PROTECT SUN FLOW
Micronized Calcium Carbonate Liquid Sunscreen for Crop and Fruit Protection
PROTECT SUN FLOW is a liquid agricultural sunscreen designed to create a homogeneous protective film over leaves and fruits. This film provides indirect protection against sunburn by reducing excessive radiation absorption and increasing light diffusion across the plant surface.
Its formulation combines micronized calcium carbonate with silicon, offering a physical barrier effect that helps reduce plant and fruit temperature under high radiation conditions. By limiting heat stress and sunburn damage, PROTECT SUN FLOW contributes to better crop appearance, improved post-harvest quality and greater commercial value.
The product is especially recommended during periods of high sunlight intensity, elevated temperatures and water stress risk, particularly in fruiting crops exposed to direct sun.

Multi-Benefits
PROTECT SUN FLOW offers a multi-functional approach for crops exposed to high radiation and heat stress. Its main purpose is to reduce sunburn incidence, but its benefits extend to fruit quality, water stress management and post-harvest performance.
By forming a uniform reflective film, the product helps reduce the temperature of plants and fruits by approximately 3–4 °C, lowering the risk of physiological damage caused by excessive solar radiation.
Key Benefits
PROTECT SUN FLOW helps to:
- Reduce temperature in plants and fruits by 3–4 °C.
- Reduce damage caused by sunburn.
- Improve post-harvest quality.
- Protect crops against water stress.
- Enhance fruit colour.
- Extend post-harvest life.
- Help reduce mildew and oidium pressure.
- Be easily removed in post-harvest handling.
Technical Advantages
PROTECT SUN FLOW is designed for professional crop programs where fruit quality and marketability are critical.
Its technical advantages include:
- Micronized formulation: supports uniform distribution on plant and fruit surfaces.
- Reflective protective film: helps reduce UV impact and excessive heat absorption.
- Calcium carbonate base: provides physical protection against direct solar radiation.
- Silicon contribution: supports crop resilience under abiotic stress conditions.
- Neutral pH range: pH 7–8 in 1% solution.
- Foliar and soil application flexibility: suitable for different crop management strategies.
- Post-harvest removability: designed for easy removal after harvest.

Main features:
- Liquid solar protector.
- Based on micronized calcium carbonate.
- Enriched with silicon.
- Creates a homogeneous protective film.
- Helps protect plant tissues and fruit surfaces.
- Reduces direct UV impact.
- Increases light diffusion.
- Suitable for foliar and soil use.
- Designed for professional crop programs.

Storage and handling:
Avoid contact with eyes, food or drinks. Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, seek medical advice. Do not store in direct sunlight. Store between 5 °C and 35 °C.
Recommended Crops and Timing of Application
PROTECT SUN FLOW is especially recommended for fruit and vegetable crops exposed to direct solar radiation, high temperature periods and sunburn risk.
Recommended crops include:
- Apples
- Citrus
- Tomatoes
- Melons
- Watermelons
- Grapes
- Pomegranate
- Avocado
Best timing of application:
Apply before peak sunburn risk periods, especially during fruit growth, colour development and ripening. In areas with recurrent heat waves or high solar radiation, begin applications preventively and repeat according to crop needs and label recommendations.
For fruit crops, applications are particularly useful when fruits are exposed after pruning, defoliation, canopy opening or during stages of rapid fruit enlargement. For vegetables and cucurbits, use during periods of intense radiation and high temperature to protect exposed plant tissues and fruits.
