Rubcoat’s gas-tight coatings provide optimal protection for your storage cells. Our coatings are suitable for both cell coating renovation and new cell construction. In flower bulb cultivation, it is essential that storage cells are sealed airtight to eliminate harmful influences, such as bulb mites. Bulb mites, in particular, pose a significant risk for tulips.
Our coatings create an impermeable barrier that keeps gases and pests out. Our solutions are fully tailored to the needs of the flower bulb industry, providing reliable protection that secures both product quality and your operations.
ULO, or Ultra Low Oxygen, is a preservation technique that is increasingly being applied in flower bulb cultivation. During a ULO treatment, the oxygen levels in storage cells are reduced to an extremely low percentage, often less than 1%. This process slows down the respiration of the bulbs and prevents the growth of fungi, bacteria, and pests.
The result is a longer storage period and better quality of the bulbs at delivery. However, the effectiveness of a ULO treatment heavily depends on the gas-tightness of the storage cells. Rubcoat is your supplier and installer of gas-tight coatings that enable a stable atmosphere.
Oxygen-free storage cells are key to successful storage in flower bulb cultivation. Our coatings are applied in multiple layers, including an adhesive layer, a gas-tight barrier layer, and a wear-resistant protective layer. This multi-layer system ensures optimal sealing and long-lasting durability.
In addition to the application of our coatings, it is important that all components of the storage cells, such as doors, inspection hatches, conduits, and panel seams, are thoroughly checked for gas-tightness. These components play a critical role in maintaining an oxygen-free environment and should be carefully inspected and adjusted if necessary. Our specialists work with you to evaluate the entire cell and ensure a gas-tight system. This guarantees optimal storage conditions for your flower bulbs.
