Improve Hydroseeding Results with Water$ave Polymers

Hydroseeding has quickly become one of Australia’s go-to solutions for revegetation, erosion control & large-scale land rehabilitation. It’s fast, cost-effective & provides uniform coverage, especially on difficult terrain like steep slopes or degraded mine sites. Although like any solution, success depends on the right mix of materials. That’s where Water$ave Hydro & Water$ave Hydro-Tac polymers can make all the difference.

These advanced polyacrylamide-based products, developed by Polymer Innovations, are designed to enhance water retention, improve mulch adhesion & deliver better seed germination outcomes across a wide range of environments.

Smarter Seeding with Water$ave

Hydroseeding works by spraying a slurry of seed, mulch, fertiliser & water across bare or disturbed ground. While the method itself is highly effective, the slurry is often vulnerable to wind displacement, water runoff & moisture loss, especially in the critical early stages of seed germination. Water$ave Hydro &  Water$ave Hydro-Tac were developed to solve these problems.

• Water$ave Hydro is a super absorbent polymer (SAP) that captures & stores moisture in the root zone. This helps seeds stay hydrated during germination, particularly in dry or sandy soils. By holding water where it's needed most, the polymer reduces how often you need to water while increasing strike rates. 
• Water$ave Hydro-Tac acts as a tackifier. It binds the mulch & seed mixture to the soil, helping to prevent erosion & slurry wash-off. This is particularly valuable on exposed slopes or during rain events where untreated slurries often fail to hold.

Backed by Polyacrylamide Science

Both Water$ave Hydro & Hydro-Tac are based on polyacrylamide—a water-soluble, environmentally safe polymer known for improving soil cohesion & reducing erosion. Polyacrylamide is widely used in agriculture, construction & land management because of its ability to reduce surface runoff & hold moisture in the soil.

When applied through hydroseeding, polyacrylamide solutions help anchor the seed-mulch matrix, minimise sediment movement & improve conditions for plant growth. This means better vegetation cover, even on difficult sites.

Proven Performance in the Field

These Water$ave products have been used successfully on mine sites, road embankments, civil projects & landfill caps. Contractors & councils across Australia rely on Water$ave to meet environmental compliance standards, reduce maintenance costs & achieve faster revegetation.

Both products are tailored for local soil types, climate conditions & regulatory standards. They’re non-toxic, easy to mix into a water cart & are compatible with other slurry additives.

The Right Start for Better Results

Successful revegetation isn’t just about applying seed; it’s about giving that seed the best chance to grow. By incorporating Water$ave Hydro & Hydro-Tac into your hydroseeding projects, you provide a stable, moisture-retentive environment that supports germination and long-term plant health.

Whether you’re working on a large-scale mine rehabilitation or a small roadside verge, the right polymer additives can make your work more efficient & your outcomes more reliable.
