Profile Offers Enhanced Enkamat TRM Product Line
BUFFALO GROVE, Ill. (June 29,
2009) ─ Profile Products is pleased to announce that wider Enkamat
Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRMs) are now available. Standard Enkamat TRM rolls are
now eight-feet (2.4 m) wide which allows for easier handling and faster
installation. The new line also features improved UV resistance for longer life.
Two new high-performance TRMs (HP-TRMs), Enkamat R20 and Enkamat R30, are also
now available.
The new eight-foot Enkamat TRM has no welds or
seams, promoting more rapid installation with fewer overlaps. The improved UV
resistance ensures increased durability in arid conditions and/or where
vegetative establishment may require multiple growing seasons. Additionally, new
Enkamat R20 and R30 are both reinforced with a flexible polyester geogrid to
create high modulus, high-strength TRMs for the most demanding applications.
However, unlike other HP-TRMs, the new Enkamat R20 and R30 also provide
high-performance vegetative establishment.
"We are moving forward into a new era of more
environmentally responsible turf reinforcement," said Profile's Vice President
of Erosion Control Solutions, Marc S. Theisen, M.S., CPESC, CPSWQ. "The
Enkamat and GreenArmor product portfolio offers premium, net-free turf
reinforcement at a great value when compared with commodity TRMs constructed
with dangerous and unsightly nettings or expensive woven three-dimensional
fabrics. We believe there is a growing need for cost-effective TRMs and we will
continue to see this market grow even more."

Enkamat is a three-dimensional nylon Turf
Reinforcement Mat (TRM) made of polyamide (nylon) filaments thermally fused at
their intersections to create a homogeneous, net-free matrix. Ninety-five
percent of the matrix is open space which reinforces plant root systems. As the
roots grow, they become entwined within the permanent, lofty and open Enkamat
matrix, creating an extremely stable cover.
Profile's GreenArmor System combines engineering
and agronomic excellence to create the world's most effective Green
Engineering alternative. Enkamat is
hydraulically infilled with Flexterra FGM (Flexible Growth Medium) to intimately bond soil and seeds while
accelerating growth. This unique system protects against elevated levels of
hydraulic lift and shear forces while encouraging turf establishment and
long-term root reinforcement which grows denser vegetation, faster.
