- CocoFlex™ET-FGM™ Advantages
- Designed with blended coconut and wood fibers, crimped interlocking fibers and additives that are engineered to perform under extreme conditions.
- Unmatched performance - > 99% effectiveness translates to superior erosion protection on slopes > 0.25H:1V.
- Faster growth establishment - 1500% water-holding capacity retains more moisture on the seedbed for faster germination and accelerated growth.
- Over 100 times less soil loss per acre than alternative products.
Applications & Uses

- Application Technique
- Installation
Strictly comply with equipment manufacturer's installation instructions and recommendations. Use approved hydroseeding machines with fan-type nozzle (50-degree tip). To achieve optimum soil surface coverage, apply ET-FGM from opposing directions to soil surface. Rough surfaces (rocky terrain, cat tracked and ripped soils) may require higher application rates to achieve 100% cover. Slope interruption devices or water diversion techniques are recommended when slope lengths (3H:1V) exceed 125 ft (38 m).
Erosion Control and Revegetation:
For maximum performance, apply ET-FGM in a two-step process:
- Step One: Apply fertilizer, other soil amendments and 50% of seed with a small amount of ET-FGM for visual metering.
- Step Two: Mix balance of seed and apply ET-FGM at a rate of 50 lb per 125 gal (22.7 kg/475 L) of water over freshly seeded surfaces. Confirm loading rates with equipment manufacturer. Do not leave seeded surfaces unprotected, especially if precipitation is imminent.
Depending upon site conditions ET-FGM may be applied in a one-step process where all components may be mixed together in single tank loads.
