TECHNICAL DATA                     EcoFlo™           Dynamic DrainageBlanket

 

EcoFlo™ is a high compressive-strength, moisture conducting, non-absorbent geo-composite drainage and shock attenuationblanket, made from recycled materials, for use with vertically-draining artificial turf systems. EcoFlo™ is a two-part pre-fabricated composite that consists of a formed polystyrene core with integral expansion joints, 10’O.C. The core is covered on one or two sides with a non-woven polypropylenefilter fabric. The filter fabric allows water to pass freely into the core while restricting any movement of infill or other particles that might clog the core. The core provides a high compressive-strength structure that allows water to flow to designated outflows. The use of EcoFlo™ greatly reduces risk factors associated with poor subsurface soils. Installation provides an uninterrupted vertical-to-horizontal flow path for superior rainfall evacuation and enhanced G-max and P-max performance without changing the ball-action or feel under-foot. The integrity of the system moisture-seal is maintained by use of an impervious bonding tape, which also expands and contracts, thus maintaining the function of the integral expansion joints.
