Stabilizer Solutions

Performance of the horse is measured in victories. What about the track? Slippage and injuries are measures of an inconsistent track. How can you make your turf track more consistent and durable over many races? Add more roots. StaLok Fiber is a synthetic fiber that mimics a natural grass root. The fiber stabilizes the root zone underneath, so the turf on top can withstand impact. Many fibers intertwined with grass roots creates a network. With the fiber’s flexible strength multiplied across the network, impact can be spread- increasing the turf’s load bearing capacity. With greater load bearing capacity, the turf is durable over many races.

When grass roots grow together with StaLok Fiber, the roots themselves become stronger. They are less likely to tear out of the ground- increasing the turf’s shear strength. Increased shear strength reduces slippage- the hoof can dig in without the turf tearing apart. This means fewer divots that can lead to injuries and wear down the track sooner.

The network makes the surface stronger, but will the grass look good? StaLok Fiber increases strength and pore space. It is like a hammock: strands of rope intertwined can support your weight, even with spaces between the strands. More pore space means reduced compaction, proper drainage and air filled porosity, so your turf can grow properly and recover from stress quickly.
