Description

Sapropel CAS NO 64083-34-7 is a valuable, naturally occurring organic sediment formed from the decomposition of aquatic plants and organisms in freshwater bodies. This complex material is prized for its rich content of humic substances, minerals, and bioactive compounds, making it a versatile resource for soil enhancement and beyond. It is primarily sought by professionals in the agriculture, horticulture, and environmental remediation sectors for its ability to improve soil structure, fertility, and water retention.

Application

• Soil Conditioner & Fertilizer Additive: Enhances soil structure, increases cation exchange capacity (CEC), and provides a slow-release source of organic matter and micronutrients for improved crop yield and quality.
• Organic Farming & Horticulture: Serves as a foundational component in organic cultivation, promoting root development and plant vitality without synthetic chemicals.
• Land Reclamation & Erosion Control: Applied to degraded or contaminated soils to restore microbial life, bind loose particles, and initiate the natural rehabilitation process.
• Composting Accelerator: Acts as a bio-catalyst in composting operations, enriching the final compost with humic acids and speeding up the decomposition of organic waste.
• Animal Feed Supplement: Used in trace amounts as a source of natural minerals and organic compounds to support livestock health and digestion.
• Cosmetic & Therapeutic Preparations: Incorporated into balneological treatments (therapeutic mud baths) and cosmetic formulations for its purported detoxifying and skin-nourishing properties.

Quality Control

Our Sapropel is sourced and processed under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and efficacy. While specifications vary by application grade (agricultural, cosmetic, therapeutic), our products undergo rigorous testing for key parameters such as organic matter content, humic/fulvic acid concentration, moisture, and microbiological purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these parameters are available upon request to meet your specific quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to prevent caking and degradation due to atmospheric humidity.
