3RFoam Application:

3RD35 Foam Drainage Mat


3RD35 drainage mat is made from cross-link, closed cell polyethylene particles of various sizes. The material is a CFC free, 100% permeable product. It is permanently joined in a thermal process without any resin or chemical additives.

3RD35 foam drainage mats have the following advantages:

High drainage efficiency

  • Non toxic, decay resistant
  • Impervious to most chemicals
  • Light weight, non absorbing closed cell structure
  • Structurally strong yet flexible
  • Tolerates extreme loading with quick compression recovery. Absorbs shock, impact and vibration
  • Retains properties at sub zero temperature
  • Environmentally friendly, recyclable

Non woven geo-textile foam surface top cover is designed to prevent fine earth particles clogging. The geo-textile is extended over two edges of the foam mat to permit overlapping for efficient long term performance. The 20mm (3/4") dia. Longitudinal grooves on the bottom side of the foam mat enhance more efficient drainage.

3RD35 can be installed horizontally as well as vertically, it is designed to provide long term protection of below ground structures from harmful effects of water.
