Reactive Core Mat^®

Product Description: A patented permeable composite mat consisting of reactive material(s) encapsulated in a nonwoven core matrix bound between two geotextiles. The upper geotextile is a needlepunched non-woven that is heat-laminated to a matrix of nonwoven fibers needlepunched into a woven geotextile. Through its innovative processing RCMTM can combine two active materials, if required.

Application: For in-situ subaqueous capping of contaminated sediments or post-dredge residual sediments. RCM provides a reactive material that treats contaminants which are carried by advective or diffusive flow. Reactive cap allows for thinner cap thickness than a traditional sand cap. Additional benefits of geotextiles provide stability and physical isolation.

RCM can also be used for embankment seepage control and groundwater remediation.
