Eclipse LD²

Eclipse LD² is a long-lasting grey shading coating for greenhouses, developed specifically for the most sun-sensitive crops. It is cleaned off with Topclear, the Sudlac cleaner designed for that purpose.

Eclipse LD² reaches and holds a high shading rate in a very stable way. It goes onto any greenhouse type. The coating regulates light intensity firmly, so as to optimise the greenhouse climate for the most sensitive plants. It is highly wear resistant and comes off with Topclear whenever needed.

Eclipse LD² protects the most sun-sensitive crops

Some crops such as lamb's lettuce are very sensitive to the sun and need protection from excess light and direct radiation. Eclipse LD² blocks direct sunlight, lowers the temperature and creates a more favourable climate inside the greenhouse. By holding a high shading rate, it allows growing in drier soil conditions, which limits the development of diseases such as Thielaviopsis and improves productivity.

Eclipse LD² must be diluted with water before it is sprayed onto the greenhouse. It can be applied manually, by machine, by drone or by helicopter. It works on every greenhouse type.

55-60%

shading from the first application

Eclipse LD² reaches, from the very first application and with only 15 buckets per hectare, a shading rate of 55-60%.

65-70%

shading after a second application

A second application of Eclipse LD² before the hot season brings the shading rate up to 65-70%.

Product information

Grey 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 LD² is diluted with clean water before spraying, for a total of 2,000 L of mix per hectare.

  • 15 buckets and 1,785 L of water gives 60% shading at the first application
  • 15 buckets and 1,785 L of water bring the rate to 70% at the second application
Application conditions

We recommend applying Eclipse LD² in the following conditions:

  • An outside temperature between 10 and 30 °C
  • A wind speed below 2 m/s (7 km/h)
  • For fast drying: relative humidity (RH) < 80%
  • Do not apply Eclipse LD² to a wet surface or when rain is forecast within 6 hours
Cleaning

Eclipse LD² is cleaned off with Topclear, at the moment the grower chooses. Cleaning calls for at least 240 L of Topclear per hectare, diluted in 1,260 to 1,760 L of water, depending on the application method. Topclear is applied when substantial rain is forecast within the week, as the rain washes the layer away. It goes neither onto a wet surface nor during rain.

Eclipse LD² is meant for the most sun-sensitive crops, such as lamb's lettuce. It suits productions that call for a high shading rate held over time.

How is the shading rate chosen?

The shading rate is chosen through the number of applications. A first application of 15 buckets per hectare gives 60% shading, a second one brings the rate to 70%.

What types of greenhouse can it be applied to?

Eclipse LD² 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 LD² 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.
