 Energy screen
Svensson is offering XLS 10 Ultra Revolux energy screen with H2no technology that reduces the formation of condensation droplets and increases light transmission. Condensation droplets act as a mirror to reflect light and reduce light transmission in the greenhouse. With H2no, water on the screen forms a thin, transparent film that is wicked away into the screen’s yarn structure. The result is an increase (up to 10 percent) in light transmission compared to an untreated screen. H2no technology is available in the Revolux flame retardant screen. READER SERVICE #56

The accompanying carrying trays are durable, flexible and long lasting. There are seven different tray configurations offered. Black is the standard tray color, but optional colors are available. READER SERVICE #57
 Algaecide/fungicide
ZeroTol Algaecide/Fungicide from BioSafe Systems LLC has a newly updated label in California.
