ALSTA Hydrogel: best magic water gel for plants

ALSTA Hydrogel is an innovative superior


quality high performance super absorbent
polymer and water absorber based on
cross-linked Potassium polyacrylate
polymer.

Water absorbing materials present in


ALSTA Hydrogel find widespread
application in soil conditioning and as
substrate enhancer in farming, agriculture,
horticulture, arboriculture, hydro-seeding,
hydroponics etc. It helps retain large
quantities of moisture and dissolved
nutrients in soil at root zone and release
95% of the said water for direct uptake by
root suction mechanism.

Benefits of ALSTA Hydrogel

Accelerates seedling germination and growth
Reduces mortality rate of new saplings
Reduces drought stress on plants
Prevents soil erosion by water runoff
Reduces quantity and application rate of fertilizers and pesticides

Key features of ALSTA Hydrogel

Absorbs and retains water 500times its own weight


Available as dry white granules and powder
Non-toxic and biodegradable
Easy to apply
Long shelf and operational life
Compatible with all soil and plant types

Operation and Application:

ALSTA Hydrogel for plants is composed of non-toxic potassium polyacrylate polymer network. In presence of water, the
polymer chains absorb the moisture by osmosis and swell. The absorbed water forms the matrix of the gel and can
remain stored intact for long periods of time. It neither evaporates, nor freezes. Water soluble nutrients and pesticides
become part of the gel too and are slowly released as the water is used by the plant.
ALSTA Hydrogel is highly effective when used in large scale farming and agricultural applications particularly during
germination and development of root system. It is greatly efficient in rainwater retention and can provide for irrigation
delays without affecting plant yield. Irrespective of soil type, ALSTA Hydrogel ensures proper plant biomass development
and growth. It helps prevent transplanting shocks, proper subsoil binding and aeration, reduce need for mulching,
reduce period of germination, greatly reduces mortality, fertilizer and pesticide application etc.

Chemtex Speciality Ltd. a pioneer name in the field of specialty chemical manufacturers and suppliers globally presents
ALSTA Hydrogel as a simple easy to use eco- friendly product that farmers and agronomists can effectively use to reduce
water consumption without compromising on plant growth and yield and also as the best choice for growing lush green
crops even in dry drought conditions.
