ISP VapourShield Anti-Transpirant & Turf Conditioning Aid

ISP VapourShield Anti-Transpirant & Turf Conditioning Aid

VapourShield Anti-transpirant

VapourShield is a water-emulsifiable polymer concentrate. It is used on plants to reduce water transpiration and protection from climatic extremes. The soft, flexible film formed after the spray application dries, will significantly assist in the reduction of moisture loss from the plant foliage in times of stress. 

VapourShield has a use within Turf maintenance to reduce cold desiccation, drought and heat stress. It also plays a useful role as a harvesting tool in turf production to reduce the degradation of cut turf. VapourShield also reduces transplant shock and prevents cold desiccation in a range of ornamental plants.

Key Features

  • Improves plant performance in cooler conditions.
  • Reduces irrigation requirements.
  • Improves plant health and overall aesthetics.
  • Reduces turfgrass and ornamental plant shock when transplanting stock.
  • Improves post-harvest quality in turf production situations and during transport.
  • Minimal impact on plant growth and respiration.
  • Reduces the impact of summer stress.

Mode of Action

The active ingredients in VapourShield are non- toxic, film-forming short chain polymers called Cyclohexane polymers. These polymers mechanically limit plant transpiration without hindering normal plant function. Cyclohexane polymers are derived from specific fractions of pine resin materials. The cyclohexane polymers in Vapoushield when sprayed on the leaf surface and exposed to sunlight and air, undergo a process of polymerisation to form longer chain, higher weighted molecules.

After the water applied with VapourShield evaporates, a soft, flexible, multi-layered film is formed which degrades slowly over time, layer by layer. The film provided with VapourShield mechanically limits plant transpiration and moisture loss, providing a range of plant benefits including improvements in heat, drought, transplant and cold desiccation stress.
