More specifically, the cleaning of artificial grass sports courts is allowed, such as those dedicated to the practice of paddle tennis, tennis, football, baseball, golf, rugby, etc.
  • the artificial grass that is used in sports courts has to be filled with a generally granulometry silica sand that is usually between 0.5 and 0.8 microns to prevent the fibers or hair from sticking. This prevents them from curving downwards and ensures that they remain loose, achieving an effect of freshly cut grass, damping the tread and the ball or ball bounce.
  • the silica content of said sand must generally be greater than 96%.
  • the silica sand cakes leaving the track with a texture similar to that of concrete, so stepping on it shows a hardness that can cause problems for athletes, from foot burns to injuries to knees, ankles and other parts of the body.
