Hydraulic Mulches
From ACF West
About Hydraulic Mulches
Significant advances in the hydraulically applied mulch technology have brought it into the forefront of erosion control. ACF West has lead the way with distribution of the first mechanically bonded fiber matrix available in North America. We have expanded our role in the growing market to include a complete line of mulch products. From lawn seeding to stabilizing a 1:1 side slope in the rain, we have a product that will perform.

NaturesOwn
A wood cellulose fiber mulch manufactured from clean, recycled newspaper. Fast to load from easy-to-handle bales, mixes easily with water and virtually eliminates clogs or plugging. Flows smoothly and gives you uniform distribution. Provides all the benefits of wood and paper mulch combined. Ideal for hydro-seeding and strawtacking applications. Typical projects include highways, golf courses, reclamation, and residential/commercial landscaping.

CocoFlex™ ET-FGM Extended Term-Flexible Growth Medium is designed with blended coconut and wood fibers, crimped interlocking man-made fibers and additives that are engineered to perform under extreme conditions. CocoFlex ET-FGM provides superior protection up to two years—making it the highest performing, longest-lasting hydraulically applied erosion control product on the market. This patented technology requires no cure time and provides superior slope protection over rolled Erosion Control Blanket (ECB) and Bonded Fiber Matrix (BFM) products. Plus, it can be combined with other erosion control technologies such as turf reinforcement mats to accommodate a broad range of conditions. Provides protection up to two years—the longest-lasting hydraulically applied erosion control product on the market. Offers the fastest growth establishment—1500% water holding capacity delivers more moisture to the seedbed for faster germination and accelerated growth.

EcoAegis® is a Bonded Fiber Matrix (BFM) that sprays on like a mulch, but dries to form a porous, breathable and water insoluble mat that bonds firmly with the soil, prevents erosion and saves time and money. EcoAegis combines the low cost and ease of application of hydroseeding, the protection of a blanket and the advantages of a mulch. Our mat protects seeds and enhances germination; then it slowly decomposes over time into carbon dioxide and organic matter to further aid in plant development. Its protection of seed and soil lasts for a period of 6 to 12 months, giving vegetation time to establish and take hold for long-term slope stabilization.

EcoFibre™ Plus Tackifier is designed to provide extra protection on difficult sites where slopes, soil conditions or weather call for extra erosion control ability. It offers all the advantages of our EcoFibre™ 100% Thermally Refined® wood fiber mulch, plus a high-strength polymer binder to ensure a smooth hydroseeding operation. Field tests consistently confirm that tackifiers perform better with wood mulch. The long fibers of EcoFibre Plus Tackifier mesh together, interlocking to one another and to the soil. While the tackifier improves the holding power, there’s no risk of a paper-mache effect.

EcoFibre® premium wood fiber mulch covers the same area with 20-30% less product than cellulose mulches due to our 100% Thermally Refined® wood fibers. EcoFibre has a non-toxic, green color added to assist in even application and allow
it to blend in with the environment. EcoFibre initially protects seeds and enhances germination—and continues making a difference by decomposing into carbon dioxide, water and organic matter to further aid plant development.

A one-step, hydraulically-applied Stabilized Mulch Matrix (SMM) erosion control system, EcoMatrix™ is formulated to hold soil in place immediately upon application, even during the drying and curing stage. It is designed for use on pads and slopes from flat to a maximum grade of 2H:1V. EcoMatrix is pre-mixed for maximum wet strength. Our blending process ensures the additives are uniformly mixed in the fiber. It is sprayed on like a hydromulch, allowing the wood fibers to naturally interlock, and when dry, the matrix forms a porous, breathable, erosion-resistant mat that completely biodegrades over time. To resist dispersion and leaching from rain, the bonding compounds are cross-linked; thus, mat integrity is strong and provides excellent erosion protection for a period of three to six months.

Flexterra FGM is designed using patented technology that immediately bonds to the soil, providing slope protection superior to rolled Erosion Control Blankets (ECBs) and Bonded Fiber Matrix (BFM) products—with the speed and cost savings of hydraulic seeding. It can be applied using mechanically agitated hydraulic seeding equipment over uneven terrain and rough seedbeds.

Hydro-Blanket BFM Bonded Fiber Matrix controls erosion on steep slopes in a quick, safe, and easy hydraulic application. It is less expensive and faster to install than blankets or sod and more effective than blankets, competitive BFMs and conventional hydraulic mulches. Extensive testing proves that Hydro-Blanket BFM controls erosion more completely than competitive BFMs on steep slopes subjected to heavy rains.

Terra-Matrix™ SMM Stabilized Mulch Matrix is specially formulated to provide cost-effective stabilization of soils on active construction and building sites. Unlike polymeric stabilizers comprised of flocculants that need to be blended on site, the pre-blended combination of Thermally Refined® wood fibers, proprietary crosslinked tackifiers and activators anchor the fiber matrix to the soil surface. Hydraulically applied Terra-Matrix creates a non-toxic, erosion resistant blanket that prevents polymer leaching and dispersion of soil particles. The university-tested Terra-Matrix formulation is designed to stand up to multiple rainfall events.
