About
Three-Dimensional and High-Strength Woven Mats for Erosion Control
ACEMat™ R is a range of High Performance Turf Reinforcement Mats (HPTRMs) crafted from high-strength polypropylene monofilament. The mats are woven together to form mesh structures with rectangular pyramid patterns that are highly effective in erosion control and channel protection. HPTRMs are a type of Rolled Erosion Control Products (RECP), also known as erosion control mat or geomat.
Outstanding Erosion Control and Vegetation Enhancement Performance
With its stable and thick three-dimensional woven structures (up to 7mm), ACEMat™ R is highly effective in controlling severe erosion problems in steep slopes, barren areas, riverbanks, channels, and heavy rainfall areas. The mat interlocks with soil to create a solid base, dissipates run-off and stream erosive forces, and protects the soil surface from water splash and wash. It also retains seeds and plants when vegetation is needed, providing exceptional erosion control and vegetation enhancement performance. Choose ACEMat™ R for an efficient and effective solution to your erosion control problems.
Long-lasting Strong and Cost-effectiveness
ACEMat™ R is a cost-effective and long-lasting solution for erosion control, boasting a high tensile strength of up to 60kN/m. It is resistant to abrasion, ultraviolet, and oxidation, ensuring durable performance. Installation is easy with anchors such as ACEPin™ T(earth anchor) or
ACENail™ (soil nails).
When compared to conventional methods like shotcrete or other hard armor protection, ACEMat™ R stands out. It can decelerate and filter runoff water, reducing erosion, and it is eco-friendly. Whether you need to control slight to severe erosion problems or line a channel, ACEMat™ R is an ideal solution. Choose ACEMat™ R for effective, affordable, and environmentally conscious erosion control.

Features
✓The benefits of using ACEMat™ R are summarized as below:
• Comprehensive protection at low rates
• Versatile application areas, including normal to steep slopes, riverbanks, channels, etc.
• Effective vegetation promotion
• Reduces carbon emissions (up to 96% CO2 reduction)
• Quick and easy installation
ACE Geosynthetics has conducted other tests to prove the performance:
1. Channel erosion test in accordance with ASTM D6460This test is conducted by a third-party laboratory that simulates soil conditions after stormwater-induced erosion. When TRM is applied to protect the earthen channels, it absorbs the hydraulic force, shear forces, and overland flow, thereby reducing soil particle loosening.
2. Vegetation growth test in accordance with ASTM D7322
The result of the test shows that in the same controlled environment, the germination rate, plant height and grass weight of the covered group are better than those of the control group without cover, it was confirmed that TRM is helpful for the germination of seed promoters and the ability of plant growth.
3. Scouring resistance of ACEMat™ R in accordance with ASTM D7101
We simulate the test to evaluate the amount of soil sprayed or carried by runoff and rain splash; the test shows that the treatment group covered with ACEMat™ R contains more soil than the other. The outcome can prove that TRMs have a stronger anti-erosion ability.
