Rural Applications: Farm & Property Management

Airborne dust in its own right damages the upper and lower respiratory tracts of livestock – but is also the principle transport mechanism for the microbes that cause infection, illness, slowed growth and premature mortality in your stock. Note: The rural workforce is also exposed to this same hazard!

GRT products have been developed to effectively eliminate dust generation by controlling the surface of gravel and soil based tracks and packing sheds without the expense of bitumen sealing, asphalt or concrete, the wasteful and overly short duration of water’s effectiveness, and the unreliability and detrimental impact of some other dust control products on the market.

GRT: Wet-Loc and GRT: 5000. These 2 products are tried and proven in the Australian and New Zealand rural sector and have been independently tested and verified to Food Safety Australia and New Zealand Standards (FSANZ)

GRT: Wet-Loc is a clear, synthetic fluid that is applied neat. Formulated to meet the highest environmental standards, GRT: Wet-Loc is non-toxic and non-corrosive. It permeates deep into the finest of dust particles, weighing them down securely like water, but without the threat of evaporation or freezing to handle heavy wear and tight-turning areas such as:

With correct dosage and application, it can remain actively effective for up to 12 months, regardless of the weather or severity of traffic.

GRT: 5000 is a liquid polymer dust suppression concentrate for use on farm tracks and roads. GRT: 5000 suppresses treated road dust particles for up to two months. It is mixed with water and can be applied using existing water trucks or tankers to provide an exceptional surface coating solution for farm access tracks.

It can also be mixed in to a depth of 50-100mm and act as a tough, long-term binding agent for track construction purposes.

GRT’s commitment to managing water has expanded into the creation of cutting edge technologies to prevent the loss of stored water and to also improve its quality.

Ideal for the agricultural and resource sectors, this granular product is a specifically formulated, complex matrix of soluble and insoluble polymers at the forefront of dam repair technology.

Traditionally fixing a leaking dam required expensive civil works intervention – draining dams, relining with expensive imported clay or plastic liners. GRT: DamSealer avoids all this and can solve your leaking storage dam or retention/treatment facility for a fraction of the time and cost.

A unique combination of polymers in a granular form, the product is simply broadcast over the water surface and allowed to settle to the bottom and sides of the dam, where it goes to work.

1. Leaks and fissures cause small currents of water, which draw the larger granules in – these quickly expand to many times their size and plug these holes.

2. A complex matrix of polymers then forms a thick, gel layer, sealing the entire surface it is in contact with. This effectively relines the treated surface with a durable waterproof coating 25 to 50mm thick

100grams per square metre of GRT: DamSealer is all that is required to plug leaks and integrate with the soil surface, preventing the loss of water in applications such as:

Unlike other treatments in the marketplace, GRT: DamSealer is non-aquatoxic so can be used in sensitive environments or even for aquaculture.

Managing the quality of rural water – both for drinking and irrigation, but also waste water generated from activities such as dairying.

GRT has three concentrate products that are safe and easy to handle, fast acting, and cost effective:

GRT: CC is a Concentrated Coagulant, used to clarify water contaminated with finely suspended clays in dams and sedimentation basins. It is also used for removal of nutrients such as phosphate from water and fluoride from industrial wastewater. Works well in conjunction with GRT: Liquid-Floc.

GRT: Liquid-Floc is a premium flocculation product utilising long-chain polymer (LCP) technology to clarify water by capturing suspended particles and dropping them out of suspension.

GRT: Floc-Bloc is a solidified flocculation agent simply placed on the inlets to sediment basins or outlets to watercourses to allow the clarification of water through flocculation.

GRT Water Clarification Products combine suspended contaminants in the water to form a complex interconnected structure. As the particles connect, they become heavier and settle out of suspension, clarifying the water in:

GRT: Soil-Loc is a cost effective, broad-acre wind erosion technology designed to protect cropping lands when they are most vulnerable.

Specifically formulated for the rural sector, GRT: Soil-Loc provides farmers and growers peace of mind and confidence that wind and rain will have negligible negative impact on this years harvest. This unique formulation allows irrigation and rainfall to penetrate through its crust at a controlled rate, whilst limiting both wind and rill erosion of soil.

GRT: Soil-Loc will protect your investment for as little as $303 per hectare, ensuring valuable soil and fragile shoots are protected against driving winds carrying destructive soil particles.

Designed to be applied through standard rural equipment such as sprayers or irrigations systems, GRT: Soil-Loc is simple to use and safe for crops, livestock, workers and the environment. The product is diluted with water and best added with agitation or into flowing water to ensure thorough mixing.
