Description
Heavy-Duty Coir Blanket for High-Risk Erosion Zones
Coir SoilLock 450 is the premium heavy-duty biodegradable erosion control blanket in the SoilLock™ range.
It is specifically engineered for:
-
Steeper slopes
-
Higher rainfall intensity zones
-
Exposed mine rehabilitation areas
-
Channels with moderate flow
-
Long vegetation establishment periods
The increased fibre mass creates a denser protective matrix, significantly improving:
-
Soil retention
-
Surface shielding
-
Moisture conservation
-
Resistance to washout
