adverse effect on the lifetime of the film. Avoid excessive use of agrochemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers. Take measures to prevent direct contact of chemicals to the film. Ensure that metal structures are galvanized and are free from corrosion. When wooden structure parts are used, avoid contact of the film with resin, oil, petroleum or volatile preservatives. Prevent contact of the film with PVC accessories. Chemicals containing halogens, sulfur, copper, iron, are known to accelerate the degradation of greenhouse films.
Specifically, if the following elements are found at levels higher than specified, the films are excluded from this warranty:
| Element | Maximum level |
|---|---|
| Sulfur | 100 ppm |
| Chlorine | 10 ppm |
| Iron | 50 ppm |
Overheating
Overheating of the film has an adverse effect on its lifetime. Hot air should be directed away from the film.
Disinfection chemical use
When chemicals are used to disinfect the soil, the treated soil must be covered with a film for a minimum of three weeks. After the film is removed, the greenhouse should be ventilated.
Anti-fog / Anti-condense
Anti Condensation (AC) / Anti-drip (AD) additives performance is limited to normal conditions. In case of extreme weather inside or outside the greenhouse, AC/AD performance can be affected, reduced, or may not function.
For best AC/AD additives performance, please avoid:
- High humidity
- Wet surface
- Use of heaters when the surface is wet
- Heaters with air suction from inside the greenhouse
- Insufficient arch slope
AC/AD performance can also be affected by cross bars between the arches that are in contact with the film or blocking the travel of the condensation to the lower part of the arch.
