Hort Americas is offering a new line of safe and environmentally-friendly shade compounds from Sudlac.
Eclipse LD is a versatile white shading compound that offers protection for an entire season due to its high wear resistance. It offers a higher level of protection due to its chalk pigment. The desired level of shading is adjustable by regulating the amount of compound used. After it is diluted, Eclipse LD can be applied manually or by machine to any greenhouse glazing.
Optifuse IR is a diffuse coating that scatters the light to a high degree in combination with effective heat protection. The high light levels offer light loving floral and vegetable crops the ideal base for healthy growth. After it is diluted, Optifuse IR can be easily applied manually or by machine to any type of glass greenhouse.
TransPAR is a very efficient shading compound that offers a high level of temperature reduction while still maintaining high light levels. Crops benefit an entire season from the optimum balance between photosynthetically active radiation and heat radiation with a high level of diffusion. After it is diluted, TransPAR can be applied manually or by machine to any greenhouse glazing.
