KOHU EcoGuard™
Surface Mat Natural Fiber Land Protection System
|
|
Protecting Land. Restoring Nature.The KOHU EcoGuard™ Surface Mat is an advanced, fully biodegradable land protection system manufactured from 100% natural coconut coir fibre. Engineered with an open weave construction, it delivers outstanding tensile strength while permitting water infiltration and air flow — creating ideal conditions for seed germination, root establishment, and long-term vegetation growth. Whether deployed on eroding slopes, riverbanks, construction sites, or agricultural plantations, EcoGuard™ provides immediate protection while gradually enriching the soil as it naturally degrades over 3–5 years, leaving zero synthetic residue. |
Core Benefits
100% Natural & Renewable — made from coconut coir, a sustainable by-product
Reduces Soil Erosion — anchors topsoil on slopes & embankments
Supports Root Growth — promotes germination & healthy vegetation
Retains Soil Moisture — reduces surface runoff & water loss
Biodegradable & Eco-Friendly — enriches soil as it degrades naturally
|
Built for Long-Term Environmental Performance
High Tensile Strength Exceeds ≥ 2.0 kN/m in both MD and CMD directions for lasting structural integrity. |
Water Permeable ≥ 100 L/m²/s permeability allows natural water flow while protecting the surface below. |
UV Resistant ≥ 70% UV resistance after 500-hour exposure ensures durability in open field conditions. |
Temperature Stable Performs reliably from -40°C to +60°C, suitable for all climatic zones worldwide. |
Seed Germination Open weave structure promotes germination and healthy root penetration into the soil. |
Easy Installation Simple roll-out deployment on slopes, embankments, or flat areas with biodegradable pins. |

Simple 4-Step Deployment
1 Prepare the surface by clearing debris and levelling the soil. |
2 Roll out the mat down the slope or over the area to be protected. |
3 Overlap adjacent rolls by 100–150 mm to ensure full coverage. |
4 Secure the mat with wooden or biodegradable anchor pins at 15–20 mm spacing. |
Naturally Sustainable Made from a renewable agricultural by-product with zero synthetic inputs. |
Low Environmental Impact Biodegrades completely, enriching soil with organic matter. |
Safe for Wildlife Non-toxic, chemical-free, and safe for soil organisms, plants and animals. |
Returns to Nature Leaves no waste — degrades naturally, leaving only improved soil. |
