Sunburn protection

Protect your fruit crops from spoiling in the sun  

Our minerals provide natural protection for fruit ripening in the orchard or on the vine. Sunburn and heat stress can damage up to 40% of a typical crop of apples, grapes, pears, olives or plums. 

So we developed and formulated environmentally friendly mineral solutions that can be used to coat the fruit in a film that protects the crop from heat stress and disease.
