DirtGlue®Enterprises offers two brands of DirtGlue®Polymer Emulsions, for either light surface applications or heavier industrial applications such as the stabilization of light and heavy duty driving surfaces. The emulsions bond the individual soil particles together, forming a flexible crust that strengthens the surface of the soil. Our products are suitable in such environmentally sensitive areas as wetland buffer zones.
Similar to a “bonded fiber matrix” product, which combines fibers and bonding materials to form a protective crust, DirtGlue®can be combined with any fiber type (straw, wood fiber, paper fiber, and gypsum) to “glue” mulch materials to steep embankments.
DirtGlue®uses a proactive approach to environmental issues on a construction site. Excavation contractors know that a disturbed site will produce sediment and siltation, so they use silt fences and hay bales to catch the fines moving with the runoff (a reactive approach). DirtGlue®prevents the fines from moving in the first place, creating a proactive approach.
An interesting note is that DirtGlue®has been used in flood-prone areas to make temporary berms to block impending floodwaters.
