Southwest Greens proudly presents a revolutionary breakthrough in organic infill for synthetic grass that’s safe for pets: K9 Sand. This extraordinary product not only boasts a completely natural composition, but it’s also sustainable and carbon-negative, actively removing more carbon from the air than is required for extracting it. Read on to discover more about K9 Sand for Phoenix 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 regarding the benefits of incorporating K9 Sand into your turf project.
K9 Sand is well known for its uniform hard, round grains, carefully picked to elevate performance (see Figure 1). Responsibly harvested from naturally occurring and sustainable deposits on the ocean shelf, K9 Sand ensures environmental sustainability. Southwest Greens utilizes sustainable extraction practices, harvesting less than 10% of the total amount renewed each year. This commitment to environmental stewardship ensures that our 100% environmentally friendly and green turf infill remains in balance with nature.
Once you buy a bag of Southwest Greens' K9 Sand, you will appreciate its small and uniform grain size, which makes installation a breeze. The uniform and round shape of the grains creates tiny spaces between neighboring particles, drastically boosting water drainage. Moreover, the gentle 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 don't end there — K9 Sand also helps to keep surface of the turf cool. Each grain of K9 Sand has tiny pores that retain water. As the surface temperature rises, the water in these microscopic openings is released, which allows cooling through evaporation and reducing the temperature by approximately 20°F compared to standard turf infills. With its high bulk density (106 pounds per cubic foot), K9 Sand ensures maximum ballast, preventing wrinkling and maintaining a pristine appearance.
THE BENEFITS OF K9 SAND
When it comes to caring for the environment, K9 Sand stands head and shoulders above its competition. It is non-toxic, has no heavy metals and plastics, and embodies an uncompromising commitment to the well-being of our planet. Additionally, K9 Sand offers unique qualities that make it the ideal infill solution for Phoenix artificial grass for pets. It drastically decreases the odor of urine (see Figure 2).
Urine’s odor comes from the volatilization of ammonia. K9 Sand addresses this issue by stopping the hydrolysis of ammonia in urine. Additionally, K9 Sand inhibits the growth of bacteria, similar to other turf infills with bacteria-reducing additives (see Figure 3). These remarkable benefits are realized without the need for any additives or coatings — K9 Sand is simply obtained from the ocean, meticulously cleaned, and transported to your doorstep.
