WATER PERMEABILITY TEST In field tests performed at Tampere University of Technology it has been shown that Greenfain has at least three different modes of action.

• 1. It provides a substantially faster wetting of a dry growth substrate due to its high efficiency of removal of the surface tension.

• 2. It increases water permeability in soil fully saturated with water (for example during the absorption of storm water).

• 3. It allows the moistened growth substrate to retain its moisture longer thus diminishing significantly the need for irrigation water.

WATER PERMEABILITY TEST (pure water)

WATER PERMEABILITY TEST (pure water) • Fig. 1. During irrigation with pure water the water permeability of the growth substrate (lawn) is initially 650 mm/day and reaches a value of slightly below 1000 mm/day. The duration of the absorption is about 50 minutes. The experiment shows that with excess of water the surface layer becomes quickly saturated with water and the wetting of the root layer is slowed down

WATER PERMEABILITY TEST (water + Greenfain)

WATER PERMEABILITY TEST (water + Greenfain) • Fig. 2. When Greenfain WP3 is used according to the suggested dosage in the irrigation water, the water permeability is over 1000 mm/day already in less than 5 minutes and after 70 minutes the water permeability is over 5000 mm/day. In this study it was clearly shown that for the moistening of the whole growth layer less than the normal amount of irrigation water was required

DOSAGE:

• Initial treatment: ~ 1: 500 (0,2 %), 500 l water = 1,0 l Greenfain • Treatment area appr. ~ 1: 1000 (0,1 %), 1000 l water = 1,0 l Greenfain • In dry spots and very dry conditions, it is recommended to increase both dosage and treatment frequencies

Statement concerning Greenfain and its environmental values •

The tensides of Greenfain are biodegradable according to EU-regulations (OECD301E).

•

The final decomposition products are coal dioxide and water, and also at smaller amounts compounds of nitrogen and sulphur, which plants can use as a nutrient.

•

Greenfain is classified as “not dangerous” for people or for environment. The classification is made according to EU-regulations (REACH) and global regulations (GHS). Therefore this classification should be valid worldwide.

•

Greenfain is not dangerous for micro-organisms and does not encourage algae growth. Greenfain helps remarkably the absorption of water into the soil and therefore prevents runoffs, saves energy, irrigation water and thus money.

Greenfain also diminishes the need for fertilizers and nourishments.

•

Greenfain WP3 doesn’t include living substances (such as microbes, yeasts, etc.)

Where you can use Greenfain • • • • • •

Golf courses Nurseries Gardens Parks Farming in general All kind of irrigation purposes.

Why Greenfain • It saves water 30%-50% ->Beacause of saving water then savings also in time, manpower, energy etc.

• 15%-25% better harvest • It is environment friendly • It’s price vs. value is very good • It is also working with salt water and reduces the salts effects to the soil & plants

Users • Biggest users of Greenfain are in Dubai, Finland, Sweden and Estonia.
