Yes. The hydroabsorbent polymers used in the TerraCottem mixture can only absorb cations and anions with a regular, small ion volume. Most benzene-based organic pesticides and herbicides (as well as hydrocarbons, alcohol and other organic solvents) cannot penetrate the polymer structure due to their significantly higher molecular volume. For this reason, most benzene-based organic pesticides and herbicides may be used on areas treated with TerraCottem, with no negative effects.
