Product Description


PP5-Xtreme™ represents the next generation of HP-TRMs. By providing high performance faster, yielding greater performance, and meeting or exceeding all requirements for an HP-TRM, PP5-Xtreme™ is extending the capabilities and reliability of vegetated armour systems.

PP5-Xtreme™ is a fully synthetic, UV stable, High Performance Turf Reinforcement Mat (HP-TRM) manufactured by weaving continuous, synthetic thread elements by way of a proprietary (patent pending) process to form a lofty, three-dimensional pattern. The product is a woven, homogeneous, single layer HP-TRM that contains no lamination or stitching. The proprietary manufacturing process yields a material that provides outstanding strength at low strain, meaning more strength faster. Finally, PP5-Xtreme™ is resistant to environmental and climatic conditions.
