Western Excelsior manufactures a full line of Rolled Erosion Control Products (RECPs). Excel SS-2 Rapid Go temporary Erosion Control Blanket (ECB) is composed entirely of a straw matrix mechanically (stitch) bonded on two inch centers between two photodegradable, synthetic nets. The netting of the SS-2 Rapid Go ECB is treated to accelerate the degradation process. The straw matrix consists of weed free agricultural straw. Excel SS-2 is recommended for use in channels or slopes requiring erosion protection for a period forty-five to ninety days. Actual field longevity is dependent on soil and climatic conditions.
Each roll of EXCEL S-2 Rapid Go is made in the USA and manufactured under Western Excelsior’s Quality Assurance Program to ensure a continuous distribution of fibers and consistent thickness. Typical manufactured properites are provided in Table 1 and product characteristics are provided in Table 2.
