AquaLoc is a water retainer that, when incorporated into a soil or a substrate, absorbs and retains large quantities of water and nutrients.

AquaLoc:

• Increases the Water Holding Capacity of soils for several years. Irrigation frequency may be reduced by 50%.
• Limits losses of water and nutrients due to leaching.
• Reduces evaporation from the soil.
• Improves the physical properties of compact soils through good aeration.
• Enhances plant growth. Water and nutrients are continuously available in the root zone for optimal absorption by plants.
• Protects the environment against drought

How It Works

The polymer consists of a set of polymeric chains that are parallel to each other and regularly linked to each other by cross linking agents, thus forming a network. When water comes into contact with one of these chains, it is drawn into the molecule by osmosis. Water rapidly migrates into the interior of the polymer network where it is stored. As the soil dries out, the polymer releases up to 95% of the absorbed water into the soil.
