REMOVABLE PROTECTION FROM HEAT WHILE MAINTAINING GROW-LIGHT

Transpar® is a removable shading agent based on a special pigment that reflects heat radiation very efficiently, while maintaining high grow-light levels. Transpar diffuses incoming light which is beneficial in optimizing the greenhouse climate. It is very wear resistant and can be applied on the outside of all standard greenhouses. Transpar is easily removed with Topclear at the end of the season.

  Minimum light shading, maximum heat shading
  High diffusion rate
  Applicable to all types of greenhouses
  Very wear resistant
  Removable with Topclear

Why Transpar

Transpar contains a special ingredient that reflects heat radiation (NIR), but largely allows growing light (PAR) to pass through and diffuses it throughout the greenhouse. As a result, Transpar provides for highly efficient heat reduction, without shading too much growing light. Blocking heat radiation results in a more moderate crop temperature and consequently in better quality and higher production. More growing light means increased photosynthesis and therefore more energy for plant growth, fruit production and flower quality. Transpar is primarily used in vegetable growing areas with a moderate climate, such as France, Italy and Australia.

Usage

Transpar needs to be diluted with water before spraying it onto the greenhouse. Depending on the application method, type of greenhouse and climate, more or less water and buckets should be used to achieve the best result. Transpar can be applied manually, by machine and by helicopter. See How to use for more detailed information about applications and dosage.

How can it be removed?

Transpar is removable with Topclear at every desired moment. Apply Topclear in the advised amount and dilution maximum 3 days before rainfall. Read the complete instructions on how to use Topclear.
