Ecologel Solutions: Hydretain
Neither a wetting agent nor a superabsorbent polymer, Hydretain® is a revolutionary new chemistry designed to reduce the watering requirements of plants and turf.
A patented blend of liquid humectant and hygroscopic compounds attract free water molecules from the air within the soil matrix, acting like tiny water magnets. This vapor would otherwise be unusable by plants and eventually lost to evaporation.
Hydretain aggregates this moisture back into a liquid form, efficiently transfering it to plant roots. Through this simple mechanism Hydretain not only helps keep plants clear of daily wilt cycles and drought, but it also contributes to more complete usage of water applied by rainfall and irrigation.
