Biomac® is a range of biodegradable blankets used for temporary erosion control. These roll erosion control products (RECP) act as a reinforced mulch protecting the seeds and soil from erosion. It also holds the moisture and accelerates germination and vegetation establishment. Biomac® is made of a variety of biodegradable materials like Biomac® S from straw, Biomac® SC from straw and coconut and Biomac® C from coconut fibers only. Each Biomac® type has a different degradation period in relation with its environment; the Biomac® S will be the less durable and the Biomac® C will be more durable.
Biomac gives nature a helping hand at the revegetation stage by:
-Ground protection - at the most vulnerable stage, unvegetated surfaces in conjunction with an ECB are protected from water and wind erosion preventing gullying and loss of topsoil. Rain and water run-off is considerably reduced.
-Moisture retention - rain water run-off is minimized and soaks through the blanket and allows soaking of the underlying soil: prolonged capillary storage improves seed germination.
Seed protection - newly planted seeds are protected against wind, rain and native wildlife.
