Outstanding Features or Advantages Claimed:
	Posi-Cube is a unique hydroseeding medium which uses Stabilized Mineral Binders in place of conventional tackifiers. The use of Mineral Binders offers many unique advantages over conventional mulches and BFM products. 1. High Loading Rate. Posi-Cube mixes at 50 lbs. mulch to 80 gallons of water, increasing area covered per load by 25-100% compared to conventional mulches and BFM products. This feature greatly increases efficiency of installation for significant cost savings. 2.) Mixing & Application Ease. When mixed, Posi-Cube forms a true slurry for full suspension of fibers and seeds, both eliminating clogging issues and aiding in even application of seed for better end results. 3. Cost Effective Performance. At standard application rates Posi-Cube provides BFM quality slope protection at a lower installed cost. Posi-Cube can also be used at lower application rates which are price competitive with conventional mulches while providing superior performance. Other advantages are: Unmatched adhesion on any slop or contour Reduce coverage per load. 50 pound bale 30% smaller than conventional mulch products. Does not require pre shredding. stays in suspension - does not clog spraying equipment.
