PolySorb™

www.Satyajit.co

Superabsorbent anionic polyacrylamide polymer

Cross-linked co-polymer of acrylamide & potassium acrylate

Composition

www.Satyajit.co

PolySorb™ consists of set of chains parallel to each other, linked to each other forming a network

When water comes in contact, it is drawn into the molecule by osmosis

As soil dries out, PolySorb™ releases upto 95% of absorbed water into the soil

and spills and less evaporation

2. Soils remains irrigated for a longer time.

3. Interval between 2 irrigations is spread out

Advantages

1. Reduced mortality

2. Application of hydrated PolySorb™waters the tree at planting

3. Possibility to plant during the dry season

4. Cost savings: saplings, labor, etc

Application

Toxicity

• PolySorb™ demonstrates no systemic toxicity (oral LD50/rats > 5000mg/kg)

• PolySorb™ is sensitive to uv rays and undergoes degradation to oligomers and subsequently undergoes microbial degradation by aerobic and anaerobic process

• PolySorb™ degrades naturally in soil into CO2, H2O & Nitrogen compounds which are essential plant nutrients
