As this blog is being written in October of 2020, consumers and business decisions makers around the world are asking more questions than ever about where to find the right products that will provide enhanced cleanliness and offer peace of mind given a historical increase in concerns about surface bacteria. We are watching in real time as professional sports leagues make decisions about whether they conduct sporting seasons or postpone games. Common areas like athletic fields, playgrounds, dog parks, and outdoor rooftop areas where we all once congregated for play and fun are now marked with social distancing reminders and hand sanitizer stations. At this particular moment, cleaner products and surfaces are top of mind for most of us venturing outside of our homes and are a key ingredient for decision makers who manage sporting facilities and outdoor recreation areas. In this blog, we’ll highlight the key benefits around Envirofill® with Microban® by USGreentech, just one of our many valued partners who proactively manufactures cleaner and longer lasting products that you should be paying attention to.
What is Envirofill?
Envirofill is an acrylic coated infill product that is produced by USGreentech and treated with powerful antimicrobial technology by Microban. Infill is located within the base of a synthetic turf system to support the turf blades and act as the ballast, footing, and athletic shock absorption component of the turf system. While some turf system owners have historically used what is known in the industry as “crumb rubber” as their turf infill, sports facilities and municipalities around the country are looking for safe, cleaner, more attractive options for their added artificial turf systems. That’s where Envirofill with Microban comes in. Envirofill was designed to be the cleanest and safest turf on the market, and with the addition of Microban antimicrobial product protection, Envirofill is resistant to the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew that can cause staining, odors, and ultimate product degradation.
