Ginegar Polysack Aluminet is a revolutionary reflective shade net manufactured by Ginegar/Polysack (Israel) using advanced aluminium-coating technology. Unlike conventional black shade nets that absorb solar radiation and re-radiate heat downward, Aluminet reflects unwanted radiation back to the sky — creating a significantly cooler microclimate underneath (5–8°C below standard shade nets).
The Aluminet Advantage
- Reflective Cooling — Aluminium coating reflects solar heat radiation upward instead of absorbing it, creating 5–8°C cooler conditions vs black shade net
- Superior Light Diffusion — Reflected and transmitted light is scattered uniformly, preventing hot spots and shadow bands
- Night-Time Heat Retention — Aluminium surface reflects internal heat radiation back down at night, protecting crops from frost and sudden temperature drops
- Longer Service Life — Aluminium coating is inert and UV-stable, lasting 8–10 years vs 3–5 years for standard shade nets
- Energy Savings — In fan & pad houses, Aluminet internal screens reduce cooling energy consumption by 20–30%
