KEY BENEFITS ZEOPRO™ is a zeolite (clinoptilolite), a natural occuring mineral with microscopic pores, impregnated with a nutrient package developed cooperatively withh NASA. Researchers have reported benefits in water use efficiency, environmental leachate reductions and plant fertility. ZEOPRO™ is produced under patents and exclusive license from NASA (U.S. Patent 5,433,766 slow release fertilizer - synthetic apatite and U.S. Patent 5,451,242 active synthetic soil containing a combination of nutrient ion exchanged zeolite plus synthetic apatite) and utilized for their root zone mixes. After years of research, NASA found that it's high cation exchange capacity (CEC), high porosity, favorable moisture retention, and rigid structure make it a superior plant growth meduim. ZEOPRO™ has been studied for more than 10 years and has been found (USGA, Colorado State University, Cornell, Rutgers, etc.) to establish greens twice as fast as compared to any other treatment (Golf course management - February 1999) in fact, the lead researcher at Cornell stated he had not observed so rapid an establishment rate in any other experiment (Petrovic, A.M. 1998 interim report on ZeoPro research. Department of Floriculture and Ornamental Horticulture, Cornell University, Ithica, New York). ZEOPRO™ has a bulk density of 50 lb/cu ft and a high CEC (100 meq/100 grams) with only 10 to 15% by volume needed in the root zone mix to increase your nutrient reservoir substantially and better facilitate plant utilization in the root zone. ZEOPRO™ stimulates the quick establishment of greens so when the turn around time of a greens seeding or renovation is critical, the use of ZeoPro™ can make the difference between opening on time or early vs. a delay in play and operating revenue. ZEOPRO™ is off-white in color and is already charged with a synthetic apatite so essential nutrients making this an ideal product for grow-in and turf establishment. Numerous conclusive studies have been published over the years that validate this claim. The unique inter-action between the ZeoPro™ and plant roots facilitates an increase in actual nutrient availability as the plant needs them. ZEOPRO™ has outperformed calcined clay materials in research trials maintaining a higher establishment and quality rating throughout the establishment and grow-in period (Honig, J.A., J.A. Murphy and S.L. Murphy. 1998. Establishment of creeping bentgrass as affected by root zone mixtures and microenvironment. P 142 In: Agronomy abstracts. American Society of Agronomy, Madison, Wisconsin. - Murphy, J., S. Murphy, J. Honig, H. Motto, B. CLarke, R. Tate and E. Gaulin. 1998 Assessing root zone mixes for putting greens over time under two environmental conditions. Progress report to the USGA. Rutgers University, Cook College, New Brunswick, New Jersey). ZEOPRO™ is a soil amendment that, when added to a root zone improves plant performance. It is a zeoponic material developed by NASA as a growth media already charged with essential nutrients fo long term space travel. It can be added to any growth medium to amend the root zone and improve its performance as a growth medium. Issued on & Current as of 02/07/2008 (supersedes all previous versions)

SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has reported that there is “limited” evidence that crystalline silica (quartz or common sand) may cause cancer in humans who have silicosis. They have classified it as a Group 2A Potential Carcinogen. Although this material may contain a small amount of quartz, extensive studies have shown no excess or unusual numbers of either silicosis or lung cancer cases in workers in the industry.
Overexposure to crystalline quartz or related free silica forms by inhalation may lead to silicosis, which can be disabling and sometimes fatal. The injurious effects may be pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema, which typically develop unnoticed over a long period of time.
