Infield Conditioners
Play Ball Regular Infield Conditioner
Play Ball Regular Infield Conditioner is a kiln-fired diatomaceous earth (DE) particle that has been hardened long enough to withstand the stress demands of baseball and softball infields. This material is exceptional when used as a Infield Conditioner due to its absorption and moisture retention capabilities.
Extremely light red in color, Play Ball Regular has been designed to meet the challenge of wet, dry or compacted infields. Due to its makeup, it is less abrasive than other infield conditioners, and is the most volumous material within the infield conditioner class. Its unique granule, which is comprised of 82% open pore space, is extremely absorbent and helps create porous space required for drainage and recovery.
The design philosophy behind using Diatomaceous Earth as an infield conditioner focuses on Absorption, Moisture Retention, Volume, and improving Soil Structure.
