Hydraulic Soil Stabilization - Bonded Fiber Matrix
A bonded fiber matrix is a continuous layer of elongated fiber strands held together by a water-resistant bonding agent. It eliminates direct rain drop impact on soil, it allows no gaps between the product and the soil and it has a high water-holding capacity. A bonded fiber matrix will not form a water insensitive crust that can inhibit plant growth, and it will biodegrade completely into materials known beneficial to plant growth.
Bonded fiber matrix products are used for temporary erosion control, where blankets are impractical and/or too expensive, and other mulching methods are inadequate to do the job.
The term is being accepted with the erosion control industry to categorize hydraulically applied products which are designed, tested and proven to match or exceed the performance of erosion control blankets.
Bonded fiber matrix can be applied prior to a rainy season or late in the year. Although regular mulch can handle less steep slopes, the bonded fiber matrix is formulated to endure the harsh conditions of heavy rains and snow, giving plants time enough to establish themselves.
Twin City Hydro Seeding is a certified shooter of Type 5, 6 and Type 8 bonded fiber matrix hydro mulches.
