American Excelsior Recyclex TRM


Recyclex TRM is a unique, patented permanent turf reinforcement matting (TRM) made from 100% recycled post-consumer goods, such as green or brown bottles. The fibers are crimped and curled to create a strong, interlocking matrix that conforms to terrain details and reduces water flow velocity. Recyclex fibers have a specific gravity greater than one, ensuring the matrix will not float during hydraulic events. The fibers are stitched together by two layers of UV-resistant polypropylene netting to form a three-dimensional matrix designed to provide permanent surface support for vegetation and structural root systems. Recyclex can be installed over grass seed and topsoil or soil-filled and seeded to allow a structural root system to grow directly into the matting.

Features:

  • Made from 100% Recycled Materials: Recyclex TRMs are made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester fibers, such as green or brown bottles.
  • Crimped and Curled Fibers: The fibers are crimped and curled to create a strong, interlocking matrix that conforms to terrain details and reduces water flow velocity.
  • UV-Resistant Polypropylene Netting: The fibers are stitched together by two layers of UV-resistant polypropylene netting to form a three-dimensional matrix.
  • Specific Gravity Greater than One: Recyclex fibers have a specific gravity greater than one, ensuring the matrix will not float during hydraulic events.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced Germination: Provides a cover material that enhances germination.
  • Erosion Control: Reduces slope and/or channel erosion.
  • Permanent Vegetation Reinforcement: Permanently reinforces vegetation.
  • High Shear Stress Resistance: Can withstand shear stress up to 10.0 lbs/ft² (480 Pa) vegetated.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Helps keep post-consumer goods out of landfills.

Applications

  • Steep Slopes
  • Drainage Ditches
  • Channels
