Protection for crop and greenhouse
Sudlac offers a series of reliable and effective products that protect crops against excessive sunlight to the maximum.
Protection against the sun
Sudlac products reduce direct sunlight radiation. This reduces the stress experienced by plants and prevents sunburn, which benefits yield and quality.
Temporary and removable shading agents
The Sudlac shading coatings are very user friendly and gradually wear off as the season progresses. These agents are applied to the greenhouse cover at the beginning of the season. The protection provided by the various coatings lasts 2, 4 or 6 months. Depending on the crop’s needs and the local weather conditions, the grower chooses a product that provides protection for a shorter or longer period. Removing the coating is not necessary as it wears off by itself.
In addition, a series of removable coatings is also available. These coatings are focused on maximum protection from the sunlight and offer stable protection through their entire service life. The grower determines when to remove the shading agent from the greenhouse cover using Topclear.
Biobased and biodegradable temporary coatings
For more than 60 years, Sudlac has developed shading solutions that help growers adapt to changing light and climate conditions. Today, that same spirit of innovation drives us further, not only in performance, but also in the way our products are conceived and formulated.
With Canope F4, we take a new step in this evolution. The product is based on a binder derived from corn starch, using renewable raw materials as part of its composition. Designed as a biobased and biodegradable coating, it represents another step in our sustainability journey, with renewable materials integrated directly into its formulation. It is composed of more than 85% naturally derived organic materials. Its biodegradability means that, once applied and weathered over time, the coating naturally breaks down through biological processes without leaving persistent residues.
This approach reflects our ambition to move toward greater circularity, developing coatings whose raw materials originate from nature and are thoughtfully designed to reintegrate responsibly into natural cycles.
Canope F4 provides reliable temporary protection against excess light and heat for up to four months. By improving climate control inside the greenhouse, it supports crop performance and helps reduce unnecessary irrigation, offering benefits to both conventional and organic growers while aligning with increasing sustainability expectations.
Through advanced formulation and continuous R&D investment, Sudlac continues to combine technical expertise, climate adaptation and sustainable innovation.

Applying a coating
The shading coatings from Sudlac can be applied and removed in various easy and responsible ways. In general, applications only take place during dry weather circumstances and when no precipitation is expected during the drying process. Coatings are applied to the greenhouse cover manually, mechanically, or by helicopter. Mix the coating with the desired amount of clean water prior to applying it to the greenhouse surface with the appropriate spray equipment.
