American Excelsior - 12" X 10' Curlex Sediment Logs

American Excelsior’s Curlex® Sediment Logs offer an eco-friendly, high-performance solution for sediment filtration and water velocity reduction. These degradable logs are designed for use in a variety of erosion control scenarios including swales, ditch bottoms, slope wattling, and perimeter protection around job sites.

Key Features:

• Constructed with curled Great Lakes Aspen excelsior fibers for superior filtration
• Porous matrix allows water to pass through while filtering sediment from runoff
• Reduces hydraulic energy, preventing erosion in flow areas and slopes
• Highly flexible—conforms to uneven terrain for consistent contact with the subgrade
• Degradable and re-usable depending on conditions—no disposal hassle
• Lightweight and trench-free installation
• Free from weed seeds to prevent site contamination

Application:

Install along slopes, swales, ditch bottoms, curb inlets, and around drop structures. Ideal for use on bare soil or with turf reinforcement mats (TRMs), and around high-traffic ingress/egress areas.

Can be used in place of traditional sediment control options such as straw wattles, silt fences, or rock checks.

See spec sheet for complete application instructions and site-specific recommendations.

Use Rate:

Typical installation requires 1 sediment log per 10 linear feet of flow control or slope interruption. Secure with stakes or natural terrain compression.

See spec sheet for full rate guidelines and site-specific usage details.

Technical Specifications:

• Material: Aspen Excelsior Fibers in open weave degradable fabric
• Size: 12" diameter x 10' length
• Weight: Approx. 20 lbs
• Functional Longevity: Up to 24 months depending on environment
• Performance: Reduces slope erosion by 70%, channel erosion by 50%
• pH Absorption: Maintains runoff pH below 8.3

Precautions:

Ensure secure placement on slopes and in flow paths to prevent shifting. Do not install on frozen ground or during active flood conditions. Remove or replace as needed to maintain effectiveness.

See spec sheet for complete safety instructions and handling guidelines.

Storage & Disposal:

Store in a dry, shaded area before use. Sediment logs are biodegradable and may be left in place or removed and reused depending on site and usage conditions.

See spec sheet for proper storage, reuse, and disposal instructions.
