In 2015, Kengro began collaborating with MKB company to create a geotextile that would make silt fencing as we currently know it a thing of the past. If you've ever dealt with silt fencing, you know that silt fencing=headaches. Due to the needs of many of their pipeline customers, MKB Company was searching for an organic fiber manufactured in the US, that could absorb hydrocarbons & various other pollutants inherent to a construction site. This geotextile has now been developed, and it is called Siltron.

‍

Kengro provides the materials for the middle layer of Siltron to further increase the capabilities of an already dynamic product. Instead of a product that simply blocks pollutants physically (like traditional silt-fencing), Siltron can absorb pollutants and remove them from the environment.

‍

Kengro also offers MKB’s Diamond Sock brand of compost filter sock. The Diamond Sock compost filter sock is a phenomenal & environmentally friendly alternative to standard silt fencing; especially in wetlands, marshlands, and urban areas where trenching is not feasible.
