Acrylic beads for enhancing thermicity of greenhouse films

This invention relates to a polymeric composition suitable for greenhouse film applications, and greenhouse films made therefrom. The polymeric composition suitable for greenhouse film applications according to the present invention comprises a) 50 to 99 percent by weight of a continuous polymeric phase comprising a polymer selected from the group consisting of a polyolefin, a polyolefin copolymer, an ethylene propylene copolymer with an acrylic ester, an ethylene or propylene copolymer with a vinyl acetate, and combinations thereof; and b) 1 to 50 percent by weight of polymeric particles having an average particle diameter of 0.5 to 10 μm; a refractive index from 1.474 to 1.545; an average particle hardness from 1.2367E+10 N/m2 to 8.4617E+10 N/m2; and at least 60% polymerized acrylic monomer units.
