Concrete Cloth™ is a Simple-to-Use
Geocomposite Protection Material
• Install it like a geotextile
• Hydrate using water
• In 24 hours, it cures into a hard fiber-
reinforced concrete layer
Concrete Cloth™ can be used:
• Anywhere a hardened protective surface is required.
• Especially where conventional concrete/riprap or shotcrete is
difficult or impossible to install or requiring minimum disturbance
• Where labor is expensive or scarce.
• Project is TIME sensitive and you need to minimize weather issues
