FI-1000 Soil Erosion Polymer

FI-1000 is an anionic high molecular weight polymer designed to reduce soil loss and silt loss in furrow irrigation applications. FI-1000 will increase water infiltration and reduce fertilizer and other chemical runoff. Similar materials have shown to reduce soil loss by up to 97%. The anionic polymer bonds the suspended particles in the water and they fall to the bottom of the water.

Benefits:
Reduces soil loss, reduces chemical and fertilizer runoff, increases water infiltration, cost effective, only one pound per acre.

Application Rate:
one pound per acre (12,000 gallons of water)

Technical reference form #520

FI-2000 Soil Erosion Polymer

FI-2000 is an anionic high molecular weigth water soluble polymer designed to reduce soil loss and silt loss in all aspects of agricultural irrigation. FI-2000 is an emulsion that can be applied to furrow, gated pipe, sprinkler and pivotal irrigation systems.

Benefits:
Reduces soil loss, chemical and fertilizer runoff. Increases water infiltration, reduces labor to repair furrows, and cost effective.

Application Rate:
30 ppm (30 parts per million). Treatment application varies upon soil, water properties and slope variances of the field to be treated.

Technical reference form #552

FI-3500 PAM Tablets

FI-3500 tablets are high molecular weight linear anionic materials designed to reduce soil and silt loss in furrow and pivot irrigation. FI-3500 tablets can be used where electric and machinery are not available for metering, pumping or dispensing devices for water channel applications.

The tablet reduces soil loss, removes soil and suspended particles from the discharge water and reduces NTU values in water channel applications. In agricultural applications the tablets can be placed directly in the furrow. For Pivot irrigation they are placed in mesh bags directly in the water flow of each tower and over each wheel track.
