PipePaint    

A coating applied to heating pipes inside the greenhouse, making them highly reflective so more light reaches the crop. It also protects the pipes from corrosion and increases heat radiation, helping save on energy costs. 

Suitable for new, untreated or previously painted metal pipes. Ready-to-use, with no dilution needed, and can be applied at any time without emptying the greenhouse.

More Light, More Heat, Less Corrosion 

Heating pipes take up valuable space in the greenhouse but are often overlooked as a light source. PipePaint makes pipes highly reflective, so light that would otherwise be absorbed is redirected onto the crop instead. The reflective coating also increases the pipes' heat radiation, helping the heating system work more efficiently. 

PipePaint also protects pipes from premature corrosion, extending their lifespan. It's not phytotoxic, so it can be applied at any time without emptying the greenhouse first, and one coat is usually enough. New or untreated pipes need two coats for full coverage.

More Reflected Light 

PipePaint's reflective coating can improve light reflection on heating pipes by up to 50%, redirecting more light onto the crop and increasing heat radiation for a more efficient heating system. 

1,200m

Coverage Per Bucket 

One 15-litre bucket of PipePaint covers up to 1,200 metres of standard heating pipe, at a rate of around 75 metres per litre, which makes large-scale application fast and straightforward. 

1hr

Touch-Dry Fast 

PipePaint dries to the touch in about an hour at 35 to 45°C and is fully cured within 24 hours, so heating pipes are back in action with minimal downtime.

Application

Remove any dirt, grease or rust from the surface before painting. Set the water temperature in the pipes to 35-45°C, stir the product before use, and apply with a paint roller or painting glove. No dilution is needed, PipePaint is ready-to-use.

It's not phytotoxic, so it can be applied while the greenhouse is fully operating, with crops in place. One coat is usually enough; new or untreated pipes should be painted twice for full coverage 

Coverage and Dosage

One litre of PipePaint covers around 75 metres (246 feet) of standard heating pipe. Each 15-litre bucket covers 1,000 to 1,200 metres (3,280 to 3,937 feet), and is supplied ready-to-use with no dilution required.

Durability

PipePaint is very wear-resistant under normal greenhouse conditions. Wear increases with heavy use, such as trolleys running frequently over the coated pipes, so pipes in high-traffic areas may need repainting sooner than others.

Why ReduSystems 

The Right Solution for Every Season

Light is the most variable factor in greenhouse growing, yet many growers do not yet use it fully throughout the year. We help growers protect, improve and adjust crop performance in every season, with a solution matched to each stage of the growing cycle.

With decades of experience in light spectra, PAR and photosynthesis, we adapt every solution to the grower's crop, greenhouse and location. Our advice is based on science and real-world results, not guesswork.

Frequently asked questions

What surfaces can PipePaint be used on?

PipePaint can be applied to new, untreated metal heating pipes as well as pipes that have already been painted. New or untreated pipes need two coats for full coverage. 

Do I need to empty the greenhouse to apply PipePaint?

No. PipePaint is not phytotoxic, so it can be applied safely while the greenhouse is fully operating, without needing to remove the crop first.

How is PipePaint applied?

PipePaint is ready-to-use and applied directly with a paint roller or a painting glove. No spray equipment or dilution is needed. 

How long does PipePaint last?

PipePaint is very wear-resistant under normal greenhouse conditions. Wear increases with heavy use, such as trolleys running frequently over the coated pipes, so those areas may need repainting sooner. 

How much light reflection can I expect from PipePaint?

PipePaint can improve the reflection of light on heating pipes by up to 50%, helping more light reach the crop. 

How much area does one bucket of PipePaint cover?

One 15-litre bucket covers around 1,000 to 1,200 metres (3,280 to 3,937 feet) of standard heating pipe (5.1 cm / 2 inches diameter), enough for large-scale application.
