Aquatrols Introduces Astria, the Industry’s First Natural Soil Surfactant

Aquatrols, the world’s leading innovator and producer of high-performance soil surfactants, has developed the professional turf industry’s first truly effective, natural and biodegradable soil surfactant.

NEW JERSEY, January 2023 – Aquatrols Corporation of America proudly introduces Astria Natural Soil Surfactant. Astria joins Aquatrols’ Hydration portfolio of products, alongside industry staples like Revolution, Zipline and Aqueduct Flex.
