Gorilla-Snot®
An alternative to Soiltac, Gorilla-Snot is the value-engineered version of Soiltac. Like Soiltac, it is an eco-safe, biodegradable, liquid copolymer used to provide erosion control and dust suppression.
The innovative product is a biodegradable, copolymer-based dispersion that is primarily designed to control dust and erosion. Gorilla-Snot is comprised of long, nanoparticle molecular structures that link and cross-link together to form strong bonds between particulates, soils and aggregates. The solution is designed to be easily applied topically to almost any soil or aggregate. A modest application will create a light surface crust that remains water permeable for air and water, yet perfect for controlling dust and suppressing PM10 and PM2.5 particulate matter to maintain air quality and visibility. Increased applications of Gorilla-Snot are highly effective for roads and other traffic areas. The product is engineered to penetrate into the ground creating a strong and resilient, yet flexible, surface wear course that can withstand the intense abuse of vehicle traffic and environmental conditions.

Kind to the Environment
Gorilla-Snot is a biodegradable, copolymer-based dispersion that is primarily designed to control dust and erosion. It’s non-hazardous, meaning it’s safe for the environment and safe to transport by land, sea or air. Gorilla-Snot will not migrate away from treated areas and will not seep into the groundwater. It will not wash away in the rain and it does not re-emulsify with water.
BENEFITS
- Water Resistant
- Non-Flammable & Non-Volatile
- Dries Odorless

- Non-Leaching (Will not continue to seep into soil or ground water)
- Dries Flexible / Elastomeric (Not Brittle)
- Alkaline Soil Resistant (Resists breakdown in alkaline soils)
- Non-Dissipating (Will not wash away with water once cured)
- Human, Animal, Marine Life & Vegetation Safe
- Biodegradable
- Cumulative Effect with Maintenance
- Non-Regulated for Transportation (Land/Sea/Air)
- Ultraviolet Ray Resistant
- Non-Tracking & Non-Transferable Once Cured
- Self-Mixes with Water for Diluting (Prior to applying to soil)
- Ecologically & Environmentally Safe
- PM10 & PM2.5 Compliant (Stops dust particles of 2.5+ microns in size)

DURASOIL
A revolutionary patented, state-of-the-art synthetic dust suppression fluid; engineered for today’s most challenging intense-use dust control needs. This ultra-pure non-petroleum based fluid with GTL technology is made from clean, plentiful natural gas and is distinctively crystal clear, odorless and formulated to meet the highest standards of environmental efficacy.
SOILTAC
When Soiltac is applied to the soil, the copolymer molecules coalesce and form bonds between the soil or aggregate particles. Long nanoparticle molecular structures link and cross-link together forming a flexible solid-mass that is durable and water resistant.
GreenArmor System
Why Do We Recommend This Product?
“Actually, more of a ‘system’ than a product, Green Armor is the combination of Futerra Permanent Turf Reinforcement Mat (TRM) and Flexterra Flexible Growth Medium. Futerra’s open and lofty matrix design is ideal to be in-filled with Flexterra. This overcomes the slow grow-in of virtually all other TRMs where the mat is installed over the mulch. The tight weave of competing TRMs forces the grass to fight its way through the product, instead of growing from within the mat itself. With three different weights of Futerra, plus R-45 High Performance TRM, Green Armor is highly effective in applications with water velocities up to 30 feet per second and is 30-50% less costly than hard armor.”
