Fibresand is the original
and unique polypropylene fibre reinforced silica sand
that is mainly used for incorporation into winter sports
pitch rootzones in order to provide extra stability to
the turf surface.
This reinforcement effect
is particularly advantageous when grass cover has been
reduced due to heavy usage and wear during the winter
period.
Straight polypropylene
fibres, typically 35mm (length) and 0.1mm (diameter), are
used in order to achieve a completely random
distribution throughout the matrix of sand particles –
producing a completely homogeneous but very cohesive
material.
When incorporated into an
upper sand/soil rootzone and consolidated, the fibres
act as a mass of indestructible synthetic grass roots effectively
reinforcing or stabilising the rootzone and producing a
tighter, more divot resistant surface.
Fibresand is available in
two standard grades, both based on M45 sand and
differing in fibre content only:
Fibresand Standard: Fibre
content 0.45% w/w
Fibresand Concentrate: Fibre
content 0.90% w/w
Other fibre contents in the range 0.1-1.2% w/w can be
produced on request.
Delivery is in the form of bulk tippers of 10,16 and 20
tonne net rigid vehicles or 28/29 tonnes in articulated
vehicles. It is also available in 1 tonne minibulk bags
on request.
