The Andersons introduces K-Mate SG humic acid product

Date:03-25-2015

Following the 2014 launch of Humic DGTM, Black Gypsum DGTM and UltraMate SGTM, The Andersons recently announced the further expansion of our humic product line to include K-Mate SGTM – a super concentrated soluble granule formulation of potassium humate.

K-Mate SG is a 99% humic acid product from potassium humate, in a soluble granule (SG) form. These granules can be mixed in water to create a liquid potassium humate product, similar to liquid humic acids in the marketplace. K-Mate SG granules dissolve rapidly in solutions ranging from 6-12 pH, and store well over time in solution.

By comparison, 1.0 pound of K-Mate SG in one gallon of water is equivalent to one gallon of 12% liquid humic acid.

K-Mate SG uses include:
•    Drip irrigation
•    Fertigation
•    2×2 application
•    Spray application
•    Hydro seeding
•    Root injection

Featured in K-Mate SG and UltraMate SG, Soluble Granule (SG) Technology is part of The Andersons “tool box” of humic solutions aimed at improving both handling and performance. SG Technology is a unique method of concentrating humic acids and other nutrients in a water soluble formula.

Products featuring SG Technology make “hard to handle” nutrients easy to use and quick to dissolve, when combined with water or liquid fertilizers.

The advantages of soluble granules include:
•    Easy to mix and rapidly solubilize
•    Highly concentrated, reducing shipping and storage costs, compared to liquid formulations
•    Can be applied through a variety of liquid application equipment
