Abstract: A moisture holding material for blending with fill to form an engineered surface. The moisture holding material includes a first non-woven fabric coated in an aqueous superabsorbent polymer (SAP); a second non-woven fabric; fiber; and a fluff material that are chopped and applied topically within a surface, on various substrates including, but not limited to, rubber, sand, wood chippings, grass, soil, fiber, textile, clay or rock. A portion of the non-woven material is coated with SAP.

Abstract: A textile barrier apparatus includes an inner layer comprising an aqueous super absorbent polymer composition (SAP) and first and second outer textile layers attached to opposite sides of the inner layer. A landfill version includes an odor neutralizer, a biocide and/or a nutrient to support vegetation. A fire barrier version has the first and second outer textile layers including water permeable membrane and a fire retardant treatment. A planting groundcover version includes a patterned thickness of SAP corresponding to a planting pattern and a nutrient to support vegetation.
