What is the difference between Vitriturf Binder and Vitriturf Aliphatic Binder?
The standard Vitriturf Binder is what the industry calls an aromatic binder. This is the binder most of our competitors use for both their base mat and wearing course. Aromatic binders are good, but they do not offer much Ultra Violet protection.
Aromatic binders amber, so when they are mixed with certain colors such as grey, tan, purple and eggshell they cast a yellow appearance. It is fine to utilize aromatic binders in the base mat and colors that will not exhibit much ambering such as red, black and green. Because aromatic binders do not offer much ultraviolet protection they chalk over time and eventually break down. Once they breakdown they do not hold the granules together and the system will fail.
Aliphatic binders will provide what the aromatic binder cannot. Aliphatic binders are ultraviolet resistant so the granules remain color fast. Because the aliphatic binder is ultra violet resistant it will not breakdown as fast and will offer a longer life to the system. Because of our introduction of the aliphatic binder to the poured in place industry, this binder is now being specified throughout the United States as the preferred binder.
