1 EcoSolutions Proven the World Over EcoFibre EcoFibre Plus Tackifier EcoBlend with TriFlo

2 Valued Solutions Delivered by World-Class Products No family of hydraulic mulches is more widely recognized around the globe than the EcoSolutions Series. Nowhere else will you find more or better ways to keep soil on site and establish dense vegetation faster with the highest quality wood fiber and cellulose/wood blends made from 100% Thermally Refined wood fibers. Regardless of the project, no matter where it s located in the world, trust there is an EcoSolutions product available to deliver the proven performance you need to get the job done right. As the world leader in hydraulic mulch production, Profile Products utilizes advanced processing techniques and stringent quality control standards to assure consistent performance. EcoSolutions products are a result of this industry-leading approach to quality and lasting satisfaction. Expanding on a proven record of world-class performance. EcoSolutions continually develops ways to increase the on-site value of its erosion control products. Innovative components have been engineered into these products to enhance ease of application, on-the-ground performance, and lasting dependability. EcoFibre Plus Tackifier, for example, provides extra protection on sites where slopes, soil or weather conditions call for additional erosion control. Every hydromulch product features 100% recycled and biodegradable fiber components. It s no surprise contractors from every corner of the globe prefer EcoSolutions over competitive products.

3 ROADSIDES SLOPES GOLF COURSES CONSTRUCTION ROADSIDES: EcoSolutions continues to be the brand more hydroseeders choose for transportation projects around the globe. SLOPES: The superior erosion control performance delivered by EcoSolutions wood fiber hydraulic mulch products is widely recognized as the industry standard. GOLF COURSES: EcoSolutions products deliver cost-effective turf establishment in high-profile, fine turf environments. CONSTRUCTION: Residential and commercial construction sites are good examples of how EcoSolutions products are utilized to solve a variety of challenges.

4 Superior fibers make a world of difference Thermally Refined Wood Fibers Atmospherically Refined Wood Fibers The photos above illustrate the 30% yield advantage of EcoSolutions both bowls contain 14 grams. EcoSolutions sets the global standard for outstanding erosion control and vegetative establishment by utilizing Thermally Refined wood processing combining high heat and pressure to create longer, finer and more highly absorbent fibers. These fibers when integrated into a matrix are proven to provide distinct on-site advantages. Greater yield: Thermally Refined fiber mulches deliver up to 30% more yield than competitive products. Seven bags of EcoSolutions mulch yield as much coverage and loft as 10 bags of competitive wood fiber mulch. Better coverage: Thermally Refined fiber mulches provide superior coverage with greater loft, resulting in more air and water-holding potential to support more complete germination and faster vegetation establishment. The larger volume of fiber more effectively reduces soil surface evaporation and resists erosion. Faster germination and establishment: Thermally Refined wood fiber mulch has significantly more water-holding capacity to enhance more rapid vegetative establishment. Greater productivity: Thermally Refined wood fiber mulch mixes more completely and shoots farther and more evenly so you ll get more done in less time. Better for the environment: EcoSolutions products are 100% biodegradable, leave no dangerous nets or threads, and are non-toxic to fish and wildlife. Applied at same rate. Compared to the same amount of other mulches, EcoSolutions (above) provide better coverage with greater loft. Proving the performance of Thermally Refined wood fibers Competitive wood fiber mulches typically use an atmospherically refined wood process that creates short, coarse fibers with less loft and interlock. This significantly impacts yield, coverage and water-holding capacity. As seen in the images below, Thermally Refined wood fibers have dramatically more surface area which generates greater yield, loft and coverage, and water-holding capacity compared to the coarse and shorter fibers produced from atmospherically refined wood.

5 Yield and coverage World-class: The increased volume of Thermally Refined wood fibers provides better soil surface coverage and loft for outstanding erosion control, seed germination and plant establishment. Greater loft equals greater coverage Visit to view side-by-side yield and coverage comparisons between Thermally Refined wood fibers and competitive fibers.» Scan to see video now Water-holding capacity World-class: Thermally Refined wood fibers absorb water better to create a more fluid slurry that stays in suspension longer, resulting in fewer clogs, better shooting distance and more uniform coverage. The added water in the mulch, and the ability to reabsorb and hold more water, greatly enhances seed germination and vegetation establishment. Water-Holding Comparison Typical Analysis 1500% 1000% 500% ATMOSPHERICALLY REFINED THERMALLY REFINED» This graph shows that Thermally Refined wood fiber holds 13.5 times its weight in water. Atmospherically refined wood fiber has up to 50% less water holding capacity.» Visit to see why the water-holding capacity of Thermally Refined wood fibers is so much greater than competitive fibers. 50% more water-holding capacity Scan to see video now

6 World-leading performance and outstanding value EcoSolutions wood and wood/cellulose hydraulic blend mulches are the better choice for a wide range of erosion control and turf establishment applications, including: Golf Courses Landfills Highway Projects Commercial Development Reclamation Pipelines Airports Recreational Areas Residential Properties EcoFibre This premium wood fiber mulch covers 20-30% more area with the same quantity of product compared to competitive wood fiber mulches due to the 100% Thermally Refined wood fibers. Longest fibers available Easy mixing Great performance with tanks or hoses Better matting ability No clumping or crusting More moisture-holding capacity Insurance against vegetation failure and callbacks EcoFibre Plus Tackifier This product offers all the advantages of EcoFibre 100% Thermally Refined wood fiber mulch, plus a high-strength organic tackifier to ensure a smooth hydroseeding operation. Pre-blended, evenly dispersed, no extra bags and field mixing Consistent, high-quality mixture No irritating tackifier dust clouds Quick dispersion in water Blends smoothly with seed and fertilizer Extra lubricity to the mixture reduces clogging EcoBlend with TriFlo The ultimate in hydraulic blend performance, this product combines 30% cellulose fiber and 70% Thermally Refined wood fibers. Delivers up to 15% greater coverage versus competitive blend products, an economical choice Provides greater yield and better loft compared to 100% cellulose Non-toxic and environmentally safe TriFlo: Improves moisture retention Improves the suspension of mulch, seed and fertilizer within the slurry; prevents dewatering of the fiber mulch Improves the application of hydraulic mulch for better coverage and enhanced product performance Improves application efficiency by increasing shooting distance and enhancing hose performance, greatly reducing downtime

For applications on steeper slopes, the maximum slope length may need to be reduced based on actual site conditions. Soil test before selecting the right mulch for the job Each EcoSolutions hydraulic mulch product has properties and performance characteristics that are best suited for different sites, and can be customized to meet specific project requirements. However, the quality of the soil these mulches cover is critical to the project s success. To ensure the mulches you choose produce the best results, you need a soil analysis. To assist you with that, EcoSolutions offers a free soil test. To get your free test, visit Use ProPlus additives for successful projects With a soil test you will know if additives are needed to modify a soil s chemistry to create the best environment for rapid establishment and vegetative growth. ProPlus accessories offer the most comprehensive line of hydraulic mulch additives to improve soil fertility and structure to assure effective on-site results. Improve the soil Prescriptive Agronomic Formulations correct deficiencies indicated through soil testing so seeds germinate more quickly and more completely, and plants develop deeper roots for more sustainable results. Improve the slurry Fiber mulch additives improve application efficiencies by making hydraulic slurries shoot farther and spread more evenly.
