TERRAVEST®
GROUND TACKIFIER


 Applications:
Mining dumps, steep slopes, ski pistes, sand deposition sites, landfill sites, ash depositions, coal and ore dumps, leisure and sport areas, roof gardens.

Advantages:
  • Simple handling as mix is sprayed directly onto the ground (mix comprises water, fertilizer, ground improver, seed and Terravest).
  • Optimum wind and water erosion protection thanks to the rapid, three-dimensional crosslinking molecules in the ground surface (up to 20 mm).
  • Reinforcing the ground surface prevents the fertilizer from being quickly washed away into the sub-soil.
  • The ground surface is not sealed by the cured Terravest, it retains its absorbency for precipitation. Germination and plant growth are also not hindered.
  • Seed consumption by birds and ants is reduced by 40%.
  • The reinforcement is frost-resistant and works on both acidic and alkaline soils.
  • The soil ecology will not be affected.
  • Terravest will decompose to carbon dioxide and water after around 6 months due to the heat, light (UV rays) and oxygen naturally present in the environment.
