Southwest Greens is excited to present a cutting edge innovation in natural infill for synthetic turf that’s safe for pets: K9 Sand. This amazing product not only boasts a 100% organic composition, but it is also eco-conscious and carbon-negative, actively removing more carbon from the atmosphere than is necessary for extracting it. Read on to find out more about K9 Sand for Huntsville pet turf!
THE SCIENCE OF K9 SAND
This carbon-negative property has earned K9 Sand a prestigious negative carbon footprint certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). But that is only the beginning of the advantages of using K9 Sand in your turf system.
K9 Sand is recognized for its round, hard uniform grains, carefully selected to elevate performance (see Figure 1). Responsibly harvested from naturally occurring and regenerative deposits on the ocean shelf, K9 Sand ensures long-term ecological balance. Southwest Greens utilizes responsible harvesting practices, harvesting less than a small fraction of the total amount renewed each year. This commitment to environmental stewardship ensures that our 100% organic and green turf infill remains in alignment with nature.
Once you receive a bag of our K9 Sand, you'll appreciate its compact and uniform grain size, which makes installation a piece of cake. The round and uniform shape of the grains creates tiny voids between neighboring particles, drastically boosting water drainage. Moreover, the smooth shape of K9 Sand lessens wear and tear on artificial grass fibers over time.
The hardness and dustless nature of K9 Sand guarantee a long-lasting and reliable infill solution. But the advantages keep going — K9 Sand also helps to keep the turf surface cool. Each grain of K9 Sand contains microscopic openings that retain water. As the surface temperature rises, the water in these microscopic openings is released, which allows evaporative cooling and reducing the temperature by approximately 20°F compared to conventional turf infills. With its superior bulk density (106 lbs/ft³), K9 Sand ensures optimal ballast, preventing wrinkling and maintaining an immaculate appearance.
THE BENEFITS OF K9 SAND
When it comes to caring for the environment, K9 Sand stands above the competition. It’s non-toxic, has no heavy metals and plastics, and embodies an uncompromising commitment to the health of our planet. Even better, K9 Sand offers distinctive features that make it the ideal infill solution for Huntsville artificial grass for pets. It drastically decreases the odor of urine (see Figure 2).
The smell of urine results from the volatilization of ammonia. K9 Sand tackles this issue by preventing the breakdown of ammonia in urine. Additionally, K9 Sand prevents the growth of bacteria, similar to other turf infills with bacteria-reducing additives (see Figure 3). These remarkable benefits are achieved without the need for any additives or coatings — K9 Sand is simply harvested from the ocean, carefully cleaned, and transported to your doorstep.
