Mechanism of Action

  • Moisture Absorption: Under high relative humidity, mineral mulch absorbs moisture, and Under drier conditions, it reduces evaporation and helps retain soil moisture.

  • Dust Control and Soil Stabilization: By Keeping the soil surface moist it enhances surface cohesion and minimizes particle dispersion of particles caused by wind or vehicle movement.

  • Improved Durability of Unpaved Roads: Sustained moisture prevents the formation of ruts and bumps on dirt roads, thereby lowering maintenance costs.

Applications of Mineral Mulch

  • Agriculture and Horticulture: Retaining soil moisture and preventing erosion.

  • Unpaved Roads and Access: Dust reduction, prevention of potholes and ruts

  • Mining and Construction Sites: Dust suppression and stabilization of delete dunes

  • Desertification Control: Containment of shifting sands and desert expansion

Benefits of Using Mineral Mulch

  • Long-Lasting Performance: Slow absorption and high durability, unlike petroleum-based mulches.

  • Water Conservation: Reduces surface evaporation and retains soil moisture.

  • Weed Control: full soil coverage to prevent weed growth.

  • Reduced Road Maintenance Costs: Minimizes the need for frequent repairs and enhances the condition of unpaved roads.

  • Pest and Disease Resistance: Does not attract insects or fungi, unlike organic mulches.

  • Eco-Friendly: Free from chemical additives and safe for environmentally sensitive areas.

Mineral Mulch Usage Guideline

To achieve optimal performance, apply a 3 to 5 cm layer of mineral mulch evenly over the soil surface. This amount may vary depending on climate conditions and the intended application.

Packaging and Storage Conditions

  • Packaging: Bulk transport via 20–25 ton tanker trucks

  • Storage Conditions: Store in a dry, cool place, away from moisture and direct sunlight

FAQs

How does mineral mulch reduce water evaporation?

By creating a protective layer over the soil, it prevents direct sunlight from reaching the surface, thereby reducing surface evaporation.

What is the durability and effectiveness of mineral mulch?

Depending on climate conditions, it typically lasts from 1 to 5 years.

Can mineral mulch be used in windy areas?

Yes. Due to its appropriate weight, it is resistant to wind.
