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.
