EnkaSolutions: EnkaDrain, EnkaMat, and EnkaRadonVent

EnkaDrain consists of multifunctional high-performance geocomposites developed with a synthetic drain core composed of entangled filaments and nonwoven fabric offering flexibility, thermal stability, and high tensile strength. To maintain maximum strength and heavy loads, the entangled filaments are created into a square waffle or U-groove pattern.

EnkaDrain Applications:

• Green Roof Drainage
• Landfill Drainage
• Pavers and Hardscapes Drainage
• Structure and Foundation Drainage

Application Areas:

Basement Walls, Retaining Walls, Bridge Abutments, Embankments,Tunnels, Parking Decks, Green Roofs, Artificial Sports Fields, Concrete Slabs

EnkaRetain&Drain is an all-in-one solution waterproofing drainage mat and water retention. This product combines the EnkaDrain mat with highly absorbent water-retention materials. This fabric is designed with recycled synthetic fibers that can hold more than 7.5 times its weight in water. Due to its water-vapor permeability, this product is suitable for installation on conventional and protected membrane roofs.

EnkaMat Applications:

• Turf Reinforcement Mat
• Metal-Roof Ventilation
• Metal-Roof Drainage
• Roof Underlayment

Application Areas:

Slopes, Banks, Ditches, Channels, Spillways, Shorelines, Metal Roofs

The EnkaMat is the ideal solution for erosion and noise control through EnkaMat R and EnkaMat RSV. The EnkaMat R comes in various thicknesses and three-dimensional turf reinforcement with a manufactured nylon design to eliminate buoyancy in submerged conditions and provide permanent protection against erosion.  Like EnkaMat R, the RSV has a multifunctional three-dimensional structure and lightweight design for simple installation and noise control under metal roofs. Through the bonding of nylon filaments, RSV also resists various alkalis, dilute acids, fuels, and solvents in construction projects. 

In addition to providing erosion and noise control, EnkaMat can also be used in conjunction with rip rap to offer superior protection against erosion. When installing EnkaMat, it’s crucial to ensure proper anchoring and overlapping of the mats to create a seamless and effective barrier against erosion.

EnkaMat Applications:

• Erosion Control Blanket 
• Erosion Control Mat
• Metal-Roof Impact Sound Reduction
• Metal-Roof Ventilation & Drainage

 

Application Areas:

Slopes, Banks, Ditches, Channels, Spillways, Shorelines, Metal Roofs

The EnkaRadonVent was built to effectively intercept radon and mitigate moisture rising in buildings foundations. Created with high-performance building composites, the mats consist of a 0.9 or 0.8-inch thick matrix of entangled polyamide filaments. This structure helps to separate underlying soil from concrete foundations and is ideal for use with prefabricated slabs and poured concrete.

EnkaRadonVent Applications:

• Create radon-control-ready structure
• Establish a moisture evacuation path
• Vent hydrocarbon gasses from the soil
• Reduce radon levels of up to 97%

Application Areas:

Poured and Prefabricated Concrete, Foundation Walls
