When it comes to erosion control, slope stabilization, and eco-engineering, one product is quietly revolutionizing the industry — Coir Woven Geotextiles.
At GroMax, we believe it’s time this natural wonder gets the spotlight it deserves.
🌱 What Are Coir Geotextiles?
Made from the long, strong fibers extracted from coconut husks, **Coir Geotextiles** are 100% biodegradable, sustainable, and earth-friendly. These woven mats are used on hillsides, embankments, roadsides, and riverbanks to prevent soil erosion and promote vegetation growth.
⚙️ Why Are Engineers Switching to Coir?
Let’s break down why Coir is outperforming synthetic alternatives:
1. Biodegradability with Purpose
Unlike plastics or synthetic meshes, Coir decomposes naturally over 24–36 months — just enough time to stabilize the soil while vegetation takes root.
2. High Tensile Strength
Our geotextiles come in 400, 700, and 900 GSM options. The higher the GSM, the stronger the holding capacity — suitable for everything from light landscaping to heavy infrastructure.
3. Moisture Retention = Better Plant Growth
Coir holds up to 8x its weight in water, creating an ideal microclimate for seed germination and vegetation.
4. Adaptable for Civil, Rail, and Road Projects
Approved and used in eco-sensitive zones across infrastructure sectors — including railway embankments, hill roads, and riverbanks.
📏 How to Choose the Right GSM?
GSM | Applications |
400 GSM | Landscaping, light erosion control |
700 GSM | Moderate slopes, roadside stabilization |
900 GSM | Steep slopes, high-flow water zones, railways |
