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 HY Hydro

In the modern age we are sometimes to impatient to wait for mother nature & father time to do things in their own way. Sometimes to catch up with our often increasing rate of damage is to increase the rate of the recovery.

Experiments throughout history to make nature more 'efficient' may not always work but in the case of early hydroseeding trials in the United States during the 1950's the first 'Hydroseeder' was a resounding success.

The first commercial hydroseeder was invented to efficiently shoot seed & fertiliser over broad areas. This process is now used throughout the world.

Hydroseeding (or hydro-mulching) is a planting process which utilises a slurry of seed & mulch. The slurry is transported in a tank, either truck or trailer mounted & sprayed over prepared ground in a uniform layer.
Helicopters may be used in cases where larger areas must be covered. Aircraft application may also be used on burnt wilderness areas after a fire, & in such uses may contain a soil stabiliser only to avoid introducing non-native plant species.

Hydroseeding is an alternative to the traditional process of broadcasting or sowing dry seed.
It promotes quick germination & inhibits soil erosion.

The mulch in the hydroseed mixture helps maintain the moisture level of the seedlings.
The slurry often has other ingredients including fertilizer, tackifying agents, green or blue dye & other additives.

Hydroseeding is used to seed grass on commercial sites, highways or motorways, parks & golf courses, heavily damaged or burnt land, lawns & areas too large, inaccessible or unsuitable for conventional methods.

Once it is applied to the soil, it enhances growth by providing an ideal environment for seed germination.

Starting a lawn by hydroseeding is considerably cheaper than laying sod/turf & quicker than using seed.
It is also used to spread mixtures of wildflower & tree/shrub seeds or turf grasses for erosion control.
This is called sprigging (or hydrosprigging) when the slurry contains stolons or rhizomes instead of seed.

Water$ave HY Hydro is a blend of Water$ave & Flobind that can be efficiently applied for hydroseeding operations in mountainous areas or road embankments. Flobind maximises plant establishment & holds the components together preventing loss of material through wind & water erosion.

Water$ave HY Hydro prevents cellulose mulch from becoming hardpan during a dry spell. The mulch remains aerated allowing the seeds to sprout quickly. Water$ave HY also reduces the amount of mulch needed.

Water$ave HY Hydro's main benefits include:

• Enhances plant seeding, growth & survival.
• Increase the water holding capacity of soils.
• Reduce watering frequency by up to 50%.
• Protect the environment against drought & groundwater pollution.
• Improve physical properties of compact soil.
• Reduce water evaporation from soil.
• Limit leaching of nutrients & fertilizers.
• Improves soil porosity & aeration that stimulates plant growth.
• Non toxic, environmentally friendly & biodegradable.

Polymer Innovations Water$ave HY Hydro is highly effective in the young regrowth of trees, shrubs, bushes & saplings to assist in revegetation & reforestation.
