Micronized plant additive based on 99.5% silicon dioxide ($SiO_2$) for mechanical tissue stabilization and physical leaf care
SNOEK quartz flour is made from highly pure, natural quartz powder. Thanks to the ultra-fine grinding process (53% of the particles < 5 µm), the product has a very high specific surface area. This allows for an even, ultra-fine distribution on the plant parts to physically strengthen the outer cell structures.
Your benefits at a glance:
Mechanical cell wall strengthening: The micronized silicon dioxide particles settle into the wax layer (cuticle) of the leaf surface and increase the physical strength of the plant tissue.
Physical leaf drying: When applied as a fine spray coating, the fine flour speeds up the drying of water droplets on the leaf surface and reduces the time free moisture stays there.
Improved fruit firmness: The silicon deposited in the tissue supports the mechanical stability of the fruit walls during ripening and storage.
Targeted mineral supply in the root zone: Added to the soil, quartz flour enriches sandy or depleted substrates with pure silica.
Declaration of ingredients and raw materials:

Ingredients: 99.5% silicon dioxide (SiO2).
Particle size distribution: 99.8% < 20 µm, 53% < 5 µm.
DANGER GHS08 (Health Hazard) H372: Damages the lungs after long or repeated exposure through inhalation.
Safety instructions: Due to the extreme fineness (quartz fine dust formation), when weighing, mixing, and dry applying, suitable respiratory protection (at least FFP2/FFP3 mask) is absolutely necessary. Do not inhale dust. Store dry and tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Not suitable for human consumption.
