EROSION EATEN AWAY BY NEW AGENT
Pennzoil has developed and patented a unique product that has proven effective in stabilizing erosion problems that sometimes occur during road and bridge construction projects. PennzSuppress EC is a unique soil binder that prevents erosion on sloping embankments during critical soil stabilization and turf establishment periods without the need for mulch. The environmentally safe agent eliminates wind and water erosion problems on steep embankments bordering highway overpasses and bridges, roads, airport runways, and stormwater channels. It performs in demanding weather conditions to stabilize the soil and prevent erosion from occurring. When applied properly, PennzSuppress EC will not pollute water, air, or plant life and will not harm wildlife in rivers or streams. Rather, it is shown to promote vegetation growth. It works as a soil sealant by penetrating several millimeters below ground and binding soil particles together in order to improve the cohesion of the soil surface.
