Zinc
Description
Micronutrient coating for granular fertiliser.
Dispersion of ultra-fine Zinc Oxide particles in a stable fluid base that flows easily and cures or sets on the fertiliser granule’s surface in a thin film, within seconds of application.
Typical spcecifications
Zinc Oxide: 62.5%
Zinc analysis: 50%
Specific Gravity: 2 (1 L = 2 kg)
Appearance: pale creamy, viscous liquid
Packaging & storage
600L (1200kg) in a 1000L IBC.
Store with lid closed in warehouse – not in direct sunlight.
Qualities
The base liquid is an environmentally friendly formulation, fully biodegradable, not toxic and beneficial to soil organisms.
Dispersed zinc oxide particles have a max particle diameter of 5 microns. This provides excellent adhesion to granules and a huge surface area for fast conversion/breakdown rates and availability for plant uptake.
Warning: Hazardous component
This product contains Zinc, a marine pollutant, which can be harmful if swallowed. See product SDS for specific hazards.
Application Rate
1 kg coating per ton fertiliser = 0.5 kg Zn or 0.05% Zn analysis.
10 kg coating per ton fertiliser = 5.0 kg Zn or 0.50% Zn analysis.
20 kg coating per ton fertiliser = 10.0 kg Zn or 1.0% Zn analysis.
Directions for use
IBCs containing SATS Zn should be mixed at least once per week with an IBC mixer or similar.
Apply to granular fertiliser in a batch mixer or continuous blending system. Coverage is improved by granule movement.
Application can be via spray nozzles or drip-bar.
Do not employ a filter or strainer in the liquid stream.
SATS Zn should not be diluted, but can be co-applied with fungicides or soil enhancers.
Spray systems should be flushed if not used regularly.
