NaturalTac™ Organic Tackifier
A premium organic Hydroseeding Tackifier, NaturalTac™ provides a valuable binding and lubricating agent for use with hydraulically applied seed and hydromulching operations. Tackifiers promote smooth operation of hydraulic seeding equipment while effectively holding loose straw mulches on the ground. NaturalTac™ tackifier can also provide a short-term, cost effective dust control solution.
NaturalTac™ Tackifier allows for greater spray distance, while improving fiber dispersal on soil contact. This produces a uniform erosion resistant cover and holds seed in place until vegetation grows and stabilizes. NaturalTac™ Tackifier is ideal for projects where the use of natural biodegradable and organic products free of toxic chemicals and harmful substances are preferred. It is environmentally safe to plant and animal life. NaturalTac™ guar is a plant based product derived from the ground endosperm of the guar plant. Dilatation rate is 10 to 15 pounds per 1,000 gallons of water, depending on application and machine capacity.

PermaMatrix™ Application:
NaturalTac™ provides excellent erosion control for PermaMatrix™ Biotic Soil Amendment. Apply at a rate of 50 pounds per acre on most sites; higher amounts will be needed on areas with a higher degree of erosion potential. NaturalTac™ organic tackifier will brake down with naturally occurring microorganisms and enzyme
Compounds of PermaMatrix™. The resulting by-products are simple sugars and water. These simple sugars could be an innovative alternative to herbicides and curb one of agricultures costly scourges – annual weeds. In a three year project by researchers from Charles Sturt University’s Institute for Land, Water and Society, sugar spread on plots was found to effectively inhibit or starve the growth of annual weeds, making way for the native grasslands to flourish. PermaMatrix™ combination with NaturalTac’s™ goal is to work out the best methods for re-establishing a native ecosystem that is diverse, self-sustaining and resistant to invasion by weeds.
