| The synthetic
grass fiber is polyethylene (PE).
PE is the most common plastic
on the planet earth. Every person
comes into contact with and utilizes
PE every single day of their lives.
It is used for milk cartons, soft
drink bottles, grocery bags, children’s
toys, and so many other products
as would exceed the imagination.
PE is simply composed of common
carbon and hydrogen. There are
no known human or animal risks
by contact, proximity or ingestion. |
 |
| The Backing
into which the synthetic grass
is woven is polypropylene (PP).
This product is almost identical
to PE except that it contains,
in addition to hydrogen and carbon,
a methyl group component. This
component renders PP stiffer in
certain respects and more durable
under extreme temperatures than
is PE. The PP product is regularly
encountered in every day life.
It is used for microwave dishes,
frozen food containers, auto parts,
outdoor furniture and many other
common items. There are no known
human or animal risks by contact,
proximity or ingestion. |
 |
| Upon the Backing
is imposed a sealant urethane
Coating which holds the Fibers
in place. Urethane is a related
polymer product similar to PP
and PE but it adds a nitrogen
component. The result produces
a flexible rubber-like plastic
more common in every day life
than either PP or PE. Urethane,
in its various forms, is found
in clothing, furniture, carpets,
appliances and hundreds more various
items and uses. Urethane presents
no risks of any kind to any living
thing. |
 |
| The rubber
used for the “In-Fill Process”
is cryogenically produced recycled
rubber whose raw material is used
tires, old tennis shoes and other
discarded rubber products. The
finished product is a fractured,
ground, washed, dried, and sterile
product which is free of impurities.
It is of a particle size similar
to a medium grade of sand. There
is no hazardous or harmful aspects
associated with this product. |
 |
| The sand used
for the “In-Fill Process”
is common, tan colored, children’s
play sand. It contains no silica,
it is free of asbestos and it
contains no impurities of any
kind. The play sand is dry and
completely sterile at the time
of installation. The play sand
is as safe as any manufactured
product known and is clearly preferable
to natural soils. |
