Char-Barrier™ Erosion Sock

Kiln-dried red pine is an excellent medium for erosion sock. Here's why:

Sanitization & Pest Removal

Kiln-drying kills insects, larvae, mold, and pathogens, preventing the spread of contaminants from the wood to the soil.

Lightweight Installation

Kiln-dried wood is up to 20% lighter than undried wood, making the socks easier to handle, cheaper to transport, and faster to install.

Reduced Shrinkage

Because the moisture is already removed, the material won't shrink after installation, ensuring the sock maintains its shape and performance.

Superior Water Filtration

Consistent, uniform fiber sizing allows for better hydraulic conductivity, letting water flow through while trapping sediment and pollutants.

Eco-Friendly

Kiln-dried wood filler is made from reclaimed wood products, giving new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste.

Reduced Rot

The kiln drying process lowers moisture content to an optimal level, reducing the likelihood of decay, rot, and degradation over time.

High Carbon Content Biochar

For even more pollutant capture

High Cation Exchange

Biochar attracts and traps nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen within its pores, preventing them from washing into waterways.

Contaminant Filtration

Biochar acts as a porous filter that captures pollutants such as suspended solids, metals, hydrocarbons, and even PFAS from stormwater runoff.

Stable Carbon

The stable carbon of biochar never degrades, and it slowly releases nutrients which support vegetation growth. Used socks can be emptied into the ground to become part of the ecosystem.
