About Florikan
Features of Florikote™
IMPROVED EFFICIENCY
•Florikan is committed to providing high performing and cost effective
controlled release fertilizers. The development of Florikote™ is our
continued commitment to providing superior innovation and environmentally sustainable solutions for the green industry.
Development
• Developed in 2003 in conjunction with NASA through its Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program (SATOP)
• Plants and Turf are healthier when they receive a consistent source of nutrition.
Risk of Damage & Potential Nutrient Run Off
How It Works
• A patented dual reactive layer polymer coating process that controls nutrient release over a range of release periods.
•
Florikote™ breaks the feast or famine cycle associated with conventional and inferior slow release technologies, ensuring that nutrients remain available
to the plant and are not leached into the environment.
•
Florikote™ supports nutrient
management programs by
reducing the potential for nutrient runoff.
•We have served the professional Fertilizer Industry since 1981.
•Our focus is on the development of efficient technologies to sustain the release of nutrients to reduce the potential nutrient runoff and leaching
into the environment. Florikote™ development Timeline

™
• A smooth exterior coating with no breaks or fissures to ensure
a predictable release
•
Coating thickness determines
longevity. Florikote offers release types up to 12 months in Southern climates and up to 18-24 months in Northern climates.
•
Works through reverse osmosis - activated by moisture and the rate
of release, it is only impacted by soil temperatures.
•
Benchmarked to 77 degrees F average soil temperatures - maintains integrity even in climates
of extreme heat and rainfall. Quality Control
• Quality control quarantine process for 7 days post production
Florikote™ is introduced into the Turf & Agricultural
markets.
•
All production undergoes 1, 3, and 7 day dissolution tests in 100 degree F hot water baths to benchmark release and performance.
