Shading agents

Applied to greenhouse roofs, these coatings influence light and climate in greenhouses in order to protect and optimise crops.

Shading coatings are essential for greenhouse growers, helping to manage light and heat levels to create the ideal environment for crop growth. These coatings are applied to the exterior of greenhouses to reduce excessive sunlight and heat, protecting plants and improving yields. Sudlac offers two distinct options:

Temporary Shading Coatings

Designed to wear off naturally over time, these coatings provide reliable protection during the growing season without the need for removal.

Removable Shading Coatings

These coatings deliver consistent shading and heat reduction throughout the season and can be easily removed with Sudlac's Topclear cleaning product, giving growers greater flexibility and control.

Explore our range of Temporary Shading Coatings and Removable Shading Coatings to find the perfect solution for your greenhouse needs.

Understanding how shading agents affect sunlight

The most important concepts to help you understand how shading agents influence the incidence of sunlight are listed below:

PAR Light (Photosynthesis)

Plants use PAR light (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) for photosynthesis.

NIR Light (HEAT)

NIR light (Near-infrared) is felt as heat. Plants do not use NIR light for photosynthesis.

UV Light (Ultraviolet)

UV light regulates plant growth and can be useful in preventing fungal diseases.
