ProMatrix® EFM

Engineered Fiber Matrix for Advanced Hydraulic Erosion Control

High-Performance Erosion Protection for Slopes, Channels, and Disturbed Soils

ProMatrix® EFM is a premium Engineered Fiber Matrix (EFM) specifically designed to deliver immediate erosion control, superior soil stabilization, and rapid vegetation establishment on challenging sites. Developed using Profile’s proprietary Green Design Engineering™ approach, ProMatrix® EFM combines high-performance fibers, advanced bonding agents, and hydraulic application efficiency into a single, integrated erosion control solution.

ProMatrix® EFM is engineered for use on steep slopes, channels, embankments, and high-risk erosion areas where conventional mulches or rolled erosion control products may be insufficient.

What Is an Engineered Fiber Matrix (EFM)?

An Engineered Fiber Matrix is a hydraulically applied erosion control system that forms a continuous, three-dimensional fiber blanket when applied to soil surfaces. Unlike standard hydraulic mulches, ProMatrix® EFM creates a reinforced matrix that:

• Anchors soil particles in place

• Reduces surface runoff velocity

• Protects seed and soil from rainfall impact

• Maintains soil contact during critical establishment periods

Once cured, the matrix remains flexible yet durable, providing protection until vegetation is fully established.

Key Performance Advantages

Immediate Erosion Control

• Forms a bonded fiber layer that resists displacement

• Reduces soil loss immediately after application

• No cure time required for erosion protection
  

Superior Soil-to-Fiber Bond

• Advanced fiber technology creates strong soil contact

• Minimizes washouts on slopes and channels

• Maintains uniform coverage across irregular surfaces

Rapid Vegetation Establishment

• Protects seeds from erosion and desiccation

• Maintains consistent soil moisture conditions

• Supports uniform germination and root development

High Application Efficiency

• Designed for efficient hydraulic loading and spraying

• Optimized fiber length reduces clogging

• Improves tank loading speed and application productivity

Typical Applications

ProMatrix® EFM is ideal for:

• Steep slopes and embankments

• Roadside and highway construction projects

• Railway corridors and infrastructure works

• Channels, ditches, and drainage ways

• Land development and grading projects

• Utility corridors and pipeline rights-of-way

• Environmentally sensitive and regulated sites
  

Hydraulic Application Benefits

ProMatrix® EFM is applied using standard hydroseeding equipment and offers significant loading and application advantages:

• Faster tank loading compared to traditional mulches

• Uniform slurry consistency

• Excellent spray pattern and adhesion

• Reduced material waste and overspray

These benefits allow contractors to cover more area per day while maintaining high installation quality.

Environmental and Regulatory Compliance

ProMatrix® EFM supports modern environmental protection standards and erosion control best practices:

• Helps meet NPDES and erosion control permit requirements

• Supports Best Management Practices (BMPs)

• Reduces sediment runoff into waterways

• Biodegradable and environmentally responsible

The product is engineered to deliver performance without introducing harmful residues into soil or water systems.
