Abstract
A delivery mechanism for delivering superabsorbent polymer (“SAP”) products is disclosed. The delivery mechanism comprises a horticulture mat that may include two cellulose substrate sheets bonded together with SAP particles disposed between the sheets. The horticulture mat may optionally include seed, fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and/or other growth-promoting additives.
Claims21
a horticulture mat, comprising:
- a first biodegradable cellulose substrate disposed in sheet form;
- a second biodegradable cellulose substrate disposed in sheet form and bonded to the first cellulose sheet, the first and second cellulose sheets forming a biodegradable mat;
- and
- superabsorbent polymer particles disposed between the first and second cellulose sheets.
1 more element
A horticulture mat, comprising:
- a biodegradable substrate disposed in sheet form;
- and
- superabsorbent polymer particles embedded in the biodegradable sheet;
- wherein the superabsorbent polymer particles comprise monomers that are at least one of the following:
- acrylic acid, acrylamide, methacrylamide, 2-acrylamido-2- methyl-propanesulfonic acid, methacrylic acid, vinyl sulfonic acid, ethyl acrylate, potassium acrylate, and derivatives and mixtures thereof.
2 more elements
A method of administering a superabsorbent polymer product in horticultural/agricultural applications, comprising:
- obtaining a biodegradable cellulose mat comprising a first cellulose sheet bonded to a second cellulose sheet, having superabsorbent polymer particles disposed there between;
- depositing the cellulose mat onto soil at a location where it is desirable to facilitate growth of plant life;
- and
- applying a fluid to the location where the cellulose mat was deposited.
