Product Overview
APS 600 Series Silt Stop® is a group of soil specific, tailored polyacrylamide co-polymer emulsions for erosion control. They reduce and prevent erosion of fine particles and colloidal clays from the soil into stormwater.
Primary Applications
- Mine Tailings and Waste Piles
- Newly cleared Construction or Building Sites
- Road and Highway construction
- Hydroseeding and Water Truck application
Features and Benefits
- Removes solubilized soils and clay from water
- Prevents colloidal solutions in water when applied to the soil surface
- Will reduce soil movement during rain event on moderate slopes
- Binds cationic metals within the soil matrix, reducing solubilization
- Reduces pesticide and fertilizer loss during rain events
- Reduces wind borne dust conditions
- Increases soil permeability and water penetration to shallow plants
- Reduces operational and cleanup costs
- Reduces environmental risk and compliance
Specifications / Compliances
- NSF/ANSI Standard 60 Drinking Water Grade Chemical
- Toxicity tested per EPA Guidelines
- Made in the USA
Packaging
- 600 Series Silt Stop® is packaged in 5 gallon pails
Directions for Use
- APS products should be matched to each site’s unique soil and/ or water. Please contact us to have your soil or water sample tested for FREE!
- Shake well before opening as separation may have occurred.
- APS 600 Series Silt Stop® Emulsions may be applied with hydroseeders, water trucks or other spraying devices. Spraying devices having a mechanical agitator or mixing apparatus or hydraulic recirculation will work best.
- Pour emulsion into the water tank or hydroseeder filling water stream or with a mixing apparatus operating, and pour emulsion into the filled tank. Allow emulsion to mix for one – two minutes before application. Seed, fertilizer, and mulch should be added into hydroseeders before the emulsion has been added
- APS 600 Series Silt Stop® Emulsion must be added at the end of the final mix and sprayed immediately. With the emulsion you must have 100% coverage
- Caution – Do not exceed 1.5 gallons of emulsion / 1500 gallons as viscosity of the water may reduce spraying efficiency or damage spraying equipment.
Application Rates
- Hydroseeding application rate (per acre coverage): varies by soil content and grade of slope
- Gentle to Moderate slopes (0-4:1)
- High Clay Content = 1-2 gallons 600 Series Silt Stop per acre
- High Sand Content = 2-3 gallons 600 Series Silt Stop per acre
- Steep Slopes (3:1 to 1:1)
- High Clay Content = 1-2.5 gallons 600 Series Silt Stop per acre
- High Sand Content = 2.5-3 gallon 600 Series Silt Stop per acre
