Abstract
Hydraulically applied fiber matrix compositions for use on soils include a water-soluble, crosslinkable, hydratable gum, and a compound capable of crosslinking the water-soluble, crosslinkable, hydratable gum. The compositions may further include hydrocolloids and mulch. The hydraulically applied fiber matrix compositions are useful for hydroseeding and soil stabilization.
Claims22
A hydraulically applicable fiber matrix soil stabilization composition comprising;
- a tackifier composition comprising
- a water-soluble, crosslinkable, hydratable gum comprising an alginate;
- and
- a gel-forming ion capable of crosslinking the water-soluble, crosslinkable, hydratable gum;
- and
- a mulch having a mass of about 9 to about 45 times a mass of the gum.
3 more elements
A hydraulically applicable fiber matrix soil stabilization composition comprising;
- (a) about 0-10 wt % of a hydrocolloid comprising a starch;
- (b) about 1-10 wt % of a water-soluble crosslinkable hydratable gum comprising an alginate;
- (c) about 90-99 wt % of a mulch;
- and
- (d) about 0.01-10 wt % of a compound comprising a gel-forming ion capable of crosslinking the water-soluble, crosslinkable, hydratable gum.
2 more elements
A method of erosion control comprising:
- providing or obtaining a ground surface comprising a coating of a mulch;
- applying a tackifier composition to the ground surface to form a coating on the ground surface comprising a soil stabilization composition comprising the tackifier composition and the mulch, the tackifier composition comprising
- a water-soluble, crosslinkable, hydratable gum comprising an alginate, and
- a gel-forming ion capable of crosslinking the water-soluble, crosslinkable, hydratable gum;
- and
- wherein the mulch has a mass of about 9 to about 45 times a mass of the gum.
