• Maximum protection
• Q-Black has an adjustable shading percentage

But not only plants profit from the maximum heat reduction Q-Black offers. Just like plants we humans also do not like to work in too hot conditions. When working in certain workspaces, such as sheds, caravan storages, processing rooms or warehouses a pleasant climate is also desirable as temperatures rise in the hot summer months. Too high temperatures in a packing or storage hall are not only detrimental to the quality and shelf life of fresh products, but also have a negative effect on productivity and overall satisfaction of employees. Too high temperatures in water storage rooms evaporate irrigation water with costly fertilizers. In all these cases Q-Black could be deployed when maximum shading against sunlight and heat is desired. In this way a pleasant working climate for plant, product and personnel can easily be created.

Q-Black is a highly effective adjustable shading agent that provides maximum protection for crops and areas where shade is needed. Its unique composition provides high heat reduction and maximum protection, making it an ideal choice for those who want to create a stable climate for their plants and/or workers. Q-black offers many advantage, such as maximum protection, very easy to remove and minimal wear off.

The special composition of Q-Black ensures a very high heat reduction and a maximum protection. In its highest dose Q-Black will shade almost up to 90% of incoming sunlight and thus heat.

Another main benefit of Q-black is that it has an adjustable shading percentage, allowing users to easily control the amount of light and heat entering the greenhouse. In addition, with the option to apply the product manually or by machine, it is suitable for a variety of applications.

Q-Black is specially designed to minimize wear and tear, which is particularly important when shading the top of a greenhouse. Sunlight actually shines on the roof from early morning until late at night, making it more vulnerable to damage as time passes. User experience has shown that wear and tear on the top of the roof is minimal when using Q-Black.

Q-Black does not contain any components that are harmful to the environment. This makes it an environmentally friendly choice for those who want to try to minimize their impact on the planet.

In terms of usage, Q-Black is very easy to apply. It is possible to apply Q-black manually or by a machine. The amount of spray required depends on the application method, but users can typically expect 1,200-1,400 gallons per acre when using a machine, and 1,500-1,700 gallons per acre when applied manually.

Last but not least, one of the best features of Q-black is that is can be easily removed from the greenhouse, when no longer needed. When you apply Removit in the correct dosage, the rain will clean the greenhouse, or it can be washed away manually when there is not rain predicted for a longer period of time. Making it a flexible and convenient choice for those who want to maintain a stable and protected environment for their crops and greenhouse.

What are the differences between shading agents & coatings?
Shading agents reduce the temperature inside the greenhouse by partially reflecting sunlight. Diffuse coatings are intended to let through as much light as possible. 

What is the difference between Q3 and Q4 White?
Actually, there is one difference between Q3 and Q4 White, their weather resistance and thus the lifespan. This difference results in clear difference in the application, effort and price of both products.

Shading Paint to improve greenhouse climate
The climate inside the greenhouse is very important. Not all crops can withstand high temperatures and full sunlight. Shading and diffuse coatings are the solution to this problem. By reflecting or diffusing sunlight, they ensure that the crop is not damaged by excessive light intensity.
