Miramesh® GR
Miramesh® GR is composed of green high-tenacity monofilament polypropylene yarns that are woven
together to produce an open mesh geotextile. Miramesh® GR is inert to biological degradation and
resistant to naturally encountered chemicals, alkalis, and acids.

Miramesh Facing Geogrids are used as secondary reinforcement for surficial stability to promote
vegetation growth in MSE structures such as; geosynthetic wrapped faced walls, wire faced walls and
steepened slopes. Miramesh is also used as a separation screen layer under permeable pavers and
stream channel blocks.

Minimum Average Roll Values (MARV) shown below are based on QC Testing per a defined lot not to
exceed 12 months. Testing Frequency follows ASTM D4354, Table 1. (move to table)
