OPTIMAL USE OF SUNLIGHT ALL YEAR ROUND

YEAR-ROUND SYSTEM Top quality is what guides us, in our products, every season for optimal use of sunlight SHARING KNOWLEDGE We share our knowledge about products, application and practical experience We are continuously working on innovation, also in relation to existing products Apply, combine and remove coatings ENVIRONMENTALLY AWARE We are committed to become a fully sustainable business

AN OPTIMAL CLIMATE IN ALL SEASONS Not long ago, coating the greenhouse cover meant keeping light out. Mardenkro, the manufacturer of ReduSystems, started by improving traditional chalk. The arrival of ReduSol was a huge step forward in greenhouse cultivation. For the first time, there was a coating that provided shade in a controlled manner, was wear-resistant but also easy to remove. ReduSol marked the start of a series of innovative products, always based on the latest scientific research. SOLUTIONS FOR ALL SEASONS Initially, we developed all the products as an independent solution. But gradually,...

Photosynthetic Response Cure CONTROLLING WITH LIGHT The trajectory of PAR light is almost identical to that of visible light. But while our eyes are very sensitive to certain colours, the plant uses the entire spectrum. The McCree curve shows the photosynthesis efficiency for the colours. There are peaks in red and blue, but the whole spectrum is important. Photosynthesis efficiency THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RIGHT GREENHOUSE CLIMATE McCree Curve Sunlight is packed with energy. The plant called PAR light (Photosynthetic Active Radiation). In addition, the individual light colours all influence the...

YEAR-ROUND SYSTEM IMPROVES GREENHOUSE CLIMATE ReduSystems is the global leading brand in developing coatings and cleaners for greenhouse cultivation. The products control the incidence of natural light and heat to optimise the climate for the crop in every season - from a cooler climate in summer and more light in winter, to diffuse light and changing the light spectrum. SHADING Shading agents reduce the temperature in the greenhouse by reflecting light and/or heat. DIFFUSION Diffuse coatings scatter the sunlight while maintaining a high light level. SPECIALTIES Specialties are intended for specific...

Shading agents reduce the temperature in the greenhouse by reflecting light and/or heat. They are a good way to improve the greenhouse climate if there is too much light or heat for the crop. The choice of agent depends on the crop requirements and the local climate. REDUCING THE GREENHOUSE TEMPERATURE

SHADING ACCORDING TO NEED Every shading agent has its own strong features. The agent that best suits your situation mainly depends on the crop and sometimes the variety. ReduSol provides shade from some of the sunlight across the whole spectrum. However, if the crop is suffering from heat, but it could still convert light into production, ReduHeat is a better choice. This coating shades the plants from infrared light, which warms up the plants, and lets more grow light through. The extent of shading depends on the number of buckets of product applied. REDUSOL REDUHEAT / SHADING AGENTS LOWER THE...

A diffuse coating ensures that the light is distributed better in the greenhouse, both horizontally and vertically. There are no more light and dark areas. Due to the evenness of the light, the crop experiences less stress and grows better. In addition, the light penetrates deeper into the crop. UNIFORM LIGHT LEVEL IS BEST FOR THE CROP

Redufuse laat meer licht door dan Rfir. Dus meer gele pijlen RF. 2 rode pijl RF IR door kasdek. BETTER PHOTOSYNTHESIS A diffuse coating distributes the incoming light. This leads to the top of the crop getting a bit less light, the middle leaves more. Net photosynthesis therefore increases, which leads to potentially more production. When the light levels are high, the top leaves are nearly at their maximum growth potential, more light would not make much difference. However, the leaves further down in the crop become much more active if they get a bit more light. Light Light DIFFUSE COATINGS...

ReduFlex coatings change the ratio of light colours within the PAR section. This makes it possible to control the plant’s growth. ReduFlex Blue is the first practical application in this series. This ensures more stem length for roses. LIGHT COLOUR CONTROLS SHAPE AND DEVELOPMENT

As the graph shows, the transmission of UV and infrared is also reduced. The first prevents damage like the blackening of rosebuds. The latter inhibits excessive warming, similar to ReduHeat. CONTROLLING WITH LIGHT COLOUR ReduFlex Blue partially reflects the blue light. As a result, the ratio between the light colours changes. With certain crops that are sensitive to this it increases stem length. This is often much desired for cut flowers like roses. SPECIALTIES ARE INTENDED FOR SPECIFIC CROPS OR CONTROL PURPOSES ReduFlex is the basis for photo-selective coatings. Added pigments can reduce any...

During a certain part of the year, light is the limiting factor for production. More light in the greenhouse is therefore very welcome. Transmission coatings ensure that more light enters the greenhouse. It increases production, improves product quality and reduces problems with diseases. They can be combined with other ReduSystems coatings.

TRANSMISSION COATINGS INCREASE THE LIGHT LEVEL IN THE GREENHOUSE OPTIMAL LIGHT IN THE GREENHOUSE During the dark season, you want as much light as possible in the greenhouse. The light incidence can be improved on both the outside of the greenhouse cover and the inside. A certain percentage of the sunlight is always reflected by the greenhouse cover. AntiReflect reduces that reflection so that more light reaches the crop. That boosts production and reduces energy consumption. In addition, the inside of the glass is often wet through condensation. Big drops prevent light from entering by 8% in...

During a part of the year, you want to protect the crop from excess light. But in other seasons, more light is needed. Reflection coatings are among the coatings that ensure that more light reaches the crop.
