Mardenkro ReduHeat Shading Coating - 15kg Pail

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

ReduHeat Shading Coating, from ReduSystems (a Lumiforte brand, formerly marketed under the Mardenkro name), 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), 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. 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.
• Adjustable Shading Effect: Application concentration and technique can be adjusted to fine-tune 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 heat load while maintaining plant-available light quality and intensity.
• Removable with ReduClean: When the season or conditions change, ReduHeat can be removed cleanly using ReduSystems' ReduClean product.
• 15kg Pail: Practical bulk quantity 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 without sacrificing photosynthetically active light. Particularly valuable for high-light crops where maintaining strong light intensity is critical, and for operations in high-solar-radiation climates.

Compatibility

Compatible with standard greenhouse glazing surfaces. Follow application guidelines for dilution, coverage rate, and method. For removal, use ReduClean (sold separately). Consult the product technical data sheet for full compatibility and safety information.

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 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 ReduClean, sold separately. ReduClean dissolves and loosens the coating for easy removal from glazing surfaces. Follow the manufacturer'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 technical data sheet or your greenhouse supplier for specific compatibility with your glazing material, particularly for specialty or coated glazing products.
