FlexSand Action Advantages over Crumb Rubber Infill
FlexSand® Action elastomer coated infill outperforms crumb rubber and sand in a number of important areas:
Ultra-low abrasive index
— the smooth elastomer coating causes far less skin and eye irritation.
Won’t cling to skin or uniforms
— FlexSand Action has no static charge, making it far less likely to irritate wounds and abrasions, or to be carried away from the field under static charge.
Absorbs shock
— Independently tested in both North America and Europe, FlexSand Action exceeds the ASTM sub-committee new installation and field in use GMax guidelines for shock absorption, and has received UEFA Certification using certain specific construction methods.
UV resistant
— Unlike rubber, FlexSand Action won’t lose elasticity when exposed to sunlight, and continues to be shock absorbent after exposure to the elements.
Won’t “kick out”
— FlexSand Action is heavier than crumb rubber, and stays in place to maintain an even distribution of infill. Less “spray” reduces the likelihood of inhalation and eye irritations.
Keeps fields and players cooler
— Elastomer coated sand absorbs less heat than black crumb rubber, and cools down faster. On average, FlexSand Action keeps fields 20°F / 11°C cooler than crumb rubber infill systems.
Better wash-out resistance
— Unlike crumb rubber FlexSand Action doesn’t float, so rain won’t wash it away, reducing maintenance costs and the potential for hazardous run-off issues.
Custom coatings
— meet your specific requirements with coarse to fine particle size; round and sub-angular grain shapes; with coatings to match your GMax shock absorption requirements.
