Zeolite is primarily used as an added infill, which is placed under the turf as well as at the base of the fibers to manage odor control. Zeolite is the #1 choice for pet turf areas for odor control. Zeolite is not made to withstand heavy traffic to keep fibers in a vertical state. The granular structure resembles a \u201choneycomb\u201d appearance and does not constitute a stable grain to be installed as a complete infill. Zeolite should be mixed with SGW Envirofill or SGW Round Premium Silica (RPS) infill.<\/p> <p>When Zeolite is wet, it absorbs up to 81% of its original weight in water and 55% of its weight in urine. However, once the granule dries out, it returns to its original state and is not heavy enough to keep the synthetic turf ballasted, which may allow wrinkles in the turf.<\/p> <p>Under a microscope, Zeolite resembles a \u201choneycomb\u201d structure. It is much softer infill than Envirofill or Silica sand. Because Zeolite becomes softer after it absorbs liquids, it is not a good candidate to be used as a 100% infill for synthetic turf.<\/p> <p>For more information contact J.W. at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:askjw@sgwcorp.com\">askjw@sgwcorp.com<\/a>\u00a0or call\u00a0<a href=\"tel:8888463598\">888.846.3598<\/a><\/p> <p>To read more about this topic,<\/p> <div class=\"fusion-button-wrapper\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-custom fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-span-no fusion-has-button-gradient special_anim-btn\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:30px;--awb-margin-right:12px;--awb-padding-top:16px;--awb-padding-right:16px;--awb-padding-bottom:16px;--awb-padding-left:16px;--button_accent_color:#000000;--button_accent_hover_color:#ffffff;--button_border_hover_color:#000000;--button_border_width-top:1px;--button_border_width-right:1px;--button_border_width-bottom:1px;--button_border_width-left:1px;--button_gradient_top_color:rgba(255,255,255,0);--button_gradient_bottom_color:rgba(255,255,255,0);--button_gradient_top_color_hover:rgba(255,255,255,0);--button_gradient_bottom_color_hover:rgba(0,0,0,0);--button_text_transform:uppercase;--button_font_size:20px;\" target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/syntheticgrasswarehouse.com\/company\/ask-an-expert\/ask-jw\/zeolite-a-perfect-complement-to-your-infill\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-icon-divider button-icon-divider-left\"><i class=\"fa-angle-double-right fas awb-button__icon awb-button__icon--default\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default fusion-button-text-left\">Learn More<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many installers ask \u201cWhy can\u2019t I use Zeolite as the  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30840,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ask-jw"],"acf":{"ask_jw_page_link":"http:\/\/syntheticgrasswarehouse.com\/company\/ask-an-expert\/ask-jw\/zeolite-a-perfect-complement-to-your-infill\/","global_photo_sets":"","section_1":{"header":"","textblock":""},"section_2":{"textblock":""},"section_3":{"header":"","textblock":""},"section_4":{"textblock":""},"section_5":{"header":"","textblock":""},"warranty":{"textblock":""},"section_6":{"header":"","textblock":""},"video_link":"","transcript":"","video_link_proof":"","transcript_proof":""},"origin_id":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
