DSS 40 - Acrylic Copolymer

What is DSS 40?

DSS 40 Acrylic Copolymer is a liquid soil stabilizer which prevents wind and water erosion by penetrating into the soil structure and bonding the soil particles together to minimize erosion potential. DSS 40 forms a plastic film upon drying that allows water and air to penetrate yet cements the soil particles together to create a tough layer of protection.

DSS 40 is a water emulsified binder composed primarily of latex acrylic-balanced copolymers-- which is blended with water and applied as a spray over exposed soil. It can be used alone as a protective layer against wind and water erosion or in combination with straw, fibers, and seed in hydroseeding applications. When applied at manufacturer's recommended application rates, DSS 40 is non-toxic to plant and animal life and non-staining on concrete and painted surfaces.

Applications:

• Dust Control, Winterization of Slopes, Hydroseeding & Mulching Tackifier, Sand Stabilization
• Airfields and Runways
• Hydroseeding and Hydromulching
• Commercial and Residential
• Landfills
• Landscaping
• Mining Operations
• Forestry and Parks
• Recreational Areas
• Highways, Roadsides and Railways
• Temporary Construction Projects

Features:

Adaptable - DSS 40 works in a wide range of conditions and soil types providing protection against wind and water erosion as well as dust abatement and blow sand.

Safe - DSS 40 is safe for animals and plant life and can be sprayed over existing vegetation without harm. DSS 40is Non-toxic, Non-flammable, and Non-corrosive.
