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
