When it comes to revegetating bare or disturbed land, getting seed to stay where it’s sprayed is half the battle. Whether you are working on steep embankments, exposed spoil piles or roadside cuttings, one unexpected rain event or strong gust of wind can set your project back to square one. That’s why experienced contractors, councils & civil engineers trust Water$ave Hydro-Tac; a high-performance tackifier that stabilises hydroseeding slurry & helps revegetation efforts take hold the first time.
Why Revegetation Fails Without Tackifiers
Hydroseeding is a fast, cost-effective method of establishing ground cover across large or uneven areas. It’s widely used in mining, civil works & environmental rehabilitation to restore vegetation on:
- Slopes & embankments
- Roadside verges
- Mine rehabilitation zones
- Landfills & disturbed earth
But even the best slurry mix complete with mulch, seed, fertiliser & water can fail if it doesn’t stay in place. Without a tackifier, rainfall or wind can shift the slurry, leaving patches of exposed soil vulnerable to erosion & delaying plant growth.
What Is Water$ave Hydro-Tac?
Water$ave Hydro-Tac is a linear anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) polymer specifically designed to act as a tackifier in hydroseeding applications. It binds the components of your slurry to the soil surface, improving coverage & reducing erosion until the vegetation establishes. Once sprayed, Hydro-Tac forms a flexible matrix that protects seeds, retains moisture & locks everything in place through rain, wind or slope runoff.
Key Benefits of Hydro-Tac in Revegetation Projects
Adding Hydro-Tac to your hydroseeding mix improves success rates, especially in challenging environments. Benefits include:
- Prevents seed & mulch from washing off
- Holds slurry in place on sloped or loose ground
- Reduces erosion & sediment movement
- Promotes even seed coverage & germination
- Safe for the environment & non-toxic
- Quick to mix & apply using standard hydroseeding equipment
With better slurry adhesion & surface stability, seeds are more likely to germinate & develop into healthy vegetation, even in exposed or weather-prone areas.
Proven Across Australian Conditions
From remote mine sites to council roadworks & landfill rehabilitation, Water$ave Hydro-Tac is used throughout Australia to support sustainable, compliant revegetation. Hydro-Tac is trusted by contractors who need results fast. It is especially effective on:
- Spoil piles & tailings
- Road & rail infrastructure corridors
- Civil slope stabilisation works
- Erosion-prone hillsides
- Land restoration & environmental offsets
Simple to Use, Powerful in Action
Water$ave Hydro-Tac is a loose, granule polymer & is easy to mix into your hydroseeder tank. It integrates seamlessly with common slurry ingredients including mulch, seed & fertiliser. This means no complex procedures or new equipment, just better results from the same system you're already using.
Make Your Revegetation Count
Revegetation isn’t just about planting seed, it’s about making sure that seed stays put & survives long enough to establish. Water$ave Hydro-Tac is a smart, proven solution to one of the most overlooked problems in hydroseeding: slurry stability. If your project involves slopes, wind exposure or the risk of rainfall, don’t risk your seed & your budget washing away.
