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.
