Base for playing field with a particulate layer and binder comprising a silicate based component and setting agent.

摘要

A base and method of forming a base (10) for a playing field comprising a layer of particulate material (16) forming at least an upper part of the base and a binder applied to the layer of particulate material. The binder extends from about 5 mm to about 100 mm into the layer of particles. The binder acts to bind at least the uppermost part of the layer of particulate material. The layer is porous to water such that water applied to a surface of the base flows through the layer. The binder comprises a first composition including a silicate-based component and a second composition including at least one setting agent comprising ethylene glycol diacetate. The first composition and the second composition are mixed to form the binder.
