EROSION CONTROL

StarTak® Series

Our StarTak line of starch-derived products has proven to be more effective than any other natural or synthetic tackifier agents on the market. These 100% naturally derived products provide high mixing ratios, superior moisture retention and a pure, protein-rich fertilizer for plant growth. Choose from:

StarTak® 100

StarTak 100 is a cost-effective, naturally occurring organic tackifier for use in revegetation and hydroseeding applications, to help control the effects of wind and water erosion during seed germination and plant establishment.

StarTak® 600

StarTak 600’s adhesive properties are ideal for soil stabilization and hydroseeding applications, and it’s safe for the environment, plants and animals.

DustStar®

This all-natural adhesive is used to bind dust, gravel or soil particles, helping to create a firm, durable surface that eliminates destructive erosion caused by wind, water, and vehicles.

WASTEWATER

StarFloc®

StarFloc is a cost-effective, naturally occurring organic flocculent for removing suspended solids in storm water and process wastewater. This 100-percent natural starch polymer is safe for the environment, plants and animals.

GlucoStar® Series

These anionic starch-based polymers are cold-water soluble, with low-viscosity options.  These polymers provide excellent binding and adhesion properties, while their highly anionic character promotes agglomeration and flocculation of positively charged materials.

GlucoPlus® P+3

GlucoPlus P+3 is a cationic derivative, potato starch polymer that is cold-water soluble and can serve as an excellent flocculent, binding, and retention aid.
