Lluvia Sólida provides an innovative water-saving technology using a potassium-based polymer that stores water as a gel in the soil, allowing for up to 90 percent reduction in irrigation needs for agriculture and gardening.
Lluvia Sólida is an agricultural technology company that provides a water-management solution based on a biodegradable, non-toxic potassium acrylate polymer. Developed in Mexico, this granular product functions as a superabsorbent hydrogel when mixed with soil near the plant root. By capturing and storing water from irrigation or rainfall, the polymer reduces water loss through evaporation and infiltration, allowing plants to draw moisture as needed. The technology is designed to retain up to 400 times its weight in water, enabling significant reductions in irrigation frequency and helping maintain soil hydration for extended periods.
This solution is utilized by farmers, gardeners, and commercial producers to improve water efficiency, reduce costs associated with irrigation infrastructure, and combat drought conditions. The polymer is designed to be reusable through multiple rehydration cycles, with a useful life lasting several years. By optimizing water resources, Lluvia Sólida aims to increase crop yields and promote sustainable agricultural practices in arid or water-stressed regions, both in Mexico and internationally.
