Nothing Keeps More Soil On Site

Bar graph comparing erosion control performance: Flexterra HP-FGM leads at nearly 100%, followed by Double-Net Excelsior and Profile Bonded Fiber Matrix, Double-Net Straw Blanket, and Straw/Cotton Hydraulic Mulch.

Flexterra® HP-FGM® has demonstrated nearly perfect erosion control performance—even on slopes as severe as 0.25H:1V. It immediately bonds to the soil surface, and has proven to be greater than 99% effective upon curing. Its flexible, yet stable matrix features greater wet bond strength, yielding increased sheet flow resistance. In addition to minimizing soil loss, the turbidity (NTU) of runoff is greatly reduced. In large scale testing, Flexterra HP-FGM reduced effluent turbidities of sandy loam soils to less than 100 NTU.

Five trucks, each carrying progressively smaller piles of soil, illustrate soil loss for different erosion control products, ranging from 75,520 lbs (Straw/Cotton Mulch) to 173 lbs (Flexterra® HP-FGM™).
