Unrivaled Results Produced by Superior Fibers

Conwed Fibers Thermally Refined™ mulch retains 13.5 times more water than wood fibers produced by non-thermal refining, promoting faster and more complete germination.

We provide a full guarantee of customer satisfaction.


Non-Profile Products Mulches vs. Profile

Mulches manufactured outside of Profile Products use atmospheric, mechanical, or milling methods. They have 50% less water-holding capacity, thinner fiber lengths, and lower coverage area. They cannot provide effective protection and negatively impact the performance of your Hydroseeder / Hydro Mulcher. Furthermore, they lack consistent production quality.

Conwed Fiber Mulches Other Wood Mulches
Conwed Fiber mulches are produced with superior technology via thermal refining processes, creating finer and denser fibers that cover more surface area. Other mulches are created via atmospheric and mechanical processes.
They have 50% more water-holding capacity compared to wood mulches produced by atmospheric and mechanical processes. They have lower water retention capacity.

 

Key Advantages of Conwed Fiber Mulches:

  • Advanced Manufacturing Technology

  • Consistent Production Quality

  • Superior Fiber Quality

  • Greater Area Coverage

  • Higher Water Holding Capacity

  • Enhanced Protection

  • Lower Long-Term Cost

  • One hundred percent guaranteed application performance
