Water Retaining Agent for Horticulture: ACRYHOPE™ Acrylic acid/Sodium acrylate copolymer, cross-linked

Basic Information

ACRYHOPE™ is a water retaining agent for use in horticulture and greenery.

It absorbs and keeps several hundred times its weight in water, and gradually releases this stored water as the surrounding soil starts to dry out.
Through this repeated cycle of absorbing and releasing water, ACRYHOPE™ is able to steadily supply water to plants and vegetation.

Features and Properties

ACRYHOPE™ not only increases the amount of water retention in soil, but it may also increase the amount of air in soil due to its large particle diameter.
ACRYHOPE™ does not easily scatter into the air, which also gives it excellent workability when being mixed into soil.
