WATER RETAINERS

APROSOIL™ is a powerful water retainer which, when incorporated into a soil or substrate, absorbs and retains large quantities of water and fertilising elements.

APROSOIL™ has the property of releasing water and fertilising elements easily to allow the plant to have access to them at will according to the absorption – release cycles.

LAWNS & TURF

APROSOIL™ water retainers are commonly used throughout the growing cycle of lawns and turfgrasses. They ensure good germination, faster root development, and regular, even lawn growth

Sods also recover more quickly. The product is often used in landscaping for golf courses and lawns in parks and gardens.

CULTURE MEDIA

When mixed in a substrate, APROSOIL™ reduces water stress. It ensures better recovery of cuttings and seedlings and faster growth of young plantations. Irrigation frequencies are spaced out.

It is an ideal solution in substrates for window boxes, hanging plants and indoor plants.

tree planting

APROSOIL™ is effective in tree, shrub and seedling plantations*.

It reduces mortality due to transplant shock and increases root development, resulting in faster growth and production.

*Check country-specific approvals.

Cereal crops

APROSOIL™ is also effective in field crops*, thanks in particular to good soil aeration at the time of germination and root development.

The storage of rainwater or irrigation water by APROSOIL™ delays the wilting point and thus allows certain plants to begin to establish well while waiting for the water regime to become sufficient.

APROSOIL™ ensures good plant population and even plant growth even in very filtering soils.

*Check country-specific approvals.

DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

APROSOIL™ S is the assembly of an approved water retainer contained within a recyclable permeable envelope.

The patented product comes in the form of compartmentalised bags with partitions containing the non-activated hydrogel. It can be used in place of drainage beads.

OPTIMISED WATERING

Activated and then incorporated into the interior of the tubs, it ensures good plant growth and drainage of stagnant water.

APROSOIL™ S is a range with multiple formats. The different sizes can be adapted to the capacity of pots and planters.

Lagoon sealing

The COLMATEK™ range is composed of organic polymers with high swelling and elasticity performance.

After identifying areas of loss, the product is applied to the surface of the water. On contact with the water, the product activates and forms sticky patches that disappear at the bottom of the water thanks to the natural suction created by the leak or rock fracture.

The COLMATEK™ completes its expansion to plug the leak. Sediment and organic debris will then coat the surface to complete the plugging action once and for all.

GUARANTEEING WATER STOCKS

Waterproofing the lagoon is an essential solution for conserving water volumes. It is common practice to use clogging materials, such as clays, when building a reservoir.

Despite good construction, leaks can still occur. Any remaining leaks need to be dealt with to ensure the long-term future of the structure.
