In addition to preventing silt migration and soil erosion, the primary mission of Green Design Engineering™ is to promote vegetation establishment. One of the most effective ways Green Design Engineering products accomplish this is through superior moisture retention. CocoFlex™ ET-FGM is a great example. Its patented design blends coconut and Thermally Refined® wood fibers, crimped interlocking man-made fibers and additives that work synergistically for greater water absorption and performance under extreme conditions. It is an ideal consideration for:
It requires no cure time and provides superior slope protection over turf establishment blankets and Bonded Fiber Matrix (BFM) products. Its two years of protection makes it the highest performing, longest-lasting hydraulically applied erosion control product on the market.
