ArenaRx’s KleenBinder - A “Kleen”-er Solution for Dusty Arenas, Stalls, Runs, Roundpens, Walkways, and Walkers… wherever dust is an Equestrian Environmental problem!
ArenaRx® is a patented, two-part system designed for the delivery of high-performance dust control. The system consists of a custom-engineered synthetic carrier fluid and the KleenBinder® viscoelastic polymer binder made by Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc. specifically for Good4Dirt – Dust and Soil Solutions.
The synthetic carrier fluid is engineered on a micro-scale to optimize the ability of ArenaRx® to penetrate footing surfaces and permeate deep into individual sand, soil, and aggregate particles. This unique blend is designed ensure that ArenaRx® distributes its powerful KleenBinder® binder system evenly throughout the surface and coats all sand/soil and aggregate particles throughout the depth of the footing and on hardpacked areas to a depth of 2 – 3 inches.
From a performance standpoint, the KleenBinder® properties are truly stunning. KleenBinder® is specifically designed to have excellent adhesion properties and an extremely high viscosity. The polymeric binder behaves as both a viscous fluid and as an elastic solid. This phenomenon is possible because the KleenBinder® is composed of very large and highly branched polymer molecules. In an equestrian setting such as an arena, these branches create a network of fiber-like tentacles that coats the sand/soil footing particles and intertwines, tangles and captures silt and clay sized dust-causing particles resulting in a strongly bound matrix. When we say “absorption” and “adsorption” we truly mean ArenaRx® delivers it like no other competitive product.
Under the microscope, ArenaRx® penetrates the surface, the carrier fluid permeates into the footing’s microscopic pores but the KleenBinder®intertwines and becomes entangled on the exterior surface of each particle. This phenomenon causes a high concentration of KleenBinder® to accumulate on the particle surfaces, which activates the polymer design features. The large molecular weight and high viscosity of the binder create powerful adhesive and cohesive forces that lock soil particles together. An additional benefit to the KleenBinder® system is that it cannot be displaced by water because the large, high molecular weight molecules adhere to soil particles and are too large to be displaced or dislodged.
The KleenBinder® system is essential to ArenaRx®, and it plays a critical role in its performance while extending the longevity of the surface. It’s what separates the best from the rest.
