HYDROSTRAW BONDED FIBER MATRIX - CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE

Transcription

1

2 DESCRIPTION- HydroStraw Bonded Fiber Matrix is designed to be more cost effective than blankets and cost less to apply per acre than conventional BFM mulches on difficult sites, slopes and adverse soil conditions where extra erosion prevention is needed. The product includes long natural fibers for maximum matrix entanglement for improved performance. The combination of fiber entanglement in conjunction with our cross linked high-strength polymer binders produce great erosion prevention and vegetation establishment. HYDROSTRAW BONDED FIBER MATRIX - Patents Pending Manufacturer: HydroStraw, LLC 3676 W 9000N Rd Manteno, IL Toll Free: Fax: info@hydrostraw.com HydroStraw, LLC certifies that HydroStraw BFM contains the following properties and characteristics Physical Characteristics Toxicity Applied Color Sufrace Tension Absorbancy Non-Toxic Green Material will evenly disperse and suspend when agitated in water When sprayed uniformly at the recommended rate, the mulch fibers form an absorbent mulch cover which will allow percolation of water and increased water infiltration to the underlying soil matrix Solubility Mulch Fibers are non water soluble PH /- 0.5 Average Fiber Length 1/2" +/- 1/4" HydroStraw Bonded Fiber Matrix in field tests has shown that the annually renewable heat and mechanically treated straw fibers in this product improves seeds germination and vegetation establishment. Research has shown that vegetation is many times better than temporary mulches in erosion prevention. Thereby the ultimate goal is creating an environment for rapid vegetation establishment with seed friendly straw fibers. HydroStraw Bonded Fiber Matrix consists of annually renewable heat and mechanically treated straw fibers, environmentally safe, fibers that are biodegradable and a non-toxic green colorant to aid in application. Field tests have shown HydroStraw mulch protects soil and enhances seed germination and vegetation establishment as the fibers bio-degrades. (V.E.M.

3 HYDROSTRAW, LLC Patents Pending Manufacturer: HydroStraw, LLC 3676 W 9000N Rd Manteno, IL Toll Free: Fax: info@hydrostraw.com HydroStraw, LLC certifies that HydroStraw Original contains the following properties and characteristics DESCRIPTIONHydroStraw Original is a a hydraulically applied mulch with a specially formulated composition of annually renewable straw fiber, cellulose, natural fibers for fiber matrix entanglement, and a non toxic soil stabilizer. SPECIFICATIONSThe primary fiber shall be produced from annually renewable straw fiber; all fiber materials should be free from plastic materials or other non bio-degradable substances. Fiber shall be of such character that the fiber will disperse into a uniform slurry when mixed with water.. Fiber shall be colored green, and shall not stain concrete or other surfaces. Fiber and other mulch ingredients shall be free from growth or germination inhibiting ingredients. Mulch Fiber shall be applied as a slurry solution by means of hydroseeder. MIXTURE RATES 60 lbs per 100 Gallons for hose work 75 lbs per 100 gallons for tower work Increased performance can be achieved by mixing infield a hydro-colloid tackifier such as guar per manufacturer s recommended rates. It is imperative that the mulch be applied at the specified rate: too wet of a mixture will cause the fibers to be buried into soil. Mulch Fiber shall be applied as a slurry solution by means of hydroseeding. Mulch Fiber shall be applied at the specified rate per the specifications in a uniform manner. Care shall be exercised to ensure that the mulch application is uniform and even throughout the seeded area; mulch shall not be bunched or clumped up on the site. Care shall also be taken as to not create a shadowing effect on the site, mulch applications shall be started on the windward side of the project. Physical Characteristics Toxicity Non-Toxic Applied Color Green Sufrace Tension Material will evenly disperse and suspend when agitated in water Absorbancy Solubility Mulch Fibers are non water soluble PH /- 0.5 Average Fiber Length 1/2" +/- 1/4" Packaging and Shipping Data Bag Size 11.5" x 17" x 25" Bag Weight 50 lbs. - Compressed Bales Pallet 40 bags (52W x 45D x 96H) Full Truck 22 Pallets, 880 Bales Packaging Moisture resistant packaging Composition Heat & Mechanically Treated (HMT ) - Straw 84.0% +/- 1.0% Natural Fibers 4.0% +/- 1.0% Moisture 10.0% +/- 1.0% Fiber Binder 2.0% +/- 1.0% Slope Gradient/Condition 4:1 3:1 2:1 WARRANTY When sprayed uniformly at the recommended rate, the mulch fibers form an absorbent mulch cover which will allow percolation of water and increased water infiltration to the underlying soil matrix lb/acre 2,000 lbs/ac 2,000-3,000 lbs/ac 3,000-4,000 lbs/ac HydroStraw, LLC warrants that its products are free from defects and will perform as stated in this literature.

4 HYDROSTRAW GUAR PLUS Patents Pending Manufacturer: HydroStraw, LLC 3676 W 9000N Rd Manteno, IL Toll Free: Fax: info@hydrostraw.com HydroStraw, LLC certifies that HydroStraw Guar Plus contains the following properties and characteristics DESCRIPTIONHydroStraw Guar Plus is designed to provide extra protection on difficult sites where slopes, soil conditions or where weather call for extra erosion control ability. It also includes a highstrength polymer binder to ensure smooth hydro seeder operation. This pre-blended product eliminates the extra step and mess of field mixing. HydroStraw Guar Plus includes an additive to reduce guar gum break down by rain fall events. Guar gum tackifier enhances the chemical bond within the mulch matrix for better erosion control, disperses quickly in water, which allows for better blending with seed and fertilizer.
