Wetting Agent

FIBA-ZORB is one of the leading wetting agents that is used to treat bark, peat and other substrates and is applied to the substrate during the production stage. FIBA-ZORB GRANULAR has all the benefits of FIBA-ZORB LIQUID in an easy to apply granular form.

Once the substrate has been treated with FIBA-ZORB GRANULAR it becomes a very manageable growing media with numerous added value benefits for both the professional grower and hobby gardener. These added value benefits far exceed the costs of incorporating FIBA-ZORB GRANULAR into the substrate.

Key Benefits of FIBA-ZORB

The Benefits of Granular

FIBA-ZORB GRANULAR is the well proven substrate wetting agent in a granular form. This enables growers to incorporate

FIBA-ZORB into their substrates without the requirement to use dilution and spraying equipment. It can be added at a suitable stage in the production process when tumbling to ensure even distribution

The FIBA-ZORB is absorbed onto the very fine vermiculate carrier at a high percentage by weight ratio and as FIBA-ZORB has a greater affinity for moisture, the wetting agent immediately starts to leave the vermiculite carrier when in contact with moist peat fibres, attaching itself to their surface. Only a few days after mixing, the peat substrate displays features of fast initial wetting and the other benefits of the FIBA-ZORB wetting agent.
