Top Tips for BARKBINDER

  1. BarkBinder (BB) is best suited for use on mulch or bark with small to medium (1/4 – 2″/ 6.35 mm-5 cm) substrates such as fibrous, shredded mulch or bark ground cover, and pine straw.
  2. DO NOT USE WITH: bark nuggets, wood chips, or synthetic mulch.
  3. For optimal results, mix BB concentrate at a 4:1 ratio with water.
  4. BB must be installed when the temperature is 55° F (12.7 C) and rising. Avoid temperatures below freezing or above 90° F (32.2 C) for any phase of BB installation, cure, or storage.
  5. AVOID WET CONDITIONS! Consider complimentary weather conditions before, during, and after application. Do not install BB 48 hours before or after rainfall. Bark and mulch should be dry during installation to ensure maximum bond strength.

ALWAYS PERfORM A TEST SECTION USING THE RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION METHODS TO CONFIRM SUITABILITY OF MATERIALS & PROJECT CONDITIONS.

Preparation

  • For optimal results, mix BarkBinder® concentrate at a 4 : 1 ratio with water.
  • Example: 1 gallon (3.8 litre) of BarkBinder® mixed with 4 gallons of water will yield 5 gallons (19 litre) of diluted solution for recommended application scenarios 1 gallon (1 litre) of BarkBinder®mixed with 4 gallons (4 litre) of water will yield 5 litres of diluted solution.
  • BarkBinder® diluted solution is easliy applied using a standard 1 – 5 gallon (3.8-19 litre) capacity low-pressure, pump sprayer.
  • For larger applications, electric, high-capacity sprayers may be used.

  • outside temperature is 55° F (12.7 C) and rising.
  • Avoid temperatures below 55° or above 90° F (12.7-32.2 C) for any phase of BarkBinder® installation or storage.
  • To ensure proper absorption and maximum bond strength, delay any irrigation systems and ensure bark and mulch remain dry during both installation and curing phases.
  • It is recommended to map out the square footage when spraying to ensure proper application rate.
  • Avoid spraying directly onto trees, plants, shrubs, or other ground cover materials.
  • Use water to clean application equipment as needed.
