Eclipse F6

Eclipse F6 is a temporary greenhouse shading coating that protects crops against excess light and heat for 4 to 6 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 F6 lasts longer than Eclipse F2 and Eclipse F4. It is mainly used for ornamentals and leafy vegetables.

Eclipse F6 protects the whole season

Shading reduces stress and protects crops from excess light and heat, which improves productivity and quality. Eclipse F6 is a temporary coating that wears off over time.

It is mainly used to protect ornamentals and leaf or fruit vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers.

Eclipse F6 must be diluted with water before it is sprayed onto the greenhouse. It can be applied manually, by machine, by drone or by helicopter.

months of protection

Eclipse F6 delivers strong, reliable shading protection from the moment it is applied, then wears off gradually over the season and with the needs of the crop, to disappear completely after 4 to 6 months.

30-75%

adjustable shading

The dilution rate directly drives the shading rate. Three dilutions of Eclipse F6 give 30-35%, 50-55% or 70-75% shading, from light protection to heavy shading.

Product information

White shading coating, supplied in 20 kg buckets. Compatible with glass, polycarbonate and plastic film. For professional use only.

Dilution and application

Application is done manually, by machine, by drone or by helicopter. Eclipse F6 is diluted with clean water before spraying, for a total of 2,000 L of mix per hectare.

  • 10 buckets and 1,800 L of water gives 30-35% shading
  • 20 buckets and 1,700 L of water gives 50-55% shading
  • 30 buckets and 1,550 L of water gives 70-75% shading
Application conditions

We recommend applying Eclipse F6 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 F6 to a wet surface or when rain is forecast within 12 hours
Cleaning

Eclipse F6 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 F2 for the shortest duration, Eclipse F4 for a mid-length one. If needed, Eclipse F6 can be cleaned off with Eclipse Net.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Eclipse F-series?

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.

Which crops is Eclipse F6 used for?

Eclipse F6 mainly protects ornamentals and leafy vegetables. It is also used on fruit vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers.

How long does the shading last?

Eclipse F6 stays for 4 to 6 months, depending on rainfall and solar radiation. At the same shading level, Eclipse F2 lasts up to 2 months, and Eclipse F4 lasts 2 to 4 months.

How is the shading rate set?

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.

What types of greenhouse can it be applied to?

Eclipse F6 is applied on the outside of any greenhouse type, as well as on tunnels. The coating suits glass, polycarbonate and plastic film.

How is Eclipse F6 applied?

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.

How is Eclipse F6 cleaned off?

Eclipse F6 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 F6 is easily cleaned off with Eclipse Net.
