Overall winner: VIVOSUN Black and White Panda Film 10x50ft 5.5 mil poly film
Key Differences
VIVOSUN (A) is marketed as a dual-sided black-and-white panda film that blocks all light on the black side and offers high reflectivity on the white side with 5.5 mil thickness, making it suited for growers needing light control and reflectivity. Farm Plastic Supply (B) is a clear 6 mil polyethylene with UV additives and higher light transmission, better for applications needing maximum light and UV-stabilized durability but is only offered in a single 12'x20' size
