Hydrogel is a water retainer. It is made of a superabsorbent polymer called potassium polyacrylate. A superabsorbent polymer is a material that has the ability to absorb large amounts of water and release it slowly afterwards. Hydrogel belongs to this type of material. It is a material that is presented dry and in the form of white crystals of 1-2 mm in size. Its main use is in agriculture. It is also known as solid rain, water retainer, potassium polyacrylate, water gel, water crystals.<\/p>\n

IDENTIFICATION AND PROPERTIES<\/h2>\n

Name:<\/strong> Hydrogel for Plants. Potassium Polyacrylate.
\nCAS:<\/strong> 25608-12-2<\/p>\n

Appearance: Powder or Crystals
\nSee physico-chemical properties hydrogel for plants.<\/a><\/p>\n

GRAIN SIZE OF PLANT HYDROGEL<\/h2>\n

Fine grain: Dry size between 0.8 and 1.2mm.
\nMedium grain: Dry size between 1.2 and 1.8mm. Hydrated they have an irregular size in crystals of 10-20mm.<\/p>\n

You can select either a dry grain size of 0.8-1.2mm or 1.2-2mm. The technical characteristics of both are the same, the smaller grain size is intended for smaller plants or seedlings.<\/p>\n

HYDROGEL ABSORPTION<\/h2>\n

The hydrogel you find at Alquera is available in dry form. Regardless of the grain size, the hydrogel absorbs up to 300 times its weight in water.<\/p>\n
