HYDROPONICS

The delicate balance between moisture and drainage is an ongoing challenge to the hydroponic industry around the world as air is required by the roots of all plants for optimum health.

To answer these challenges Galuku has developed a coir substrate that provides the perfect combination of porosity and water retention. Coir’s unique tube-like structure enables plants that are suspended in a hydroponic solution to remain moist while allowing air to easily circulate to the roots.

Galuku Hydroponics is used by hydroponic vegetable, flower and other plant producers who are seeking a durable, cost effective substrate material that is friendly to the environment.

Industrial

Industry can be demanding on the environment. Processes that underpin the global economy demand solutions that are quick, cost-effective and safe for humans and the environment.

In response Galuku has developed a range of coir-based products that assist industry with absorbents/filters for spills and site remediation.

By harnessing the unique structural qualities of coir (the outer husk of the coconut), the products contain and clean toxic spills as well as provide bio-filtration for water treatment and sewage pump stations.

SpillFix is a less expensive, more effective alternative to clay-based absorbents that are made with harmful silica or diatomaceous earth. SpillFix also uses substantially less material to perform the same task as the clay-based products.

​

SpillFix is fast to use, safe and has no environmental disposal problems as non-hazardous SpillFix waste can be put directly into landfill after use.
