Tackifibers™ are 1/2" polypropylene fibers specially formulated to enhance the performance of hydraulically-applied protein-rich mulch and soil binder/tackifier seeding slurries.

When added to standard slurry mixtures, Tackifibers create a highly tenacious, stable mulch mat. This durable mat mechanically bonds tightly to the soil surface and:

  • Protects germinating seeds from wind and water erosion.
  • Allows the soil to breath.
  • Provides structural integrity to the binder slurry.

Increased Holding Power
Tackifibers greatly enhance the holding performance of mulches and tackifiers by providing mechanical cross bonding of fibers. Unlike short term, water-soluble tackifiers, Tackifibers persist under prolonged periods of wet weather.

Holds For Full Season
Photo-degradable Tackifibers are designed to hold the soil for a full growing season. As photo-degradation progresses, the fibers are broken down into shorter and shorter segments, which become part of the soil and then undergo biological degradation.

Tackifibers Advantages

  • Reduces bulk! Maintains predetermined holding performance with less mulch/tackifier.
  • High tenacity, even in wet conditions.
  • Consistent, long fiber length.
  • Enhances the holding performance of mulch/tackifiers.
  • Increases spray distance.
  • Reduces paper mulch mache effect.

Application Instructions
Apply Tackifibers at a rate of 20 lbs [40 lbs] per acre. While loading hydroseeder tank with water + organic soil amendments + binders, and with agitator in operation, slowly add Tackifibers to tank by vigorously shaking and dispersing handfuls of fibers. This will prevent clumping of the fibers and potential plugging of the equipment. Once hydroseeder is driven to seeding site, add seed.

Ease Of Use
Tackifibers are economical and easy to use, improving spraying performance while providing tremendous binding power with minimal bulk. Excellent for use in tandem with the new environmentally-sensitive, heavy-duty soil binder Atlas SoilLok, eliminating the need for wood fiber mulch.

Economical Price
$3.65 per lb in 20-lb bags. Plus shipping. Prices subject to change.
