Plant plugs are essential for the propagation and cultivation of seedlings, offering a protected and favorable environment for the plants’ initial growth. They ensure ideal conditions for healthy root development and allow a smooth transition to soil or another growing medium. These substrates support the seedlings by providing the necessary nutrients, moisture, and structure for robust growth, ensuring uniformity and reducing losses during the rooting process.
Pre-Polymer Characteristics
To achieve maximum plug efficiency, the substrate must be agglomerated with a pre-polymer formulated exclusively for this purpose, maintaining its original shape with low density and ensuring air passage. To meet all market needs, Amino developed AMIPRE PAX 2627, an expansive and hydrophilic single-component pre-polymer, a technology that enables a structured substrate for various types of crops.
Benefits of AMIPRE PAX 2627
AMIPRE PAX was formulated without the inclusion of any additives, making it inert and activated only upon contact with water. This ensures a sustainable final product, free of contaminants for humans, other animals, and the plants themselves, and fully biodegradable. As an expansive polymer, AMIPRE PAX also provides a more aerated and permeable substrate while maintaining its structure, ideal for ensuring the plant receives the necessary volume of water and air for its development.
Customized Solution
In addition to meeting the technical requirements of the final product, AMIPRE PAX can be adapted to different reactivity ranges, whether in manual or mechanical processes, resulting in faster curing times and consequently increasing productivity. This adaptation is possible because Amino provides assistance in adjusting formulations according to specific needs, offering a personalized experience for each customer.
Other Applications
AMIPRE PAX is Amino’s solution for substrate structuring in plant plugs, but it can also be applied in other segments, such as imitation xaxim pots, using fibers from different materials. By promoting expansion, the pre-polymer makes the container permeable, solving a recurring problem that occurs in similar materials when adhesion is performed using water-based glue. This ensures proper air entry and water drainage, allowing for the appropriate growth of plants.
