LUMITE HORTICULTURAL SHADE CLOTHS 
Lumite Horticultural Shade Cloths are woven of Dow Chemical Company's 
Saran, a plastic which is chemically inerte lLumite will not rust or 
corrode and is unaffected by moisture. Its tensile strength is apprar=- 
imately 0,000 lbs. per square inch. 
For years balanced light has been a major problem of growerse Iamite 
Horticultural Shade Cloths, because of their construction, provide proper 
shade while allowing the beneficial rays of the sun to penetrate. Iumite 
has been under development for a long period to time ad has been extensively 
tested in both the laboratory and in generel use under varied growing and 
Climatic conditions. 
ADVANTAGES OF LUMITE SHADING 
Provides proper shade with a known constant light transmission while 
allowing the beneficial rays of the sun to penetrate. 
Lower summer temperatures due to heat reflective properties. 
Aids in providing stronger plants with an increase in flowers of 
better quality. 
Easily erected over glass ~ fasten to sash bars or install as 
roller shadese 
Will not support combustion and does not deteriorate in summer heat 
or winter colde

square feet in either color. 
In ordering, please specify either total amount of square feet or total 
lineal feet of desired widths. When quantities of less than 100 lineal foot
