Agricultural greenhouses – Anti reflection

Kriya’s Anti Reflection (AR) coating for glass is a ready to use solvent based, thermal curable coating. It can be applied using standard wet deposition techniques such as roll coating and slot die, making it the economical choice over conventional AR coatings. The glass coater can determine the minimum reflection through fine tuning the wet layer deposition and thus maximize the transmission at a specific wavelength of light.

Antireflection on glass

For both existing as well as new greenhouses, Kriya Materials has developed an easy to apply film. The film increases the impact strength of the glass so that, in the event of a hail storm, less breakage occurs. When the glass does break the film prevents the glass from shattering protecting the crops from  falling glass. The film is treated so that it filters the harmful UV light.

Standardly the film is coated with an antireflection coating resulting in up to 2.5% more light for plant growth. Upon request, an reduced dust settling functionality can be added to reduce dust settling in dry periods.

laminated glass antireflection

A: Most important blue light for vegetative growth (430-450 nm)

B: Green light for stomatal control, phototropism, photomorphogenic growth (500-550 nm)

C: Most important red light for stem growth, flowering and fruit production (640-680 nm)
