Spray Matt
SprayMatt is a hydraulically applied Bonded Fiber Matrix (BFM) manufactured from thermo-mechanical processed virgin wood fibers and a proprietary blend of cross-linked bonding agents. The BFM forms an intimate bond with the soil surface. The BFM is 100% biodegradable, and requires no additional tackifiers or additives to perform effectively as an erosion control technology and a germination catalyst for site re-vegetation. For optimal performance, the BFM may require a 24-48 hour curing period.
Mixing & Application
SprayMatt Bonded Fiber Matrix is mixed and applied with a standard mechanically agitated hydro seeding machinery. Mix BFM with approximately 100 gallons of water per 50 pound bale. Seed, fertilizer, and soil amendments may be added at specified rates to provide a one-step application for hydro seeding and erosion control projects. Apply BFM with a fan-type nozzle (50° tip), in a cross-directional method, to achieve a minimum of 95% soil surface coverage.
