Product Type
Micronized calcium carbonate and silicon crop solar protector
PROTECT SUN FLOW
Micronized calcium carbonate and silicon solar protector for crops, helping reduce sunburn, UV exposure, thermal stress and fruit temperature.
PROTECT SUN FLOW is a liquid solar protector based on micronized calcium carbonate and silicon, designed to protect plants and fruits during crop growth and periods of intense solar radiation.
After foliar application, the formulation creates a homogeneous protective film that reduces radiation absorption and increases light diffusion. The resulting physical protection helps reduce sunburn damage and thermal stress while supporting fruit quality and post-harvest performance.

Key benefits and agronomic effects
- Helps reduce plant and fruit temperature by approximately 3-4 °C.
- Reduces damage caused by sunburn.
- Supports protection from UV radiation and thermal stress.
- Supports crops under water-stress conditions.
- Supports fruit colour and post-harvest quality.

How it works / Technical advantages
PROTECT SUN FLOW forms a homogeneous reflective film on plant and fruit surfaces. This film reduces radiation absorption and increases light diffusion, helping limit direct UV impact and excessive heat load.
The formulation is based on micronized calcium carbonate and includes silicon. The declared composition is 34% calcium component and 5% silicon component, with a pH of 7-8 in a 1% solution.
Application rates and timing
Application Guidance: Apply preventively during crop growth before or during periods of strong solar radiation, thermal stress and sunburn risk. Use the crop-specific rates and water volumes below. Depending on the crop, the documented programme uses 2-3 applications per season. Shake before use.
