Erosion control

TENAX bi-oriented (or stretched) polypropylene nettings show outperforming features on lightness and mechanical resistance.

They can be easily coupled with natural or wooden fibers to realize erosion control blankets for embarkments or slopes.

Bi-oriented nets are produced with weights and meshes suitable for any application.

• Dimensional stability and regularity
• High mechanical resistance
• Flexibility and reinforcing
• Tear resistant
• Recyclable and incinerable material
• Light weight
• Low Thickness

hPP – Homopolymer polypropylene
