Polymer Innovations In Hydroseeding

Hydroseeding is a land reclamation process often used on cleared, steep or damaged land that uses a slurry of seeds, dyes & mulch.

The slurry is transported & applied via a water tank or IBC then sprayed over the ground in a uniform layer to promote the new growth of native plants preventing air pollution, soil erosion & undue water runoff.

Warter$ave Hydro is a specific combination of polymers that are further enhanced via cross-linking to hold the hydromulch in place & release water as it is required. Water$ave Hydro is smooth & accurate to apply with no 'splashing'.

Additives such as native seeds, fertilisers or dyes can be added to the hydromulch mix depending on your soil structure, slope gradient & irrigation requirements.
Accurate smooth application
Water$ave Hydro is a specific polymer blend for general hydroseeding operations in urban areas & general road embankments.
 
Water$ave Hydro is designed to break down as the plants' root systems penetrate & hold the moist soil structures in place.

Water$ave Hydro provides an cost efficective, safe & easy to apply hydroseeding solution to enhance the growth of cleared or damaged native land.

Water$ave Hydro is available in 2.5kg bags, 5kg, 10kg, 15kg & 18kg pails. 

Polymer Innovations has been trialing a new 'stand-alone' Polyacymalide tackifier for some time now to give greater asssitance to Australia hydroseeding projects.

A tackifier is an adhesive compound used in hydroseeding (or hydromulching). Acting as a 'glue' it can be a resin based or a polymer based mixture used to increase the 'tack' or stickiness of the hydroseed mulch to be mixed, this may contain water, seeds & fertilisers. This hydromulch 'mix' is then pumped over the area to be treated.

Water$ave Hydro-Tac is a specific linear polyacrylamide, called PAM.
Using PAM tackifiers is one best ways to hydroseed; retaining more moisture in the mulch to keep it in place & prevents messy applications without 'splashing' onto embankments, paths & roadways.

Water$ave Hydro-Tac does not 'glue' the mulch to the soil. It actually hydrates & conglomerates the soil particles, making them bigger & heavier.
Hydro-Tac is a 'stand alone' tackifier
Therefore making it much more difficult to displace on embankments, damaged land & hillsides making it perfect for steep slopes.

'Organic' tackifiers such as guar gum will 'tack' only for a short time (usually before the roots & soil have established properly) & do not retain water at all therefore not all seeds will germinate & develop evenly, leading to further soil erosion.

Water$ave Hydro-Tac is a specific polyacrylamide (or PAM) tackifier that last longer & at lower application rates produce the same 'tack' as organic tackifiers.

Water$ave Hydro-Tac is a 'stand alone' tackifier that does not necessarily require mulch or additives. It is a blend of specific lineal polyacrylamides for hydroseeding projects that retain moisture & soil structures for longer time periods than other polymer tackifiers.

Water$ave Hydro-Tac is an excellent 'straw tackifier' that is designed to break down as the plants' root systems penetrate & hold the soil structures in place.

Highly effective in the young regrowth of trees, shrubs, bushes & saplings to assist in revegetation & reforestation especially in dry & remote locations.

Water$ave Hydro-Tac is available in 2.5kg bags, 5kg, 10kg, 15kg & 18kg pails.

Water$ave Hydro & Water$ave Hydro-Tac's key benefits include:
  •     'Stand alone' tackifier, less water & no mulch required.
  •     Less required for the same amount of 'tack'.
  •     Enhances plant seeding, growth & survival.
  •     Increase the water holding capacity of soils.
  •     No splashing, accurate application.
  •     Breaks down naturally as root systems are established.
  •     Reduces soil erosion.
  •     Reduce watering frequency by up to 50%.
  •     Protects against drought & groundwater pollution.
  •     Improve physical properties of compact soil.
  •     Reduce water evaporation from soil.
  •     Limits leaching of nutrients & fertilisers.
  •     Improves soil porosity & aeration to stimulate plant growth.
  •     Non toxic, environmentally friendly & biodegradable.
  •     Same methods no matter the scale.
  •     Full documentation & backup support.
  •     Delivered to your door nationwide or worldwide.

Polymer Innovations sales & support staff will tailor the best solution for your hydroseeding, hydromulching or hydrosprigging concerns.
