Stitch Bonded TRMs are designed to accelerate the germination process, while providing protection against storm events. This is achieved through the technology’s core, which consists of a dense web of crimped, interlocking, multi-lobed polypropylene fibers. Stitch Bonded TRMs exhibit high resiliency, and possess strength and elongation properties to limit stretching in a saturated condition.
Stitch Bonded TRMs’ nonwoven core encourages a quick and effective germination process, enabling the roots to quickly establish and interact with the fiber matrix in an effort to reinforce the vegetation, while containing soils beneath the mat. Every component of a Stitch Bonded TRM is stabilized against chemical and ultraviolet degradation, which are normally found in a natural soil environment. Furthermore, the technology contains no biodegradable components.
