Now you can get DynaGlas Plus™ with SolarSoft™ pigmentation. You get all the advanced features of DynaGlas Plus, Palram’s popular corrugated polycarbonate with guaranteed condensate control. Plus, if you order it with SolarSoft pigmentation, you reap the benefits of high light diffusion.

The following is a comparison table:

Diffusing the sun’s direct radiation has been found to be beneficial for plants. With DynaGlas SolarSoft, plants or flowers get very high levels of PAR light, but direct radiation is removed, which helps to reduce leaf temperature and plant burning. Furthermore, light penetrates deeper into the canopy, improving plant growth.

SolarSoft can also be beneficial for humans. A person standing under DynaGlas SolarSoft, while receiving almost the same amount of light as with Clear or LDT, will not feel harsh radiation from the sun, and therefore will feel much more comfortable.

The SolarSoft resin component is UV protected with the same co-extrusion protection as all other DynaGlas products (99.9% UV protection).

DynaGlas SolarSoft incorporates technology that has been used to manufacture polycarbonate products for other markets for several years, thereby ensuring excellent performance, durability, and UV protection.

DynaGlas, a registered trademark of Palram, is the brand name for all of Palram Americas' single-layer corrugated polycarbonate glazing panels manufactured for commercial greenhouse use. The product was first introduced in North America in 1985. Since then, more than 150 million square feet have been installed worldwide. DynaGlas is manufactured in the USA and in Israel. The two factories are ISO9002 certified and produce many other polycarbonate and PVC products for various industries worldwide.

DynaGlas products are designed and engineered specifically for commercial greenhouse use. Most DynaGlas products are available with several exclusive features including guaranteed condensate control, 6-foot widths, specially formulated pigmentations, textured light-diffusing surfaces, and unique, performance-enhancing shapes.

In general, polycarbonate is inherently susceptible to condensate formation, especially when used to cover totally enclosed environments. DynaGlas Plus is made with an exclusive manufacturing process that results in the industry's only 7-year condensate control warranty.

Because effective condensate control is such a critical need for greenhouse growers, the "Plus" condensate control feature is now built-in to every DynaGlas product, with the exception of "SE" products (see next item in this table).

While DynaGlas SE has all the same quality of DynaGlas Plus, it's built-in condensate control is similar in performance to other competing brands — that is to say that it has very limited condensate control properties (for guaranteed condensate control, use DynaGlas Plus). DynaGlas SE is intended for use on greenhouse sides and ends, or where condensate drip is not considered objectionable.

DynaGlas Plus LDT (Light Diffusing Texture) offers very high light transmission (90.5%), but it also offers a high level of diffusion, helping to soften the suns rays and minimize shadows. DynaGlas Plus LDT offers growers diffusion that is similar to fiberglass or polyethylene film, but it transmits much more light than either of those options. It's highly recommended for any growing region, especially high light regions.

DynaGlas SolarSoft™ is the first corrugated panel to offer 100% light diffusion while also transmitting 85% of the sun's valuable light. The result is excellent growth, but a dramatically reduced need for shading during hotter periods.

DynaGlas RF is manufactured with polycarbonate resins that are specially engineered to transform portions of the sun's solar energy to make it more useful to plants. Effectively, plants see more usable PAR light inside a greenhouse glazed with DynaGlas Plus RF than outside under direct sunlight. Click here for more detailed information about DynaGlas Plus RF.
