TMax
TMaxâ„¢ is a high-performance turf reinforcement mat (HP-TRM), designed for effective erosion control and vegetation reinforcement.
Made from UV-stabilised polypropylene monofilament yarns, the mat is woven into a permanent, high-strength, three-dimensional turf reinforcement matting. Available in a green/black colouring to merge with the environment, the mat boasts a uniform configuration of resilient, pyramid-like projections that provide optimum thickness and open area for maximum efficiency. Â
The mat’s high tensile strength ensures excellent damage resistance and increases the ability of soils to resist heavy loads from maintenance equipment and other vehicular traffic. The TMaxâ„¢ HP-TRM is designed with very high interlock and reinforcement capacities with both soil and root systems, making it ideal for erosion control applications on steep slopes and vegetated waterways.Â
TMax can be secured in place using the Cirtex® Ground Staples providing a secure connection to ensure that the grassroots establish into the matting. The Cirtex Platipus ARGS® anchors can also be used to secure the TMax in the more demanding applications where extra reinforcement is needed.
Platipus® and ARGS® are a Registered Trademarks of Platipus Anchor, registered in England.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you cut TMax?
TMax can easily be cut using a sharp knife or pair of scissors.
Should you apply hydroseed on top or underneath TMax?
Seeding would usually be onto the growing media before placement of the TMax, with the TMax pinned in close contact to the ground surface on top. However this varies from site to site, please phone Cirtex for more information.
What overlap is required?
We typically recommend a minimum of 150mm overlap. However this may vary based on the site conditions, please contact us to discuss further.
Benefits & Features
- Can be used to replace costly hard armour systems such as concrete, rock or gabion mattresses
- Unique pyramid shape giving greater surface coverage and improved adherence to soft subgrade
- Interweaving pyramid shape allows maximum seed, soil and water to be trapped, promoting faster vegetation and a stronger root system
- Used in conjunction with Platipus® Earth Anchors on steep slopes or high velocity channels or bunds
