Polymer History

Polyacrylamides-Where it all started.  The drought of the late 1980's provided an opportunity to introduce the "crystal" type of polymers, that we were using in our potted soil mix, to main stream production agriculture.  Fast forward 27 years later to the patented technology of liquefied Polyacrylamides better known as, AquaBoost.  This is hands down a superior polymer technology concerning performance, user friendliness, the environment, and cost effectiveness.  There is no other product on the market that can match the attributes of AquaBoost.    
MPXA

  • Maintain proper moisture levels in your soil for optimum plant development
  • Keep nutrients around the root zone that would otherwise leach
  • Minimize plant stress between irrigation cycles
  • Maximize duration between irrigation cycles, conserve water
  • Increase germination in all soil types.
