Descripon

RAM Vent™ is a lightweight entangled geomatrix manufactured for use

in an acve radon migaon system. RAM Vent™ is manufactured with

a heat bonded lter fabric on one or two sides allowing air to ow freely

based on our 95% open entangled design.

Benets

» RAM Vent™ has a high compressive strength.

» Made from Polypropylene, the laments resist most chemicals and

solvents.

» Material is .8” thick and 20” wide by 50’.

» Our high air ow system reduces the level of radon up to 97%.

» The 95% open air space gives a much higher air ow rang when

compared to aggregate.
