TenCate Polyfelt Polymat

TenCate Polyfelt Polymat erosion control mats (ECM) are monofilament Geomats made from polypropylene, with or without Geogrid reinforcement. The structure with its extremely high voids content reinforces the upper 1 to 2 cm of the soil, thereby preventing surface erosion on slopes and offering permanent support to topsoil and vegetation.

Polymat protects all kinds of slopes on a long-term basis. From the very beginning of the root growth phase, Polymat offers adequate support to the top soil. The roots and the monofilaments create a reinforced layer withstanding even high erosion forces.

The benefits of TenCate Polyfelt Polymat:

TenCate Polyfelt Polymat is available in different configurations:

Polymat 810, 1210 and 2010
The cuspate three-dimensional structure provides optimum interlock between sub grade and top soil.

Polymat 2020
The monofilament mat is reinforced by a Geogrid. At very long or steep (> 30°) slopes, the slope stability is significantly increased by taking up higher tensile forces. Furthermore, the reinforcing grid increases the stability against suction forces, e.g. when a dike is over flooded.
