Erosion Control

Erosion control is the practice of preventing or controlling wind or water erosion in agriculture, land development, coastal areas, riverbanks and construction. Effective erosion controls are important techniques in preventing water pollution, soil loss, wildlife habitat loss and human property loss.

Asphalt products can be used as a cost effective solution for erosion control. The asphalt products can be sprayed as a protective cover to shield the soil from water and wind. Asphalt emulsions can be used as a tackifier in mulching systems.

Design Criteria

In designing a product for use in erosion control we have focused on the following key factors: an awareness of their ecological impact, low or no odor, non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-corrosive. Products need to meet MOE air quality standards for PM10 and PM2.5

Materials

Asphalt Emulsions:

Typically, erosion control emulsions are an economical solution that are formulated with a combination of special wetting agents to aid in penetration and interlocking of the soil.

Organic Emulsions:

Organic emulsions can be made from tree extracts and oil seeds. These emulsions can be formulated with a number of additives such as: wetting agents, water repellents and anti-rust inhibitors.

Performance Guidelines

In order to gain proper erosion control for your project or application be sure to follow the guidelines below:
