ReduFuse

A removable coating that diffuses incoming sunlight evenly across the greenhouse, instead of blocking it. Unlike a shading coating, it lets light through while directing it deeper into the crop, reducing stress and increasing photosynthesis in every leaf. 

Suitable for glass, acrylate, polycarbonate and plastic film greenhouses, though glass roofs work best. It is highly wear-resistant and works well for crops that need a lot of light, such as vegetables and flowering plants.

Even Light for Stronger and Healthier Crops  

Diffused light spreads evenly through the greenhouse, both horizontally and vertically, so there are no harsh hot spots or shaded gaps. Because the light reaches deeper into the crop, lower leaves stay active too, increasing photosynthesis and reducing stress across the whole plant.

It also becomes transparent again when wet, letting more light through during rain. When layered with another ReduSystems coating, ReduFuse should always be applied first, as the layer underneath.

Maximum Diffusion    

HortiScatter, the measure of how evenly light is spread, can reach up to 60% at higher doses, adjustable to match the crop's needs. This helps light reach deeper into the crop, so every leaf gets more of what it needs.

Two-Way Diffusion

ReduFuse spreads light both horizontally and vertically through the greenhouse, rather than in just one direction. This means lower leaves receive more light too, not only the top of the crop.

Decades of R&D 

ReduSystems has been developing greenhouse coatings since 1986, backed by ongoing research into light, climate and crop performance. This experience shapes every product, including ReduFuse.

Application

Apply only under fast-drying conditions, between 10°C and 25°C, with relative humidity below 80% and wind speed under 2 m/s. Mix with clean water in the tank, stirring continuously, and apply evenly across a clean, dry surface, preferably by machine.

Do not apply if rain is expected within 12 hours, and do not combine with non-ReduSystems shading products. 

Coverage and Dosage

Each 15kg bucket of ReduFuse is mixed with water before spraying. Growers typically use between 10 and 22 buckets per hectare (4 to 9 buckets per acre), depending on the level of diffusion needed for their crop, climate and greenhouse type, with machine application typically needing slightly fewer buckets than manual.

The amount of water used depends on how you apply it: about 1,000 to 1,500 litres per hectare (107 to 160 US gallons per acre) by machine, or 1,700 to 2,000 litres per hectare (182 to 214 US gallons per acre) by hand. For guidance on the right dose for your specific situation, reach out to a ReduSystems specialist.

Removal

Removed with ReduClean for diffuse coatings, diluted at 250 litres per hectare (26 US gal per acre) at a ratio of 1:5 to 1:7, applied when a considerable amount of rain is expected within a week so the rain washes the coating off. If the result is uneven, a second application combined with mechanical brushing can help.

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

Which greenhouse coverings is ReduFuse suitable for?

Best suited to glass, and also effective on acrylate, polycarbonate and plastic film.

How is ReduFuse removed at the end of the season?

With ReduClean for diffuse coatings, diluted at 250 litres per hectare (26 US gal per acre) at a ratio of 1:5 to 1:7, applied when a considerable amount of rain is expected within a week so the rain washes the coating off. 

Can ReduFuse be applied by drone?

Yes. It can be applied by drone, machine, helicopter or by hand. Application methods and dilution rates can vary, so reach out to our team for specific instructions and support. 

How long does ReduFuse last on the greenhouse cover?

This depends on the concentration applied and the weather. A higher concentration is more wear resistant, while above-average rainfall can wear the coating faster. It can be removed at any time with ReduClean for diffuse coatings. 

Can ReduFuse be layered with other coatings?

Yes. ReduFuse should always be applied first, as the base layer, with another ReduSystems coating such as ReduSol layered on top later if extra shading is needed. SprayChalk can also be added on top for short heat peaks. We advise against layering ReduFuse with non-ReduSystems products, since different cleaning methods can cause problems when it's time to remove the coatings. 

What is the difference between ReduFuse and ReduFuse IR?

ReduFuse diffuses light evenly without shading it. ReduFuse IR does the same, but also shades infrared heat. ReduFuse suits crops that need all the light they can get, while ReduFuse IR suits crops that also need some relief from heat.
