Erosamat
Type 1 & 1A are low cost biodegradable mats made from
woven jute. An economic and environmentally friendly
erosion control material for use on surfaces that will
support growth. The grass or wildflower seed is usually
placed onto the surface before laying the mat
(alternatively the mat can be hydroseeded after
placement). The Erosamat consists of a dense
mesh of jute fibres that absorbs the impact of rain
bombardment and reduces run-off velocity. The mat
protects the soil until the seeds have germinated and a
root system is established. Thereafter the Erosamat
slowly biodegrades to form nutrients and improve soil
quality.
