Nothing Establishes Vegetation More Reliably

Flexterra® HP-FGM® delivers 600% better initial germination.

Flexterra’s high-performance matrix outperforms all other erosion control products through a combination of optimized water/nutrient retention and enhanced growth environment. The loft of the HP-FGM matrix creates air space, which not only captures more moisture to improve seedling emergence, it also improves the oxygen exchange necessary for robust plant development. Patented Micro-Pore Technology gives the matrix additional water and nutrient retention properties, which results in superior vegetation establishment as documented in independent testing.

Bar graph showing erosion control effectiveness: Straw/Cotton Mulch (~60%), Double-Net Straw Blanket (~80%), Profile Bonded Fiber (~85%), Double-Net Excelsior (~90%), Flexterra HP-FGM (~97%).

Establishing vegetation quickly and completely is the key to long-term erosion control. Compare Flexterra HP-FGM to the average values of common technologies as documented in published AASHTO-NTPEP reports and independent laboratory testing using standard test method ASTM D7322.
