super absorbent polymer chemistry for agriculture plants
Product Description
As a function polymer material, superabsorbent polymer (SAP) has strong water absorbing ability.
- It can absorb hundreds times its weight and lock water firmly.
- After absorbing, SAP powder (or granule) will turn into water gel.

Sodium polyacrylate vs Potassium polyacrylate
Potassium polyacrylate will not saline soil, will not cause soil salinization, more friendly to soil and environment, so it is better choice for plants.
The reason is that most plants, no matter crops or vegetables, flowers, their growing need NPK at balance, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium(Kalium), they need little Sodium(Na+), if the dose of Sodium polyacrylate exceed normal and sodium salt will be accumulated in soil and harm plants, cause soil salinization
Potassium Polyacrylate
Potassium Polyacrylate is potassium based SAP, it mainly used for agriculture for 3 advantages:
Potassium(Kalium) has a beneficial effect on plants;
Potassium polyacrylate will not cause soil salinization;
Potassium polyacrylate is friendly for nature and environment;
Potassium Polyacrylate Polymer is capable of Saving Water, Fertilizer, Man Power, Improves Nutrient usage ratio, Environment, Soil condition, Money Profits, etc.
Sodium polyacrylate
Sodium polyacrylate is sodium-based SAP, based on Sodium polyacrylate, we can make many consumer products.
It is primarily used as a thickening agent because of its unique ability to absorb and hold onto water molecules, making it ideal for use in diapers and hair gels, and for plants in the garden or potting soil.
It is also used in industrial processes to dissolve soaps by absorbing water molecules.
Our Mainly Applications for Agriculture1.Hydrogel for large-scale agriculture
15 to 30 kg per Hectare dosage, along with seeds hole application or ditch application to the soil around the seed, the seed germination rate can effectively improve and promote seedling growth. Gets success planting corn in the U.S, pature in arid area of Inner Mongolia, potatoes grown in Cape Verde Africa, and melon yield increase more than 70%.
2.Water retention agent special for lawns and sod
SOCO® polymer is very easily used throughout the growth cycle of lawns and sod. They ensure good germination, faster root development, and regular and even growth of lawns. The rooting of sod is also faster. Super absorbent polymer are widely used in landscaping for golf courses and grass in parks and gardens.
3.Water retention agent special for mixing with fertilizers
To reduce leaching of nutrients in the soil, SOCo® Polymer may be mixed dry into fertilizer preparations. The behavior of plants fertilized with this mixture makes it possible to maintain or even increase yield while at the same time protecting the environment from leaching. Manufacturers' test results also show better root development of the plants.
4.Water retention agent special for horticulture
SOCO® polymer for horticulture can be added to the soil when plants are planted, which will increase the survival rate of plants, increase the drought resistance of plants, facilitate plant generation, and reduce garden care costs.
5.Water retention agent special for Arboriculture
Super absorbent polymer is effective in the planting of trees, bushes, and jungle. It makes it possible to reduce the mortality rate during transplanting and to enhance root development and therefore brings about more rapid growth and production.
6.Water retention agent special for Transpl lanting adult trees
The use of Super absorbent polymer soil water retention agent is one of the main technical guarantee measures for the "site formation" of large trees with canopy transplantation.
7.Water retention agent special for vegetables
Using eggplant, chiehwa, and ribbed loofah as materials, two types of water-retaining agents with different particle sizes were used to raise seedlings to study the effect of water-retaining agents on vegetable seedling quality and fertility retention. The results show that the higher the concentration of the water-retaining agent in the seedling substrate, the stronger the fertilizer-holding capacity of the seedling substrate, but when the concentration of the water-retaining agent is too high, it will inhibit the growth of vegetable seedlings, and the low-concentration water-retaining agent has a significant effect on promoting the growth of vegetable seedlings, and the small particles The seedling strengthening effect of diameter water retaining agent is better than that of large particle size water retaining agent. When the concentration of small particle size water retaining agent is 1%, the seedling effect is the best. The plant height, stem thickness and maximum leaf area of eggplant,chiehwa, and ribbed loofah seedlings Both reached the maximum value, and the difference was extremely significant compared with the control.
8.Water retention agent special for greening project
Super absorbent polymer is commonly used in greening project: stabilizes newly graded soils, maintain a minimum of surface water; reduces the amount of mulch;prevents cellulose mulch from becoming hardpan;helps rapid sprouting of seedlings even in dry areas.
9.Seed coating
Seed coating use SAP should be fine particle size of 0.3 mm or less, after SAP coating the seed emergence quickly, strong and good disease resistance, this is the easily available way use SAP to plants in a drought area, which also with small quantity, low cost and good performance.Founded in 2009, Qingdao SOCO New Material Co., Ltd. is a modern high-tech enterprise focusing on the R&D, production, marketing, and service of SOCO brand macromolecule polymer products. At present, Qingdao SOCO has launched a series of more than 30 varieties and specifications of products, including agricultural grade SAP, industrial-grade SAP,hygienic grade SAP.
We have over 400 valued clients in more than 60 countries and regions such as Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Russia, Poland, Sweden, Turkey, Australia, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Guatemala, South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, India, Kazakhstan. Stan, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, and South Korea. SOCO products with a good reputation and popularity have been widely recognized by customers in the international market.
