North American Green BioNet Blankets

The short-term biodegradable erosion control blankets in North American Green’s BioNet® Series consist of an evenly distributed layer of 100% agricultural straw stitched with biodegradable thread to a single or double-netting structure composed of 100% biodegradable jute fiber. They are designed to provide all-natural erosion protection and assist with vegetation establishment for up to 12 months in applications, such as moderately sloping areas and low-flow channels where bare-ground seeding and loose mulches often fail. After the blankets biodegrade, soil erosion is controlled by the root, stem, and leaf structures of the mature vegetation.

S75BN™ features a layer of 100% straw fiber stitched with biodegradable thread to a biodegradable, natural-fiber top net. S75BN™ provides better erosion protection and mulching action than conventional jute nettings alone and is typically effective for up to 12 months.

S150BN™ features a layer of 100% straw fiber stitched with biodegradable thread between biodegradable, natural-fiber top and bottom nets. S150BN™ is designed to provide up to 12 months of erosion protection and mulching in applications where the added durability of a double-net structure is required.

The extended-term biodegradable erosion control blankets in North American Green’s BioNet® Series consist of an evenly distributed fiber matrix that includes a long-lasting coconut fiber component for added durability and is stitched with biodegradable thread between 100% biodegradable jute fiber top and bottom nets. They are designed to provide all-natural erosion protection and assist with vegetation establishment for 18 to 24 months, depending on the product, in applications such as steep slopes, medium to high-flow channels, and shorelines. After the blankets degrade, soil erosion is controlled by the root, stem, and leaf structures of the mature vegetation.

SC150BN™ features a layer of 70% straw and 30% coconut fiber stitched with biodegradable thread between biodegradable, natural-fiber top and bottom nets. SC150BN™ is designed to provide erosion protection and mulching for up to 18 months in applications in which the strength of a double-net structure and the added erosion control properties of coconut fiber are required.

C125BN™ features a layer of 100% coconut fiber stitched with biodegradable thread between biodegradable natural-fiber top and bottom nets. The dense layer of coconut fiber stitched between the jute nettings enables C125BN™ to provide more effective erosion protection and mulch than woven coir nettings in critical applications for up to 24 months.
