Applications & Uses

Uses

Tramfloc® 1001 is applied in agricultures, horticulture, forestry, mining and other operations where moisture retention is required. Tramfloc® 1001 has an anionic character and is 100% active with a maximum moisture content of 10%. Tramfloc® 1001 is insoluble in water and functions in the usable pH range of 5 - 10.

Application Rate

Rates vary according to the conditions of the soils, crops, water supplies, and whether water is from rainfall or irrigation and the quantities and frequencies of watering. General guidelines are : 2-3 kg/m³ in mixed to substrates consisting of sand, peat and compost; 50-100 g/m² in broadcasting.

Safety & Health

Safety and Health

Dry polymer spills should be left dry and swept up at once. Spills of polymer are slippery. Precautions should be taken to prevent them from entering lakes or streams. Tramfloc® Polymer Cleaner 348 can be used to remove residue from equipment and floors. Polymer can be disposed of according to local regulations or treated with an absorbent material, then collected for subsequent legal disposal. Tramfloc® 1001 has been shown to exhibit a low order of toxicity. Nevertheless, precaution should be taken to prevent inhalation, ingestion or contact with skin or eyes. Observing basic industrial hygiene precautions should prevent any health or safety hazards.
