Kick^®

Dual chemistry. Triple action.

Surfactant

1. Penetrating power disintegrates water droplets to spread evenly across the surface and within the soil.
2. Redistributes forces of water to optimise water, oxygen and nutrients in the soil.
3. Superior wetting action provides rapid water infiltration and lateral distribution in the soil.

Humectant

1. Converts plant unusable root zone humidity into useable micro droplets of water.
2. Droplets are held tightly enough to prevent it from leaving the proximity of the root, but lightly enough to allow the root to absorb the water through osmosis.
3. Once these components attach to the roots and soil particles, they remain attached and are resistant to further movement in the soil, while continuing to attract and retain water.

Superior penetration.

• The superior penetration of Kick^® is achieved by its 58% surfactant technology that rapidly breaks down water surface tension and can infiltrate as fast as 0.5 seconds.
• Horizontal distribution of water is significantly increased further encouraging water movement down, deep and laterally. This improves oxygen, moisture & nutrients in the rootzone keeping turf healthy and performing its best all year round.

Moisture retaining power.

• The moisture retaining power of Kick^® is partly achieved by its 17% humectant technology that converts root zone humidity into micro droplets of water which are held tightly for roots to absorb.
• Creating such a positive effect on plant-soil-water interaction also maximises nutrient assimilation, increased solubilisation and most importantly of all, leaching is minimised.

Water saving ability.

• Kick^® utilises both surfactant and humectant components for its water saving super power. Its ability to optimise irrigation and rainfall events conserves water that will reduce drought frequencies and ultimately prevent hydrophobic conditions.
• Kick^® continues to effectively minimise the loss of soil water to evaporation by capturing escaping water vapor back into a plant useable liquid form. Now thats cool!

Reducing the freezing point.

• Utilising both parts of its formulation, Kick^® has been scientifically proven using DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) to lower the freezing point of soils by -2.2^oC.
• This provides extra frost protection during those early spring / late autumn days protecting your turf from damage, keeping soils warmer and allowing play to commence earlier than ever before.

Aids the speed of germination.

• The humectant component comes back into play here, to aid the speed of germination and increase establishment.
• When applied over the seed and into the seedbed, Kick^® reduces the drying effects in between irrigation and rainfall events. Therefore, the seed is able to germinate more rapidly, and then establish due to more favourable moisture conditions.
