Applied Polymer Systems Polyacrylamides (PAM)
Silt Stop
APS 600 and 700 Series Silt Stop are 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.
- mine tailings and waste piles
- newly cleared construction or building sites
- road and highway construction
- hydroseeding and water truck application
- hand spreading and ditch placement with APS 700 Series Silt Stop
- 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
