Black and white 6 mil greenhouse plastic for blackout control, reflection, and custom cut-to-length coverage

Light deprivation plastic, also known as panda film, is a 5-layer co-extruded black and white greenhouse film used when growers need strong blackout control. The black side helps block incoming light, while the white side reflects light and helps reduce heat buildup inside the structure.

This 6 mil film is used for greenhouses, hoop houses, blackout systems, and grow facilities where light control matters. Order standard roll sizes or choose a custom cut length for your structure.

Also known as panda film

Many growers search for this material as panda film, black and white poly film, blackout greenhouse plastic, light dep plastic, or greenhouse blackout film. These terms generally refer to reversible black/white film used to manage light exposure inside a greenhouse or grow structure.

Blackout film for controlled light cycles

This black and white film is used by growers who need to manage light exposure inside greenhouses, hoop houses, and blackout structures. It is designed for light-deprivation applications where reducing outside light is important.

Reversible black and white panda film

Panda film uses a dual-sided black and white design:

• The black side helps block outside light.
• The white side reflects light and helps reduce heat buildup inside the structure.

Durable 6 mil greenhouse film

This 6 mil light deprivation film is built for greenhouse and grow-structure use. It provides a durable plastic cover option for blackout systems, sidewalls, hoop houses, and temporary light-control applications.

UV-Resistant for Long-Term Outdoor Use

The film is made for outdoor exposure and greenhouse applications. UV resistance helps the material hold up better under sunlight compared with non-greenhouse plastic covers.

Custom cut for greenhouses, hoop houses, and blackout systems

Choose a standard roll size or request a custom cut length for your structure. Larger rolls may ship by parcel or LTL freight depending on size, weight, and destination.

Reflective white side to keep heat down

Facing outward, the white side reflects sunlight away from the structure, which helps limit heat buildup. This is useful for growers using blackout covers, sidewalls, or controlled-light environments.

Common uses

• Light deprivation greenhouses
• Blackout hoop houses
• Panda film grow rooms
• Greenhouse blackout sidewalls
• Temporary blackout covers
• Reflective interior greenhouse lining
