Coir

Coir is a natural fibre extracted from coconut husk and used in products such as floor mats, doormats, brushes, mattresses etc. Technically Coir is the fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. Othe uses of brown coir (made from ripe coconut) are in upholstery padding, sacking and horticulture.


Corrugated

Shaped into alternating parallel grooves and ridges


EPDM

Rubber (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (M-class) rubber), a type of synthetic rubber, is an elastomer which is characterized by a wide range of applications.


Geocells

A polymeric cellular structure, consisting of a regular open network of connected strips, linked by extrusion or adhesion or other methods, used in geotechnical, environmental, hydraulic and transportation engineering applications.


Geogrids

The development of methods of preparing relatively rigid polymeric materials by tensile drawing [1], in a sense "cold working," raised the possibility that such materials could be used in the reinforcement of soils for walls, steep slopes, roadway bases and foundation soils. Used as such, the major function of the resulting geogrids is in the area of reinforcement.


Geosynthetics

Geosynthetics is the term used to describe a range of generally polymeric products used to solve civil engineering problems. The term is generally regarded to encompass eight main product categories: geotextiles, Geogrids, Geonets, Geomembranes, Geosynthetic clay liners, Geofoam, Geocells (cellular confinement) and Geocomposites.


Geotextiles

Geotextiles are permeable fabrics which, when used in association with soil, have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect, or drain. They are often made from polypropylene or polyester.


HDPE

High-Density Polyethylene


PVC

Polyvinyl Chloride


TRM

Turf Reinforcement Materials
