PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

XL™ is a liquid crosslinking additive to improve functional longevity of guar gum and mulch matrices.

TYPICAL PROPERTIES

  • Appearance Light to Dark Liquid
  • Bulk Density 1.2 g/cc
  • Ionic Character Nonionic
  • pH 3.3 +/- 0.5

APPLICATION GUIDELINES

XL™ is an insolubilizing additive for guar gum solutions. XL™ can be used to increase solution viscosity and/or to decrease the solubility of the guar polymer once cured. Specific conditions may exist for erosion control that requires long term matrix stabilization.

XL™ is used to insolubilize the guar polymer, thus increasing the longevity of its adhesion qualities. Once cured, the guar gum-based tackifier will resist re-wetting for an extended period of time.

PREPARATION

For erosion control the liquid XL™ is added to the water prior to the guar gum tackifier.

It is recommended that XL™ be added at 40% of the guar, e.g. for a 40% rate, 20 lbs of XL™ is added per 50 lbs of guar.

STORAGE and HANDLING

XL™ should be stored in a dry, cool warehouse protected from damage to packaging.

PACKAGING

XL™ is packaged in 1 gallon (10lbs per gallon) plastic containers, 4 gallons per case.
