Futerra® is
a lightweight nonwoven erosion control/revegetation blanket comprised
primarily of virgin wood fiber. Futerra® is manufactured
by blending thermal mechanically-defribrated wood fiber with a small
percentage of recycled synthetic fibers and forming them into a drapeable
blanket.
An accelerated photodegradable polypropylene netting is laminated to
the surface of the blanket. Futerra® completely degrades on-site as
grass grows through the blanket.
The
wood fibers biodegrade adding organic material to the soil surface.
Futerra® has been engineered to significantly reduce soil erosion
and migration of the underlying seed bed, while enhancing seed germination
and growth. Futerra® is dyed a natural turf green color to provide
a temporary finished appearance until vegetation is established. It
is also undyed in a natural wood color. |
