  • Composite fiber environmental filtration media containing flocculant
    Publication number: 20070095747
    Abstract: Filtration media (5) containing natural fiber and a flocculant are effective to flocculate fine particles from runoff in sloped land, ditches, gullies, and construction sites. The filtration media may be in the form of a substantially planar mat product (8), e.g. an erosion control mat, or in tubular form (6).

  • Mandrel-wound flocculant-containing fiber filtration tubes
    Publication number: 20060291963
    Abstract: Fiber filtration tubes containing flocculant are produced by winding a preformed mat of natural fibers about a mandrel. The tubes may be joined end to end to produce products of significant length, and are highly suitable in removing even very fine sediment during use in erosion control.

  • Netless fiber mulch mats bound with bicomponent fibers
    Publication number: 20060070294
    Abstract: Natural fiber mulch mats are prepared from natural fibers, bicomponent fibers, and optionally other synthetic fibers, and consolidated at a temperature sufficient to melt a lower melting polymer of the polymers used to prepare the bicomponent fiber. The mulch mat may be prepared without conventional binders and without a polymer netting, yet exhibits good handling properties and superior water holding properties as compared to melting-containing products, without the drawbacks of the latter.

  • Mulching pellets
    Patent number: 6076299
    Abstract: Mulching pellets made from fmely divided paper and wood, a clay binder, a highly water absorbent natural polymer, and a surfactant. The pellets absorb at least four times their weight in water. The pellets substantially reduce water run-off and soil erosion as compared to other mulch pellets.
