Mardenkro ReduHeat Shading Coating - 15kg Pail

Reflect Heat, Transmit Growth Light - Mardenkro ReduHeat Shading Coating, 15kg

Mardenkro ReduHeat Shading Coating takes a smarter approach to greenhouse temperature management. Unlike conventional shading agents that indiscriminately reduce all light transmission, ReduHeat contains a special pigment engineered to transmit photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) - the wavelengths plants need for growth - while increasing the reflection of near-infrared radiation (NIR), which is the primary source of solar heat buildup in greenhouses. The result is a more comfortable growing climate with less heat stress, without sacrificing the light intensity that drives plant development. The adjustable shading effect gives growers greater control over their greenhouse microclimate. Removable with ReduClean.

Key Features & Benefits

• Transmits PAR, Reflects NIR: The core innovation of ReduHeat - its special pigment passes photosynthetically active radiation to plants while reflecting near-infrared heat radiation away from the greenhouse, providing targeted heat reduction without compromising light for growth.
• Adjustable Shading Effect: Application concentration and technique can be adjusted to fine-tune the level of heat reflection and light transmission for different crops, climates, and seasonal conditions.
• Reduced Heat Stress Without Light Loss: Unlike standard white shade coatings that reduce all wavelengths equally, ReduHeat reduces the heat load while maintaining the light quality and intensity that plants depend on.
• Removable with ReduClean: When the season or conditions change, ReduHeat can be removed cleanly using Mardenkro's ReduClean product, allowing full flexibility to adjust shading throughout the year.
• 15kg Pail: Practical bulk quantity suitable for medium to large commercial greenhouse operations with significant glazing area to treat.

Who Should Use This

ReduHeat is the right choice for commercial greenhouse growers who want to reduce heat stress in their growing environment without sacrificing photosynthetically active light. It is particularly valuable for high-light crops where maintaining strong light intensity is critical for quality and yield, and for operations in high-solar-radiation climates where conventional shading would unacceptably reduce light levels.

Compatibility

ReduHeat is compatible with standard greenhouse glazing surfaces. Follow Mardenkro's application guidelines for dilution, coverage rate, and application method. For removal, use Mardenkro ReduClean (sold separately) according to manufacturer instructions. Consult the product technical data sheet for full compatibility, application rate, and safety information before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is ReduHeat different from standard white shade coatings?

Standard shade coatings reduce all light wavelengths proportionally, including the PAR that plants need for growth. ReduHeat's special pigment specifically targets near-infrared radiation (the primary source of greenhouse heat) for reflection while transmitting a higher proportion of PAR to plants - a fundamentally different approach that reduces heat without proportionally reducing plant-available light.

Can I control how much shading ReduHeat provides?

Yes. ReduHeat offers an adjustable shading effect - you can modify the application rate and concentration to achieve the desired balance of heat reflection and light transmission for your specific crop and climate conditions.

How do I remove ReduHeat at the end of the season?

ReduHeat is designed to be removed using Mardenkro ReduClean, which is sold separately. ReduClean dissolves and loosens the coating for easy removal from glazing surfaces. Follow Mardenkro's removal guidelines for best results.

What greenhouse glazing types is ReduHeat compatible with?

ReduHeat is designed for use on standard greenhouse glazing. Consult the Mardenkro technical data sheet or your greenhouse supplier for specific compatibility with your glazing material before application, particularly for specialty or coated glazing products.
