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.

Flexible application

Applied by drone, machine, helicopter or by hand, so growers can use the equipment they already have.

All greenhouse types

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

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.

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.

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.

ReduClean for diffuse coatings

Removes ReduFuse at the end of the season, so the greenhouse is ready for the next one.

SprayChalk

Adds a temporary top-up layer during short, extreme heat peaks, without disturbing the coating underneath.

ReduSol

Can be layered on top later in the season for extra shading, since ReduSol always goes on top when combined.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
