Used to provide physical support and a suitable environment for plant growth, the hydroponic profile plays a crucial role in hydroponics.
There are various types of hydroponic systems, but the most widely used in Brazil is the NFT system. In this system, the nutrients circulate within the hydroponic profile to the exact extent that the plant needs to develop.
It is the profiles that allow the proper circulation of water, nutrients and oxygen to the roots, directly affecting the growth and development of the plants.
Here at Hortivinyl, our profiles are made to measure, with customized lengths and holes to best suit your needs.
Hortivinyl profiles
The Hortivinyl Profiles are 100% industrialized in noble PVC material, it is a raw material of high quality, durability and performance.
All profiles are made using the co-extrusion process and the exterior is completely white, helping the profile to absorb less heat, preventing the nutrient solution from heating up, making the system easier to clean and helping to reflect light to the plants.
The black and smooth inside makes it difficult for light to enter the system, inhibiting the development of algae and the proliferation of root diseases, in addition to assisting the flow of the nutrient solution and in cleaning the profiles.
The unique design favors stability of the bench, reducing the undesirable unevenness between the trestles, even making the installation, assembly and maintenance process easier.
Manufacturing products using PVC resin makes it possible to offer the highest guarantee and quality on the market, offering the best performance and durability of products in the field. PVC is the most suitable material to produce profiles, countertops and accessories for hydroponics, due to its high mechanical resistance, it is easy to clean and has excellent thermal stability. PVC has no restrictions on behalf of ANVISA – Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária [Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency].
Advantages
🌿 The completely white outer part absorbs less heat, reduces the heating of the nutrient solution, makes it easier to clean the system and helps diffuse light, aiding plant development.
🌿 The smooth black inside makes it harder for algae to grow and diseases to spread, as it reduces the amount of light entering the system. It also helps the flow of the nutrient solution and cleans the profiles.
🌿 Its exclusive design favors the stability of the bench, reducing the undesirable unevenness between the trestles, facilitating the installation, assembly and maintenance process. It also provides a highly resistant, leak-free system with high production efficiency.
🌿 The lower internal part of the profile has a specific angle, which serves to direct the flow of the nutrient solution, ensuring that the solution passes through all the plants evenly.
