Product Overview
APS Erosion Stop® is a polyacrylamide (PAM)-based flocculant that stabilizes soil to reduce erosion and improve runoff quality. Applied to exposed soil surfaces, it creates a barrier that holds particles in place, especially on steep slopes or embankments. Developed and packaged in the U.S., Erosion Stop is drinking water safe and rigorously tested for non-toxicity in both land and aquatic environments.
Binds Soil to Reduce Erosion and Improve Runoff Quality
Effective on Slopes, Embankments, and Vulnerable Areas
Environmentally Safe and Easy to Apply
Primary Applications
- Tackifier for hydromulch, straw, and/ or other agricultural fibers and landscape mulches
- Soil stabilizer – agglomerates and holds the top layer of soil in place while allowing infiltration
Features and Benefits
- Rapidly binds soil particles to stabilize soil, minimize erosion, and decrease runoff turbidity
- Holds seed, soil, bacteria, nutrients, and fertilizer in place and prevent mobilization during rain
- Improves water infiltration into soil surface and aids in vegetative establishment & reduced runoff
- Increases water holding capacity, penetration and improved crop/ vegetation yields (USDA research)
- Naturally derived and biodegradable
- Easy to apply via hydroseeding or water truck
- Effective & affordable
Common Applications
- Erosion and Dust Control on construction sites with exposed soils
- Protecting slopes and recently graded areas from erosion, reducing turbidity in stormwater, and mitigating fugitive dust to achieve regulatory compliance
- Mining operations with haul roads, tailings, and/or spoil piles
- Linear construction of roads, pipelines, and utility corridors
- Mass grading projects like solar, wind, and housing developments
- Improve performance of hydromulch slurries – lubricates viscous mulch matrixes, like BFMs/FRMs and helps maintain hydraulic pressure when pumping long distances for “hose work”.
Application Rates
Erosion Stop® liquid:
1-3 gallons per acre (moderate slopes)
3-5 gallons per acre (steep slopes)
Tackifier: 1 gallon/ acre
Erosion Stop® granular:
10-25 pounds per acre (moderate slopes)
25-50 pounds per acre (steep slopes)
Tackifier: 3-5 lbs./ acre
Precautions / Limitations
- Use only as directed – exceeding suggested application rates will not improve performance.
- Do not exceed 10 lbs. granular/ 1000 gallons of water, or 1 gallon liquid in 1000 gallons of water to prevent clogging hydroseeding/ spray equipment
- Avoid inhaling dust/ powder, may cause irritation. Use dust mask when applying Erosion Stop® granular.
- Clean up spills quickly. Do not use water unless necessary, extremely slippery conditions will result.
- Consult manufacturer (Applied Polymer Systems) or authorized distributor for assistance
