Sun Clear – 1 Quart

Sun Clear is a non-toxic, sprayable coating that converts the normal hydrophobic surface of all plastics, glass and metals to a permanent hydrophilic condition. Dripping, which can promote fungus diseases such as Botrytis, is eliminated from the roof of the greenhouses and other structures. Up to 50% more light is transmitted through the treated surface. When Sun Clear is applied properly, it could last 2-5 years, or more. No special treatment of the surface is required; for new plastic allow the greenhouse to sweat for about 2 weeks before applying.

Spray the Sun Clear mixture forcefully on the plastic. Work from the bottom up until the entire surface is thoroughly wetted and all drops disappear. If any spots are missed, they may be treated later at any time.

The application of Sun Clear to the new multi-year plastics can often be improved if the dilution ration of water to Sun Clear is tried first at about 50:1.  A dilution ration of 100:1 may still work with some plastics.

After applying Sun Clear the surface should be allowed to dry as much as possible by opening vents, turning on fans, and temporarily turning up thermostats.
