DynaGlas® is now available with exclusive SolarSoft™ pigmentation. SolarSoft features all the advanced technology of DynaGlas Plus, such as 100% UV protection and guaranteed condensate control, but with SolarSoft pigmentation, you reap the benefits of up to 100% light diffusion.
The purpose of this added technology is to diffuse the light that is transmitted through the sheet, while still transmitting a high level of PAR light (85% or 90%). The mechanical properties of DynaGlas SolarSoft can be considered the same as other types of DynaGlas, such as Clear, LDT, White/Opal or Gray.
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 of infrared is removed, which helps to reduce leaf temperature and plant burning. Furthermore, light penetrates deeper into the canopy,
Type of DynaGlas and Pigmentation
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. durability, and UV protection.
Applications:
SolarSoft 90 is recommended for virtually any greenhouse application where light diffusion is desired
SolarSoft 85 is recommended for high light areas where shading is typically required during summer months, or where growers desire light transmission and diffusion similar to double-poly film or fiberglass |
- High PAR light transmission (up 90%)
- Diffused, softer light (up to 100% diffusion)
- Less shadows cast by structural members and/or curtain systems
- Deeper penetration of light into the plant canopy
- 100% UV protection

Light Transmission Characteristics
DynaGlas offers the same sparkling clarity as glass. But because DynaGlas requires no shade casting glazing system, DynaGlas transmits as much as 7% more light than glass. DynaGlas Plus SolarSoft 85™ offers high light transmission (85%), but also offers 100% light diffusion, helping to spread light throughout the greenhouse and reduce shadows.

| Visual Defects (inclusions, bubbles, black specks, gel, etc.) | If defect is not visible by inspection from a distance of 1 meter, it is not considered to be a defect. Surface abrasion may occur in transit. This is not considered a defect as DynaGlas is not intended for “architectural optical clarity” applications. This type of abrasion will not affect durability. |
