DOT Highway & Roadway High Viscosity Soil Matrix Amendment
in Ohio
Frequent storms and massive surface runoff will wash out your site without rigorous temporary controls. You must spray hydraulically applied erosion control products (HECPs) to get your vegetation growing fast. Condition the moisture and mix Portland cement into saturated clay loams to stabilize the subsoil.
Operational Constraints for DOT Highway Expansion
Highway expansions and road widenings expose massive, continuous steep slopes directly adjacent to active traffic. The constant wind shear from passing heavy commercial vehicles and earth-moving equipment vibration degrade weak agricultural tackifiers long before vegetation can establish. Furthermore, contractors must apply the matrix across extended linear distances, requiring a slurry that sprays efficiently from the cannon without cavitating the hydroseeder pump. You need an engineered binder that provides extreme shear resistance to protect the embankment, prevent subgrade failure, and keep the roadway clear of sediment runoff.
Meeting ODOT Construction and Material Specifications Supplemental Specification 832 Specifications
OHRA GreenTack anchors seed and mulch directly to the subsoil, providing the rain-fast shear strength required by ODOT Construction and Material Specifications Supplemental Specification 832. Its microplastic-free botanical hydrocolloid network forms a 3D matrix. It resists high-velocity storm runoff and keeps synthetic toxins out of the watershed.
The matrix prevents "fisheye" lumping inside your hydroseeder pump. This stops pump cavitation and reduces friction head loss. You maximize your tank's spray payload and eliminate constant agitation adjustments on the job site.

Field Troubleshooting Guide
| Field Symptom | Likely Cause | Immediate Job-Site Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Slurry Too Thick / Hard to Pump | Exceeded recommended loading ratio | Add 50 gallons water & agitate 2 mins |
| Foam Overflowing Tank Hatch | High-shear agitation air entrainment | GreenTack maintains a low-foaming profile during high-shear agitation |
| Nozzle Spitting or Clogging | Commodity tackifier agglomerations (fisheyes) | GreenTack's dispersion modifiers prevent fisheye formation |
