Guaranteed Complete Degradability

Unlike erosion control blankets with photodegradable plastic netting and yarn that depend on sunlight to degrade, BioNet blankets are completely biodegradable. Leaving absolutely no synthetic residues on site after vegetation is established, BioNet blankets are ideal for use in bioengineering projects, wetland mitigation, riparian area protection, shaded areas, streambank restorations and environmentally-sensitive areas where synthetic products may pose a threat to wildlife.

Increased Erosion Control & Mulching Capabilities

With a dense mulch layer, BioNet blankets offer much greater erosion control and mulching capabilities than jute/coir open-weave textiles alone. BioNet blankets also exhibit increased erosion control and mulching capabilities versus their synthetic-netted counterparts. The jute netting on these products increases their water absorption capacity, which helps weigh the blanket down and conform the fiber matrix to the soil surface. This conformance and adherence to the soil surface aids in effective erosion control, soil temperature regulation and moisture retention to promote seed germination and early plant growth.

Increased Strength & Structural Integrity

The jute top netting on all BioNet products is constructed using the leno weave method to ensure superior mechanical stability and fiber retention under severe conditions. By intertwining and securing the cross directional netting strands, leno weaving affords BioNet blankets higher tensile strength, greater durability and better erosion protection than many other “biodegradable” blankets which use easily distorted cross-lay netting only.

Minimal Risk of Accidental Wildlife Entrapment

The interwoven strands of the BioNet netting can move independently of each other. This flexibility minimizes the risk of accidental wildlife entrapment; and enables the use of live stakes and the installation of trees, shrubs and other plantings through the blanket without compromising erosion control performance.
