Agriculture hydrogel water-absorbing polymer


Agriculture is the backbone of any developing country as they contribute a significant role to economical growth, along with achieving other essential development goals like ensuring food security and improving nutrition. It not only provides food security but also raises income among the people who live in rural areas and work mainly in farming.

Based on soil condition and climate, irrigation practices have changed with changes in farming technology, but still, there are maximum places that use age-old practices which not only reduce the effective use of water but also decrease the availability of crops. Due to irresponsible farming practices, infestations, and climate change, soil, water, and biodiversity are at risk.

With the fast decline of irrigation and continued expansion of population and economic activity in most states, which are located especially in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world are facing problems of uncertain and inadequate rainfall.

Water scarcity, Insufficient rainfall, and excessive irrigation lead to drought, financial loss, and other undesirable leads to lower productivity of crops, which increases the price rate.

Nowadays, water conservation is possible with the application of hydrogel polymer in agricultural fields. This formulation helps to solve the water-related problem, and also upgrades the soil texture. This polymer can be mixed with soil particles and swells up in contact with water. It starts releasing water when the conditions become dry, ensuring an uninterrupted water supply and normal growth. It acts as a water reservoir for plants and has the ability to trap irrigation and rainwater which can be released later at the time of requirement over prolonged durations. 

Agriculture Hydrogel, a water-absorbing polymer is a polyacrylate-based super absorbent polymer for use as a water-retaining agent in drought-prone areas. These are Non-toxic, bio-degradable with no residues around, and operational life of over five years. This polymer has a super absorbent capacity and swells quickly to a larger degree. It absorbs aqueous solutions and soluble plant nutrients with the help of hydrogen bonds of water molecules. It absorbs water up to 400 - 500 times its own weight and releases water during the dry condition, influencing soil permeability, texture, and evaporation rate.

Chemtex manufactures hydrogel as the brand name of ALSTA HYDROGEL, enhancing water retaining ability. In addition to water, it will swell up and hold the water molecules for the future making the whole process cost-effective.

Advantages of using ALSTA HYDROGEL

·         It is effectively useful in areas prone to drought.

·         Ability to absorb a huge amount of water

·         Compatible with all types of soil

·         Decreases the use of fertilizers and pesticides

·         Long lifetime operation in soil

RO Antiscalant

Reverse Osmosis serves as one of the most critical processes that are involved in the process water treatment to clean water, utilized in various industrial process applications. Reverse Osmosis can be regarded as the process wherein semi-permeable membranes help in separating purified water from contaminated water. It occurs when a pressure is applied to the concentrated side of the membrane resulting in forcing purified water to the dilute side. Reverse Osmosis is very efficient for the treatment of brackish, surface and ground water for both large and small flow applications. Some examples of industries that use RO water include boiler feed water, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, metal finishing and semiconductor manufacturing to mention a few. The overall performance of a reverse osmosis system relies on various factors like feed water quality, membrane type, flow control, temperature and pressure. Systems must be well maintained for ensuring effective performance with any

Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT) Coolant

Optimal use of machines is directly proportional to its engine performance. What an engine does is it converts the supplied energy into its mechanical form, driving the machine to work. Engines require one-third of total heat that is generated during conversion and the rest of the heat is needed to be evacuated from the combustion chamber which would otherwise lead to engine failure. Earlier, water was preferred as an ideal coolant for quite a period of time but the problem started to arise when the temperature would become extremely high or low, to be precise temperature more than 100 ° C and below 0°C. To get rid of this problem, coolants were formulated. Coolants are categorized chemicals that increases the boiling point of the fluid and decreases the freezing point of the fluid to make it suitable for use in extreme heat and freezing conditions. Coolants are a proportionate mixture of antifreeze and solvent, mainly glycol and water. Ideally utilized as a preventive in

Antiscalant Chemical for RO Plant

  Reverse Osmosis System is a revolutionary invention to treat water and provide an effective solution for purifying water in various applications. The performance of RO can be ensured by the formation of scale and deposits on the membranes, leading to reduced efficiency and increased operational costs.   To prevent this issue, antiscalant chemicals play an important role in reducing the formation of scale and maintaining optimal RO Plant performance. Reverse Osmosis is widely used in various industries to treat water and to remove impurities such as salts, minerals, and other contaminants. The dense, thin, and semi-permeable layer allows water molecules to pass through while rejecting dissolved solids, and other impurities such as salts, minerals, and other contaminants. But the major issue that surfaces in such systems is the formation of scales due to the build-up of dissolved minerals and salts on the surface of the RO Membrane. RO Antiscalant Chemicals – Cost-effective Soluti
