Introduction to Applegate's Wood Fiber Hydromulch With Tackifier, 50lbs Bale
Applegate® WOOD-LOK W/TAC
50lbs. Bale Wood Mulch With Tackifier
Applegate® WOOD-LOK W/TAC
is a natural wood fiber mulch for use in hydraulic planting with the extra holding power of a tackifier. It is the same high quality wood fiber as WOOD-LOK, to which 3% high grade organic tackifier is blended to enhance erosion protection.
When applied, the fibers tend to twist and lock with each other and the soil as they dry. With tackifier, the holding power of the fiber to the soil is stronger, thus providing increased erosion protection. The tackifier also holds the seeds in place and gives extra lubricity to the slurry, thus making pumping and application easier.
ADVANTAGES
Stronger bonding of the fibers to the soil. Increased erosion protection
Premixed blended tackifier disperses into slurry quickly for fast hydration
No gum balls as compared to adding tackifier directly in the tank
Eliminates the mess, waste and irritating dust that can occur when adding tackifier separately
All in one bag. Saves time in handling and mixing
WOOD-LOK W/TAC is fast to load in hydro-seeding equipment from easy to handle plastic bags. The fibers are sized for maximum loading in a tank, and they make a homogeneous slurry of water, seed and fertilizer. The fibers remain in suspension during agitation and pumping, and the slurry does not dewater when doing hose work.
The green color allows the operator to apply an even application of material over the soil surface. The green dye added to the fiber during manufacture is nontoxic. Caution should be used when spraying near concrete or buildings to prevent overspray from temporarily staining these items.
PRODUCT FEATURES

Fiber stays in uniform suspension and blends with seed and fertilizer.
High loading and goes into slurry quickly.
Forms stable mulching mat and holds the seed in place.
Provides favorable microclimate for faster germination.
Helps establish grasses for erosion control, as well as fine turf.
Green dye assists in even application.
Dye is nontoxic. Mulch has no growth inhibiting factors.
Fibers decompose after plants have established.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
WOOD-LOK W/TAC is a wood mulch manufactured to specific fiber sizes in a heat controlled environment to provide best job site performance. Fibrils and fiber bundles have physical features that tend to intertwine with each other forming a more protective mulching mat.
