Eclipse LD

Eclipse LD is a long-lasting greenhouse shading coating that protects crops against excess light and heat. It is removed with Topclear, the Sudlac cleaner designed for that purpose.

The shading rate depends on the dilution, from 30% to 75%, and the coating goes onto any greenhouse type. It can be used in many situations, which makes it an essential product for horticulture worldwide. Eclipse LD is highly wear resistant and easy to remove with Topclear whenever needed.

Eclipse LD protects the whole season and comes off when needed

Shading reduces direct light, which improves productivity and quality by lowering stress and protecting crops from sunburn. Eclipse LD is a long-lasting coating that is cleaned off with Topclear whenever needed.

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

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

application for the whole season

Eclipse LD stands up to rain and sun until the moment of cleaning and covers the entire growing season with 1 single application.

30-75%

shading

The dilution rate directly drives the shading rate. Eclipse LD reaches three different shading rates, 30-35%, 50-55% or 70-75%, 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 LD is diluted with clean water before spraying, for a total of 2,000 L of mix per hectare.

  • 10 buckets and 1,850 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 LD 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 LD to a wet surface or when rain is forecast within 6 hours
Cleaning

Eclipse LD 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.

Frequently asked questions

What is Eclipse LD?

Eclipse LD is a long-lasting white shading coating for greenhouses that reduces light and heat from the sun. The grower adjusts the number of buckets to reach the shading rate wanted. The amount of liquid, water and product, is adapted to the application method as well. Eclipse LD is cleaned off whenever needed with Topclear, the cleaner developed for this coating.

Which crops is Eclipse LD used for?

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

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, with 10, 20 or 30 buckets 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 LD 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 LD 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 LD cleaned off?

Eclipse LD 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, on a dry roof.
