Tackifiers

Granite Seed offers both inorganic and organic tackifiers for gluing hydraulic mulch, straw mulch, or controlling dust.

Granite Seed supplies acrylic co-polymer based inorganic tackifiers, which have the advantage of lasting longer in wetter conditions. During a wetting event the polymer material absorbs water, which allows the tackifier to go back into solution. Upon drying there is a new seal over the soil. These products are also used for long-term (one growing season) dust control.

However, a natural, plantago based tackifier has been traditionally been used by the hydraulic seeding industry for years.
