Southwest Greens is excited to present a revolutionary breakthrough in organic infill for artificial turf that is safe for pets: K9 Sand. This amazing product not only boasts a 100% organic composition, but it’s also sustainable and carbon-negative, actively removing more carbon from the air than is required for its extraction. Read on to discover more about K9 Sand for Oakley pet turf!
THE SCIENCE OF K9 SAND
This carbon-negative feature has earned K9 Sand a prestigious negative carbon footprint certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). But that is just the beginning of the benefits of implementing K9 Sand with your turf system.
K9 Sand is renowned for its round, hard uniform grains, carefully selected to enhance performance (see Figure 1). Responsibly harvested from naturally existing and regenerative deposits on the ocean shelf, K9 Sand ensures long-term ecological balance. Southwest Greens utilizes responsible harvesting practices, harvesting less than 10% of the total amount renewed each year. This commitment to environmental stewardship ensures that our 100% organic and eco-friendly turf infill remains in alignment with nature.
Once you buy a bag of our K9 Sand, you will appreciate its compact and uniform grain size, which makes installation a breeze. The round and uniform shape of the grains creates small gaps between neighboring particles, significantly enhancing water drainage. Moreover, the smooth shape of K9 Sand reduces wear and tear on artificial grass fibers over time.
The hardness and dustless nature of K9 Sand guarantee a durable and reliable infill solution. But the advantages do not stop there — K9 Sand also helps to keep the turf surface cool. Each grain of K9 Sand contains tiny pores that trap 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 premium bulk density (106 lbs per cubic foot), K9 Sand ensures optimal ballast, preventing wrinkling and maintaining a pristine appearance.
THE BENEFITS OF K9 SAND
When it comes to caring for the environment, K9 Sand stands above its competition. It’s non-toxic, has no heavy metals and plastics, and embodies an unwavering dedication to the well-being of our planet. Additionally, K9 Sand offers distinctive features that make it the perfect infill solution for Oakley artificial grass for pets. It effectively minimizes the odor of urine (see Figure 2).
Urine’s smell comes from the volatilization of ammonia. K9 Sand combats this issue by inhibiting the breakdown of ammonia in urine. Additionally, K9 Sand stops the growth of bacteria, similar to other turf infills with anti-microbial additives (see Figure 3). These remarkable benefits are attained without the need for any additives or coatings — K9 Sand is simply extracted from the ocean, carefully cleaned, and delivered to your doorstep.
