PolyBase GT - Elastic Layer
Verified by manufacturer 26 days ago
Green technology elastic layer.
Application
In situ shock pads for synthetic turf systems.
Description
Polytan PolyBase GT combines the benefits of in situ elastic layers with the environmental benefits of a recycled product and a new technology for carbon dioxide utilisation. cardyon® is the name of the product from German polymer manufacturer Covestro which is the first company in the world to successfully use CO2 as a raw material for the manufacture of plastics. Cardyon®, which consists of up to 20% natural carbon dioxide, is used for the permanently elastic binding of the rubber granules. Use of the post-consumer recycled materials (ELT-SBR) also contributes to an improved life-cycle assessment.
Features and benefits:
- Lifetime over 35 years.
- SBR rubber granules from 100% post-consumer recycling.
- Easy reconditioning and reuse of the PolyBase GT for synthetic turf.
- Polytan PU binding agent saves up to 20% CO2.
- Strictest soil and groundwater compatibility tests.
- Perfect player protection thanks to permanent elasticity.
- Avoidance of surface sealing thanks to water permeability.
