Soil erosion can be a serious natural problem, resulting serious damages to water sources, wildlife, and open landscape. Erosion is the result of several processes and can be divided into three phases, such as loosening of particles, soil transport and sedimentation.
E-Coir line of 100% biodegradable coir fiber products includes short term and long-term erosion control Geotextiles, as well as turf reinforcement mats. Geotextile products offer the following benefits and features to solve the natural problems in a natural way:
Prevention of soil loss due to water and wind
Elimination of sediment run-off to dry areas and water areas
Protect the land surface from water and wind
Protect seeds, keep the seeds in place and help seed germination
Provide optimum conditions for the establishment of vegetation
100% natural and biodegradable
Geotextiles have high tensile strength
Water absorbent and moisture retention
Higher resistance to UV light
Establish vegetation through the Geotextile
Excellent durability and flexibility
Longevity of 2-6 years
Alternative to expensive synthetic photodegradable mats

Geotextile is a 100% neutral material; it is biodegradable and improves the fertility of soil.
Bristle coir blankets are woven with hand spun or machine spun coir yarns.
It controls soil and wind erosion and helps with supporting growth, development of vegetation and reinforcement of the soil.
Complete degradation of the E-coir geotextile takes place in 4-6 years.
They can dissipate the energy of flowing water and absorb the excess solar radiation.
E-coir geotextile can be used either as an overlay or an interlay – the former protecting the surface from run-off and the latter performing the functions of separation, filtration, and drainage.
