Description
Formulas characterized by the Eclipse® brand name are used for the purpose of protecting greenhouse crops from unwanted radiation; each product can be applied to all types of greenhouse coverings: glass, soft (polyethylene) and rigid plastic material (acrylic, polycarbonates, PVC). The products of the Eclipse line combine the characteristics of shading with the special characteristics of opacity to infrared rays. By reflection mechanism it protects in the infrared range, which is not seen but felt: in comparison with a usual classical shading, the temperature in the greenhouse, in strong sunlight, is significantly lower.
- Eclipse®F4: Good shading capacity and good toughness.
The choice of formulation depends on the crop to be protected and thus the duration of the cycle as well as the climatic characteristics of the area where the product is applied.
Method of use
The product should be diluted with clean water before being sprayed on the cover. Depending on the application method, type of greenhouse and climate, the dilution ratio and amount of liquid to be sprayed may vary. It is recommended to make one application at the beginning of the sunny season, repeating, if necessary, during the period of maximum sunlight (June); a single standard application provides 60 to 70 percent shading. Application should be made on dry, preferably clean and (only in the case of newly installed material) degreased material. Apply preferably during the hottest hours of the day. At the end of the season the film residue is easily removed with a water jet and brush, applied with movements parallel to the surface of the roofing or with the use of the specific product EclipseNet according to the methods described for that product.
