Posi-Shell® For Alternative Daily Cover

Questions?1-800-800-7671

Posi-Shell®, developed by LSC Environmental Products LLC, is the most effective Alternate Daily Cover (ADC) product to help solid waste municipalities save on their daily cover costs, conserve space and extend the life of their landfill.

What is Posi-Shell® for Alternative Daily Cover?

Posi-Shell®, applied with any standard hydroseeder or with our line of mix and spray applicators, is a patented blend of clay binders, reinforcing fibers and polymers, specially formulated for maximum effectiveness.  When mixed with water, Posi-Shell® forms a spray-on mortar which dries into a thin layer of stucco.  Even in adverse weather conditions, Posi-Shell® will adhere to any surface and the durability enhancers that are a part of the formulation make for a long term coating that remains resilient to erosion for more than a year.  Unlike difficult to work with landfill films, Posi-Shell® spray conforms to any type of rugged terrain, eliminating the need for any surface preparation.

Posi-Shell® meets all US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements to control disease vectors, suppress fires, minimize odors, hinder scavengers and eliminate blowing litter.  The product doesn’t need to be removed and creates a continuous impermeable barrier until landfill operations begin again.
