20 February 2011 – American Excelsior Company announced that they are introducting a new innovative family of hydraulic mulches called Bindex™ at this year’s International Erosion Control Association (IECA) tradeshow being held in Orlando, Florida later this month. This new family of hydraulic mulches includes a Bonded Fiber Matrix (BFM) along with Bindex Wood (wood fiber mulch with or without tackifier) and Bindex Blend (wood-paper blend mulch with or without tackifier). All of these hydraulic mulches will use the company’s heavily branded Curlex® fibers as a component to enhance the performance characteristics of Bindex. Curlex fibers are well known in the erosion control industry for their unique “barbed” fibers and their ability to cling to one another and to the soil being protected.

Jerry Bohannon, Director of the Earth Science Division, said, “The addition of Bindex will add to the company’s strong brand of erosion and sediment products, allowing the company to take an industry leadership role in offering mixed loads of erosion and sediment control products on the same truck from six locations throughout the United States. The efficiency of this ‘Best Cost Delivery System’ lowers freight costs and lowers inventory needs to the company’s customers.”
