Stop up to 99% of sheet erosion with a waterproof, long‑lasting polymer seal that protects exposed surfaces from rain and wind while supporting vegetation for long-term stabilization.Why TeraFil

  • Treats the source, not the symptom: Instead of relying primarily on sediment capture systems (silt fences, check dams, ponds), TeraFil’s sprayed-on polymers bind and seal the topsoil where erosion starts.
  • Rapid, proven performance: Formulations immediately penetrate and bind the soil surface to resist impact and sheet erosion and maintain protection through weather cycles.
  • Vegetation-friendly: Non-toxic formulas support seed germination and root establishment so biological stabilization develops beneath the protective film.
  • Durable and waterproof: Forms a bonded, flexible layer tied to underlying material that resists runoff and wind scouring for long-term protection.
  • Low-maintenance: Reduces need for continual inspection and repair associated with traditional sediment control structures.

Applications

  • Roadworks and highway embankments — protection of newly cut slopes and verge areas from rain wash and wind erosion; critical where runoff from bitumen and concrete increases erosion risk.
  • Mining & exploration — stabilization of access tracks, drill pads, spoil piles and disturbed surfaces to reduce sedimentation of waterways and minimize environmental footprint.
  • Bulk stockpiles and terminals — wind erosion control for ore, coal, tailings, and other commodities stored in exposed conditions.
  • Construction sites, landfills and reclaimed sites — temporary to long-term erosion and dust control while revegetation establishes.
  • Extreme and sodic soils — effective on soils prone to dispersion where clay swelling and aggregate breakdown make surfaces particularly vulnerable.

Product Features & Performance

  • Immediate surface cohesion: GRT: Enviro-Binder binds soil particles on contact to resist raindrop impact and sheet flow.
  • Broad-area wind protection: GRT: Soil-Loc creates a flexible matrix that resists wind scouring over large exposed areas and stockpiles.
  • Waterproof yet vapor-permeable: Creates a protective film that sheds surface water while allowing moisture exchange needed for seed and root health.
  • Non-toxic and environmentally compatible: Formulated to be safe for soils and native vegetation; supports revegetation programs.
  • Compatible with seeding: Can be applied in conjunction with hydroseeding, tackifiers, or native seed mixes.
  • Proven in multiple environments: Field trials demonstrate effective, longer-lasting control vs. many traditional erosion-control alternatives.

Technical & Application Notes

  • Application methods: Sprayed or hydraulic application from mobile tanks, hydroseeding rigs, or agricultural sprayers. Coverage rates and dilution ratios vary by soil type, slope, and exposure — site-specific recommendations available.
  • Typical coverage: Coverage depends on soil texture, slope, and seed inclusion; product data sheets provide recommended rates for light, medium and heavy exposure scenarios.
  • Curing and re-application: Surface cures to a bonded layer; certain extreme exposures or prolonged degradation may require periodic re-application for long-term projects.
  • Storage and handling: Stable under standard storage conditions; follow safety and handling instructions on the technical data sheet and SDS.

Environmental & Safety

  • Non-toxic and formulated to support plant growth.
  • Reduces off-site sediment and turbidity loads by preventing source erosion.
  • Helps meet regulatory requirements for sediment and erosion control at construction and mining sites.
  • SDS and environmental impact information available on request.

Typical Project Outcomes

  • Immediate reduction in surface runoff detachment and sediment mobilization.
  • Reduced maintenance and repair costs compared with repeated silt fence and check-dam replacements.
  • Faster establishment of vegetation and natural soil structure reformation.
  • Reduced environmental compliance risk from sediment discharge and dust emissions.

Support & Services

  • Site evaluation and specification: TeraFil offers site assessment and product selection guidance based on soil type, slope, exposure and revegetation goals.
  • Application training & QA: On-site training for application crews and quality-assurance inspections to ensure correct coverage and performance.
  • Technical datasheets, SDS, and case studies: Detailed performance data, coverage charts and documented field results available for project planning and approvals.
