Features & Benefits

The technical performance data and field-proven advantages behind HELIX™ Advanced Fiber Matrix.

  >99% Erosion Control Effectiveness

HELIX™ achieves a Cover Factor (C Factor) of <0.01 tested at 3,000 lbs/acre per ASTM D6459 — translating to greater than 99% erosion control effectiveness. With a longevity of up to 12 months and ≥3-hour cure time, HELIX™ protects your site through the full establishment period.

  1,200% Minimum Water Holding Capacity

The Thermally Expanded™ virgin wood fibers at the core of HELIX™ lock in moisture at the seed bed surface, delivering a minimum 1,200% water holding capacity. This extended moisture retention reduces irrigation requirements and supports consistent germination even in dry or windy conditions.

  Performance and Cost in Balance

HELIX™ is specifically engineered for professional hydroseeding contractors who need high-end results at a competitive price point. Its advanced formulation optimizes application time while delivering results that fulfill a diverse range of agency and project specifications — saving money without sacrificing performance.
