Enkamat A20 is a three dimensional polyamide mat with an open structure prefilled with a bitumen-bound mineral filter of stone chippings.
When laid on grass seeded soil slopes which are exposed to water, Enkamat A20 provides a permanent solution to issues caused by hydraulic stress in areas where natural erosion would otherwise have prevailed. The product allows the area to become fully vegetated with the appearance of a grass channel. Enkamat A20 offers immediate erosion protection from high water velocities and small wave attack.
