Explore American Excelsior’s Erosion Blanket Options and See Why They’re the Most Trusted Name in the Industry
For more than 125 years, American Excelsior Company® (AEC) has manufactured and distributed complete lines of products for packaging, cushioning, engineered foam specialties, erosion and sediment control, and a wide variety of engineered wood fibers. Their knowledge and legacy in the industry have made them the most trusted name in erosion control for over a century.
Erosion Control Blankets are thick, fibrous blankets woven out of either natural materials (e.g., straw and coconut fiber), synthetic materials (e.g., polypropylene), or a mixture of natural and synthetic materials. They are classified as short-term, long-term, or permanent use, primarily based on whether vegetation is intended to replace or work in conjunction with the blankets. American Excelsior realizes project owners, consultants, specifiers, and landscape contractors wish to have a choice when selecting erosion control blankets. That is why AEC, the inventor of biodegradable erosion control blankets, manufactures both straw and excelsior blankets. Reinders is proud to carry a variety of AEC erosion blanket options to help meet the plethora of needs you face.
American Excelsior Premier Straw Quick Degrade Erosion Control Blanket
AEC Premier Straw blankets use only top-quality, organic, certified weed seed-free, agricultural straw fibers. A single or double net is then stitched to the topside or both sides of the ECB. A variety of nettings are available, depending on your project requirements. A short-term erosion blanket, Premier Straw is designed to provide temporary protection for grass seed and topsoil during the germination and progressive revegetation and root system development stages.
At a standard width of 8 feet, 18 inches wider than conventional straw erosion blankets, Premier Straw blankets are specifically designed to provide you with the most effective, easy-to-install widths available. Typical applications include highway slopes and embankments and utility right-of-ways.
American Excelsior Curlex I Blanket
Developed in the early 1960s, Curlex excelsior blankets are specifically designed using unique cuts of Great Lakes Aspen fibers to promote ideal growing conditions for grass seed while simultaneously protecting topsoil from wind and water erosion. Curlex blankets offer a built‐in swell factor—wet, curled excelsior fibers expand and interlock to form a strong fiber matrix. This allows the fibers to provide intimate contact with local terrain. Water flow is trained to follow the curled fiber matrix and the roughness of the curled excelsior matrix slows the velocity point, allowing moisture to seep into the topsoil slowly.
This short-term erosion blanket promotes ideal growing conditions for grass or tree seed while simultaneously protecting from wind and water erosion. Typical applications include highway embankments, ditch bottoms and steep slopes, residential, commercial, & industrial developments, and more.
American Excelsior Premier Coconut Erosion Control Blanket
AEC Premier Coconut ECB is made from the finest quality strands of coconut fiber and is evenly distributed in ECB form and stitched to a UV enhanced heavy black net on top and bottom. This UV enhanced netting is longer duration photodegradable, making the product perfect for severe applications or where special seed mixes need long-term protection. This erosion blanket is designed for mid to long-term erosion protection and vegetation establishment on steep slopes, flow channels, and shorelines. Premier Coconut Erosion Control Blankets provide erosion protection life up to 36 months depending on the job site conditions. Typical applications include utility transmission right-of-way, landfill construction, highway construction, urban drainage, and slope stabilization.
