ReduClean for diffuse coatings     

A cleaning agent that removes ReduSystems diffuse coatings from the greenhouse cover once they've reached the end of the season. It is formulated specifically for diffuse coatings, which regular ReduClean cannot remove. 

Suitable for any greenhouse cover, glass and all types of plastic. Mixed with water and sprayed on, then washed off naturally when rain is expected, or removed mechanically by brushing.

The Right Cleaner for Diffuse Coatings 

ReduClean for diffuse coatings removes ReduSystems diffuse coatings once they've done their job, so the greenhouse cover is ready for the next season or a fresh application. Removing the coating before the winter months lets more natural sunlight reach the crop, when light levels are naturally at their lowest. Diffuse coatings need a different formulation than the standard shading and speciality coatings, which is why this dedicated version exists. 

Diluted with water and sprayed evenly across the cover, ReduClean for diffuse coatings is typically applied just before a stretch of rain, washing away within about 2 days. It can also be removed mechanically by brushing after soaking for at least 15 minutes, and its organic components are biodegradable.

Highly Concentrated   

Diluted at a ratio of up to 1:7 with water, ReduClean for diffuse coatings treats a larger area using less product per application, keeping costs down for growers.

Fast Rain Removal

Applied ahead of forecasted rain, ReduClean for diffuse coatings washes off within about 2 days, faster than regular ReduClean, or removed mechanically by brushing after a short soak.

Light Drives Yield 

For light-loving crops during the darker autumn and winter months, every 1% more light typically means about 1% higher production, helping protect overall crop yield through the season.

Suitable for glass, acrylate, polycarbonate and plastic film greenhouses, and effective across a wide range of crops depending on climate.
Application

Dilute with water at a ratio of 1:5 to 1:7 and spray evenly across a dry greenhouse cover during dry weather, avoiding temperatures below 5°C.

For rain removal, apply when substantial rain is expected within about 2 days, so the rain washes the product away naturally.

For mechanical removal, let the product soak on the surface for at least 15 minutes before brushing off. 

 

Coverage and Dosage

Each 20-litre can of ReduClean for diffuse coatings is diluted with water at a ratio of 1:5 to 1:7, depending on how much cleaning is needed.

Growers use at least 250 litres of product per hectare (66 US gallons per 2.5 acres), which is about 12.5 cans per hectare (5 cans per acre). Mixed with water, this comes to between 1,500 and 2,000 litres of spray liquid per hectare (160 to 214 US gallons per acre).

For guidance on the right dose for your specific situation, reach out to a ReduSystems specialist. 

Important Remarks

ReduClean for diffuse coatings is suitable for any greenhouse cover, glass and all types of plastic, but for specially treated or factory-coated glass, check with your glass supplier first.

On polycarbonate, acrylate or plastic film, rinse the surface after about 15 minutes, since rain alone may not fully remove the product from these materials.

Avoid applying near rooftop sprinklers, and isolate the water reservoir during application to prevent any change in pH.

Apply only to a dry surface in dry weather, and not below 5°C. ReduClean for diffuse coatings is a strong product, so protective gloves, clothing, and face and eye protection should be worn when handling it.
