A great blog explaining what turf reinforcement mats (TRMs) are, how they work and what types of TRMs PFA has to offer.
EROmasta® 3D/5L is a synthetic turf reinforcement mat, which protects underlying soil from erosion and provides a reinforcing matrix for vegetative root growth.
EROmasta® SeedMat is a synthetic turf reinforcement mat, which protects underlying soil from erosion and provides a reinforcing matrix for vegetative root growth. It is a three dimensional multi-layered product manufactured from polyethylene. It consists of two high tensile base layers of net bonded to three upper layers that form a cuspated surface that provides an array of pockets that trap the soil particles and windblown seeds.
EROmasta® SeedMat when installed gives instant protection against soil erosion caused by wind, rain and flash flooding. Top soil and seed is applied on top of the erosion mat to fill the pockets and allow the grass to grow through the mat. The established vegetation has now a reinforced root system resistant to the forces of erosion. Suitable for slopes up to 1:0.7, with grass or local vegetation surface. Not suitable for use under permanent or seasonal water levels.
EROmasta® 3D/3L & 3D/5L multi layered structure combined with its flat, high modulus base layer, provides the following benefits:
In addition the upper cuspated pockets provide the following benefits:
| Code: | Description: |
| TRM5-2/30 | EROmasta® 3D/5L – 2m x 50m Green |
| TRM3-2/50 | EROmasta® 3D/3L – 2m x 30m Black |
