We can eat vegetables all year round thanks to agricultural greenhouses.
AGC product plays a role in the production of delicious vegetables in agricultural greenhouses.
Question1What are the materials used to make agricultural greenhouses? Aren't they made of vinyl?
For many people, the term “vinyl greenhouse” is probably more familiar than “agricultural greenhouse”.
Vinyl is generally used as the material for agricultural greenhouses in Japan.
The main reason for the popularity of vinyl is its low price.
However, with long-term use, it deteriorates, reducing the amount of sunlight that can penetrate. This means it needs to be replaced every 1 to 2 years.
This is where AGC’s fluoropolymer film “F-CLEAN®” 。
It is a reliable material for agricultural greenhouses, contributing to the production of delicious vegetables.

Question2Why does using fluoropolymer film make vegetables taste better?
Plants produce the nutrients they need to grow through photosynthesis.
In other words, whether or not vegetables grow well is greatly affected by how much sunlight they receive.
AGC’s fluoropolymer film “F-CLEAN™ ” has a higher transmission rate of sunlight compared to vinyl, and it hardly discolors even with long-term use, so its transmission rate remains nearly unchanged.
In addition, the amount of light required for growth differs depending on the type of vegetable (see diagram).
AGC's “F-CLEAN™ ”
enables you to control the amount of light required for the growth of vegetables and fruit!
Vegetables and sunlight hours
“F-CLEAN™ ” allows you to control and introduce UV rays.
By allowing a large amount of necessary sunlight to penetrate over a long period, vegetables grow robustly.
That’s why vegetables grown in agricultural greenhouses using “F-CLEAN™ ” are excellent and delicious.
Question3How long does fluoropolymer film last?
There are various thicknesses of “F-CLEAN™ ” film, and the service life differs depending on the thickness.
In AGC tests, the thickest film was found to be usable for over 25 years.
There are also several cases of agricultural greenhouses using “F-CLEAN™ ” film that have been in use for over 20 years.
Longer service life means less waste when it comes time to replace the film.
“F-CLEAN™ ” is a film for agricultural greenhouses that is not only good for growing delicious vegetables, but also kind to the environment.
There are many conditions for growing delicious vegetables and fruit!
