Eclipse F2
Eclipse F2 is a temporary greenhouse shading coating that protects crops against excess light and heat for up to 2 months. It wears off gradually over the season and therefore needs no cleaning.
The shading rate, from 30% to 75%, is chosen at the dilution stage, and the coating goes onto any greenhouse type. Within the Sudlac F-series, Eclipse F2 lasts for a shorter time than Eclipse F4 and Eclipse F6. It is mainly used for ornamentals and leafy vegetables.
Eclipse F2 protects the crucial weeks of the season
Shading reduces stress and protects crops from excess light and heat, which improves productivity and quality. Eclipse F2 is a temporary coating that wears off over time.
It is mainly used to protect ornamentals and leafy vegetables.
Eclipse F2 must be diluted with water before it is sprayed onto the greenhouse. It can be applied manually, by machine, by drone or by helicopter.
of protection
Eclipse F2 delivers strong, reliable shading protection in the first weeks, then wears off gradually over the season and with the needs of the crop, to disappear completely after about 2 months.
adjustable shading
The dilution rate directly drives the shading rate. Three dilutions of Eclipse F2 give 30-35%, 50-55% or 70-75% shading, from light protection to heavy shading.
cleaning
Eclipse F2 wears off gradually over the season and requires no cleaning.
White shading coating, supplied in 15 kg buckets. Compatible with glass, acrylate, polycarbonate and plastic film. For professional use only.
Application is done manually, by machine, by drone or by helicopter. Eclipse F2 is diluted with clean water before spraying, for a total of 2,000 L of mix per hectare.
- 13 buckets and 1,800 L of water gives 30-35% shading
- 27 buckets and 1,700 L of water gives 50-55% shading
- 40 buckets and 1,550 L of water gives 70-75% shading
We recommend applying Eclipse F2 in the following conditions:
- An outside temperature between 5 and 30 °C
- A wind speed below 2 m/s (7 km/h)
- For fast drying: relative humidity (RH) < 80%
- Do not apply Eclipse F2 to a wet surface or when rain is forecast within 12 hours
Eclipse F2 wears off gradually over the season and calls for no cleaning at the end of the season. The roof recovers its light transmission when the crop needs all available light. The duration of the product is customizable: Eclipse F4 for a longer duration, Eclipse F6 for the longest one. If needed, Eclipse F2 can be cleaned off with Eclipse Net.

Frequently asked questions
Sudlac's long-standing range and the result of years of development and optimisation, Eclipse F2, F4 and F6 are three shading coatings for greenhouses and tunnels, offering the same quality of protection over different durations. Growers therefore pick the protection time they want without having to clean the coating off at the end of the season.
Eclipse F2 mainly protects ornamentals and leafy vegetables.
Eclipse F2 stays for up to 2 months, depending on rainfall and solar radiation. For a different duration at the same shading level, Eclipse F4 covers 2 to 4 months and Eclipse F6 covers 4 to 6 months.
The shading rate is set at dilution, before spraying. Three reference dilutions cover 30-35%, 50-55% and 70-75% shading, for 2,000 L of liquid per hectare. The spraying liquid is prepared with clean water: 1,000 to 1,500 litres per 10,000 m² for machine application, 1,700 to 2,000 litres per 10,000 m² for manual application.
Eclipse F2 is applied on the outside of any greenhouse type, as well as on tunnels. The coating suits glass, acrylate, polycarbonate and plastic film.
Application is done manually, by machine, by drone or by helicopter, on a clean and dry roof. The dilution rate and the sprayed volume are adjusted to the chosen method, the greenhouse type and the climate.
Eclipse F2 wears off gradually over the season, depending on weather conditions. It therefore needs no cleaning at the end of the season. Should removal become urgent, Eclipse F2 is easily cleaned off with Eclipse Net.
