The following technical information is based on research conducted by a variety of academic and research organisations and agencies; data obtained from Quick-Sol® application on a variety of plants, in a variety of regions and environmental conditions; and testimonial received from Quick-Sol® customers.
Quick-Sol® is a Soluble Silicon (Si) product belonging to the ionized Sodium Silicate family.

Scientific research has long established that Si nutrition is directly correlated to increase; mechanical strength, growth and stress-resistant capabilities of plants. Quick-Sol® has proven to significantly increase the overall quality of plants as well as deliver impressive growth acceleration rates. Quick-Sol® allows plants to more effectively consume CO2, thereby enhancing metabolic processes which result in increased growth. Quick-Sol® improves the storage and distribution of carbohydrates and increases chlorophyll production. This leads to a darker green, creating a perfect environment for better leaf orientation for light reception, in turn, increases photosynthesis and growth rates.
Quick-Sol® is a great maintenance aid and retards wilting in plants and flowers.

Research has demonstrated that Si deposits in plant’s epidermal zone (outmost layer of cells) helps to create a stronger and healthier plant, allowing the plant to produce a barrier against diseases and insects. The accumulation of Si forms a double cuticle (non-cellular protective layer covering the epidermis layer), helping to create a mechanical barrier against insects and helping to prevent cell wall penetration caused by attacking fingi. Quick-Sol® is a superior surfactant which facilitates foliar applications. Foliar applications have proven to help protect new plant growth and help to prevent damage by insects such as aphids (tiny sucking insects that are carriers of many viruses that affect a range of plants) Quick-Sol®, provides protective capabilities which are innocuous to the environment.

Soil Fertility refers to the innate ability of soil to provide necessary amounts of nutrients, in appropriate portions. There are numerous mineral elements which are considered Essential for plant growth, while there are others considered Beneficial. Si has recently been described by several agriculturalist and scientists as an Essential mineral given its effect on the mineral nutrition of plants and the effect on the structure of the soil adjusting and restoring it. Quick-Sol® plays an important role in the transport of mineral nutrients, to facilitate optimum plant growth. Si has proven to increase soil tolerance related to the presence of excessive aluminium concentrations, and to fight zinc deficiencies.

Protecting the world’s limited supply of freshwater is of paramount importance to all especially giving consideration to the growing demand for water coupled with today’s water management challenges. Due to the increase in the ion exchange capacity generated by the application of Quick-Sol®, the rate of movement of contaminants to the water table is diminished - giving consideration to the permeability of the soil. Quick-Sol® facilitates the binding of chemicals to particles of organic matter, creating a zone of contaminant retention. The more chemicals maintained in the contamination retention zone, the less the contamination rate of the water table.
Through the reduction of leaching Quick-Sol® allows for a better use of the beneficial nutrients and helps prevent the leaching of these nutrients into the water table. Quick-Sol® fights toxicity better than lime, diminishes heavy metals and hydrocarbons contamination, and improves results when using manure or natural compounds since it helps to transform active and toxic contaminants in inert materials (non-reactive ones).
