A Soil Specific Emulsion Agent to Prevent Soil Erosion
EarthStop 200 Series
(Liquid Emulsion Soil Binder -Stabilizer - Dust Control)
EarthStop 200’s soil stabilizing effectiveness is created from specific chemical bonds within its chemistry. When blended with water, the bond exponentially grows and then it is immediately applied to the soil surface. Upon contact with the soil, it immediately creates a strong coagulating bond effect that will immediately be bound by the powerful chemical adherence. The soil particulates cannot be dislodged and will repel any chance for erosion.
EarthStop 200's unique polymer molecule formulation and those polymer molecules’ ability to bond with the surface materials. Its chemical structure is made of molecules attached in relatively straight-linked chains and then cross-linked among other chains or grids that maybe up to 25,000,000 molecules long.
EarthStop 200 Series yields proprietary one-of-a-kind polymer chemistry manufactured to rigid quality standards utilized in combination with field experience in all industrial, commercial and municipal environments.

Dry Form
EarthStop Powder may be applied by hand spreader, mechanical disc, or hand sowing. Slope or ditch application may require artificial support such as straw, or wood fiber mulch to reduce down slope movement. Areas of high water velocity will require benching or tier structuring to reduce velocity. Sheet flow applications are best. EarthStop Powder may be mixed with dry silica sand to aid in spreading. Ratios of sand to powder will vary in accordance with the type of spreading device used.
Liquid Form
EarthStop Powder may be applied with hydroseeders, water trucks or other spraying devices. All spraying devices must have a mechanical agitator, mixing apparatus or hydraulic recirculation.
Caution: Do Not mix powder into a spraying device that does not contain a mixing apparatus.

EarthStop 500 Series
EarthStop 500 Series is a soil specific polyacrylamide co-polymer crystal for erosion control. It reduces and prevents erosion of fine particles and colloidal clays from water. Earth Stop’s effectiveness results from the length and strength of its unique polymer molecule formulation and those polymer molecules’ ability to bond with the surface materials. Its chemical structure is made of molecules attached in relatively straight-linked chains and then cross-linked among other chains or grids that may be up to 25,000,000 molecules long. EarthStop yields proprietary one-of-a-kind polymer chemistry manufactured to rigid quality standards utilized in combination with field experience in all industrial, commercial and municipal environments.
