Through its patent-pending blend of straw and cotton plant material, the GeoSkin® hydromulch series covers the soil providing a honeycomb layer of protection to promote excellent vegetation establishment. Additionally, a patent-pending blend of additives and tackifiers combine to ease application, enhance adhesion, retain moisture and provide soil stability.
This exciting new line of products from North American Green complements the HydraMatriCx™ Series of high-performance, hydraulic erosion control products (HECPs). The GeoSkin Series of hydromulch is often used on mild to moderate slopes and competes well with wood hydromulch, wood and paper blends, wood with tack, or blend with tack. GeoSkin Series hydromulch is also a good alternative to blown straw as it is applied in a one-step process as opposed to a two- or three-step process (i.e., apply seed, apply straw, crimp or apply tack) for seed and straw applications.
In comparison, GeoSkin hydromulch contains tackifiers for erosion protection and vegetation establishment on mild to moderate slopes, while GeoSkinXT hydromulch is fortified with extra tackifiers for stronger bonding on moderate slopes.
EPA New Effluent Guidelines
The GeoSkin Series of hydromulches can keep you in compliance with the EPA's new effluent guidelines without having to treat water with flocculants or advanced water treatment systems.
On December 1, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published new effluent limitation guidelines (ELGs) and new source performance standards (NSPS) regulating the discharge of pollutants from construction sites, 40 C.F.R. Part 450. The guidelines became effective on February 1, 2010. The EPA expects the new technology-based guidelines to reduce the discharge of sediment and other pollutants from construction sites by 4 billion pounds per year. Read more…
Soil Stays Put So Seed Can Take Root and Grow
GeoSkin hydromulch and it companions HydraCX2™ Extreme Slope Matrix™ and HydraCM™ Steep Slope Matrix™ have a beneficial carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, which is important for soil quality and grass growth. In short, soil stays put and is nurtured so seed can take root and grow.
