Advantages Virmat L

VIRMAT L provides you with the following advantages:

• light and elastic it adapts to the ground, perfectly protecting its surface;
• an immediate regulation of the superficial erosion events that keeps on improving thanks to the resultant association between the roots and the geomat;
• suitable for all kind of slopes, even the steep ones, for sunlit scarps or impoverished soils;
• suitable also for very steep scarps subjected to superficial detachment events;
• can be used on dry scarps or scarps composed of loose or friable soil;
• suitable also for pond banks and for the banks of irrigation and drainage canals;
• resistant to atmospheric agents and run-offs, for waterway banks with water flows up to 4 m/s;

• easy to lay down, it doesn’t require specialised manpower or special means and its installation is quick too;
• VIRMAT L geomat can be laid down on terrains up to 55° of inclination;
• erosion control and soil sowing all in a single stage with no need of further sowings before or after the laying procedure;
• the plants can put down roots and grow uniformly and regularly;
• it comes in a green colour so to ensure a better integration in the landscape;
• when filled with soil, the VIRMAT L geomat reduces the need for irrigations;
• unlike other monofilament products which are subjected to crushing, VIRMAT L geomat maintains its effectiveness even after having being filled with soil;
• it features an adequate tensile strength combined with good elasticity qualities;

• it is not affected by the corrosion unlike products made of metallic material;
• once the function of the bio-textile is complete, the bio-textile itself will biodegrade completely, while the geo-mat will continue to ensure a stable reinforcement of the slope and the vegetation cover;
• mainly is that VIRMAT L is pre-sowed and offers better germination capacity and lower operating costs.
• Furthermore VIRMAT L is not subject to crushing and deformation, like other geomats produced in monofilament, maintaining its effectiveness in all conditions unaltered.
• VIRMAT L has a multilayer structure (three) that confers greater resistance than the geomats produced by tangling the filaments, thanks to the dense central pleating which limits the deformability of the product and, and it better increases the ability to retain the clogging soil;
• VIRMAT L, thanks to its structure, has a tensile strength of 6-7 times higher than other geo-mats of equal thickness.
