If you are still using glass or polyfilm to cover your greenhouse, it's time to take a look at F-CLEAN®. F-CLEAN® is an ultra-thin ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE) film, often referred to as ETFE foil, designed by Asahi Glass to increase the yields of horticultural plants grown in commercial greenhouses.

F-CLEAN® allows maximum UV light transmission to ensure early blooms, more colorful plants and sweeter fruit and vegetables. The film's durable chemical composition is self-cleaning and will last more than 10 years - twice as long as the leading polyfilm. There are cost savings to be gained as replacements are not necessary with this ground-breaking material.
