Alsta Agriculture Hydrogel Polymer is a polyacrylate-based super absorbent polymer for use as a water-retaining agent in drought-prone areas. Non-toxic, bio-degradable with no residues around, and operational life of over five years.
This polymer has a super absorbent capacity and swells quickly to a larger degree. It absorbs aqueous solutions and soluble plant nutrients with the help of hydrogen bonds of water molecules. It absorbs water up to 400 - 500 times its own weight and releases water during the dry condition, influencing soil permeability, texture, and evaporation rate. Superabsorbent Polymers are also used in many other industries like the cable industry, food industry, and the green industry including agriculture, horticulture, landscaping, and forestry activities.
