Southwest Greens is proud to present a revolutionary innovation in eco-friendly infill for artificial turf that is 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 discover more about K9 Sand for Albuquerque pet turf!
THE SCIENCE OF K9 SAND
The carbon-negative property has earned K9 Sand a prestigious negative carbon footprint certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). But this is just the beginning of the advantages of using K9 Sand in your turf project.
K9 Sand is renowned for its uniform hard, round grains, carefully chosen to elevate performance (see Figure 1). Responsibly harvested from naturally found and renewable deposits on the ocean shelf, K9 Sand ensures long-term ecological balance. Southwest Greens utilizes responsible harvesting practices, harvesting less than a minimal percentage of the total amount renewed each year. This commitment to preserving the environment ensures that our 100% natural and eco-friendly turf infill remains in harmony with nature.
Once you buy a bag of our K9 Sand, you'll appreciate its small and uniform grain size, which makes installation a breeze. The uniform and round shape of the grains creates tiny voids between neighboring particles, drastically boosting water drainage. Moreover, the gentle 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 keeps the artificial turf cool. Each grain of K9 Sand has microscopic openings that retain water. As the surface temperature rises, the water in these tiny pores is released, which provides cooling through evaporation and reducing the temperature by approximately 20°F compared to standard turf infills. With its high bulk density (106 lbs per cubic foot), K9 Sand ensures ideal ballast, preventing wrinkling and maintaining an immaculate appearance.
THE BENEFITS OF K9 SAND
When it comes to caring for the environment, K9 Sand stands at the forefront of the competition. It’s non-toxic, doesn’t have any heavy metals and plastics, and embodies an uncompromising commitment to the well-being of our planet. Even better, K9 Sand offers unique qualities that make it the optimal infill solution for Albuquerque artificial grass for pets. It effectively minimizes 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 hydrolysis of ammonia in urine. Additionally, K9 Sand suppresses 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 obtained from the ocean, meticulously cleaned, and delivered to your doorstep.
