What is GreenJacket

1
What is GreenJacket ?

• Green Jacket is a tough, durable, non porous
  thermoset polyurethame membrane, which is
  specifically designed to meet the feeding
  requirement of turfgrasses, ornamentals and
  agricultural crops.

How Does Green Jacket Release?

• Green Jacket releases by OSMOSIS the constant
  gradual diffusion of nutrient solution through
  this tough polymer coating.

Green Jackets Release Rate is Not Affected By...

• Moisture
• pH Levels
• Micro-organisms
• Soil Type

6
Green Jackets Release Rate is Affected By...

• Soil Temperature
• Coating Thickness
• Solubility of Substrate

We can precisely predict the length of release of
any Green Jacket product when we know the
temperatures where the product is located.

How Does Green Jacket Differ From Other Polymer
Coated Fertilizers?

• Green Jacket will not soften or melt with heat or
  swell when water is adsorbed by the coating
  during release
• Green Jacket nutrient release pattern is steady,
  reliable and predictable.

8
How Does Green Jacket Differ From Other Polymer
Coated Fertilizers?

• Green Jacket fertilizers are blends designed for
  specific climatic zone, seasonal change and
  varying growth rates of a broad range of plants
• Other SRF soften with water or brittle, unsteady
  release, more residue.
