Test results strongly indicate that the pigment can improve the performance of polyethylene (PE) greenhouse flm to provide improved growing conditions. Te ALTIRIS infrared refecting pigment has been specially engineered by crystal size modifcation of rutile titanium dioxide to give high infrared refectance, and it is coated with dense silica to make it super durable. Recent laboratory-controlled tests and feld testing in Turkey now show that the pigment also has the potential to deliver benefts to commercial growers who use agricultural PE flm for their greenhouses.
