Material For Reducing Fading Of Mulch Due To Exposure To Ultraviolet Light
US Patent:
2007020, Sep 6, 2007
Filed:
Jan 17, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/623789
Inventors:
Joseph W. Ferraro - Elizabeth PA, US
Steven A. Buono - Afton TN, US
Wallace H. Pippin - West Chester PA, US

International Classification:
C09K 17/52
US Classification:
47 33
Abstract:
The invention provides a mulch protective composition, methods for reducing fading of mulch, and non-fading mulch. The mulch protective composition is provided by a mixture of water and at least one component selected from an antioxidant, an ultraviolet absorber, an aqueous polymer dispersion, and mixtures of two or more of the foregoing. The composition is effective to reduce fading of mulch over time.
Spray-On Film For Application To Soil
US Patent:
2007000, Jan 4, 2007
Filed:
Sep 13, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/225519
Inventors:
Steven Buono - Afton TN, US
Joseph Ferraro - Elizabeth PA, US
Joseph Ferraro - Elizabeth PA, US
International Classification:
C09K 17/52
US Classification:
047009000
Abstract:
The invention provides a mulch film that may be sprayed over soil or existing mulch in a plant bed or in crop rows. The sprayed-on mixture hardens into a continuous barrier that passes water but blocks light to suppress weed growth. The components of the mixture are environmentally safe and will not harm desirable plants around which it is sprayed. A preferred embodiment of the mixture comprises a binding agent, a wetting agent, a dispersing agent, a stabilizing agent and a filler material, where total solids preferably comprise about 40-60 percent by weight of the mixture. In one embodiment, the binding agent comprises an emulsion polymer, the wetting agent comprises an alkyl ethoxylate, the dispersing agent comprises a polymer-based polycarboxylate, the thickening agent comprises a hydrophobic-modified carboxymethyl cellulose, and the filler comprises powdered clay.
