Ciba: Photo-selective additive "Smartlight"
The photo-selective additive "Smartlight" RL 1000 from Ciba Specialty Chemicals (www.cibasc.com), Basel / Switzerland, a red luminescent additive for agricultural plastic applications, converts UV light into the visible light that plants need for photosynthesis. Ciba points to successful field trials and, in some cases, higher yields compared with a conventional PE film.
