Product Information

The science

Revolutionary Polymer Integration

Our SmartSoil Hydrogel is distinguished by its unique integration of essential nutrients directly into the polymer’s molecular structure.

Unlike conventional hydrogels, the SmartSoil Hydrogel incorporates these nutrients into the polymer’s molecular structure.

SMART SPONGE

This integration enables the polymer to function like a “smart sponge,” retaining nutrients in the topsoil and making them readily available for plant uptake.

What Makes Us Special

Our differentiating factor is the polymer’s molecular architecture. The polymer’s molecular architecture constantly seeks out and holds these nutrients, ensuring optimal plant development while minimizing nutrient loss to runoff or leaching.

Stimuli-Responsive Hydrogels

Intelligent Water Management

The core of our hydrogel technology lies in its stimuli-responsive nature. Comprised of a three-dimensional network of hydrophilic polymers, the SmartSoil Hydrogel intelligently responds to environmental changes.

This “smart” behavior allows the hydrogel to swell and shrink in response to fluctuations in soil moisture and temperature, optimizing water retention and release without causing the ground to swell or disrupt the soil structure.

Advanced Physicochemical Properties

Physicochemical Properties

Our hydrogel boasts sophisticated physicochemical properties that enhance its functionality:

Three-Phase Structure

The hydrogel operates through absorption mechanisms, a retention state, and a targeted delivery system. This structure allows for efficient water uptake, prolonged retention, and precise nutrient delivery to plant roots.

Size and Capacity

With particle sizes exceeding 2 microns, the hydrogel effectively manages water distribution within the soil matrix. Its water retention capacity ensures that even minimal irrigation efforts can sustain healthy vegetation.

Minimal Water Loss

The system retains water with a retention capacity of less than 0.00551 inches, ensuring that plants have access to moisture over extended periods.

Soil Conservation and Health

The SmartSoil Hydrogel plays a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing soil quality. By preventing nutrient runoff, erosion, and soil compaction, our hydrogel helps maintain soil structure and fertility.

It mitigates issues such as acidification, salinization, and chemical contamination, ensuring a balanced pH level even in hard water conditions with high salt content.

Additionally, the stable aggregate formation promotes optimal water movement and soil stabilization, fostering a healthy environment for plant roots to thrive.

Water Conservation

Maximizing Efficiency

Our hydrogel significantly reduces the need for irrigation by 50%, allowing for a dramatic decrease in water consumption. The SmartSoil Hydrogel stores water molecules beyond its own mass and releases them based on the soil’s moisture levels.

Irrigation approach

This smart irrigation approach not only conserves water but also optimizes its usage, ensuring that plants receive the right amount of moisture without over-watering.

Enhanced
Vegetation Support

The integration of nutrients within the hydrogel enhances both plant and root development. The bio-adhesive properties ensure a steady and reliable delivery of water and nutrients directly to the roots, promoting vigorous growth and resilience.

Eco-Friendly Composition

Our SmartSoil Hydrogel is environmentally responsible, with a composition that includes:

meticulously formulated

These components are meticulously formulated to mimic the trace elements found in groundwater, soil, sediment, and solid waste, ensuring compatibility and effectiveness in various soil types.

The science

Commitment to Sustainability

Registered with the EPA under CAS# 9003-06-9, our hydrogel is 100% biodegradable and non-toxic, affirming our dedication to environmental stewardship.

Third-party testing confirms that our product has zero negative environmental impact, making it a safe and sustainable choice for water conservation and soil management.

Seamless Integration and application

The SmartSoil Hydrogel is designed for ease of use, requiring only a one-time application through simple overhead soil surface spraying.

There is no need for a wetting phase or injection, and the hydrogel is watered in for just 10-15 minutes. One application lasts for five years, providing long-term benefits with minimal effort.

The Science

Optimizing Irrigation Schedules

Post-application, irrigation schedules can be gradually decreased based on actual soil moisture levels, preventing over-watering and ensuring efficient water use. Irrigation schedule remains the same during the first week and is automatically reduced by 50% during the second week.
