All Natural Traction Helper and Slip Stopper

Sand provides traction, but when the sand is washed off of our driveways and sidewalks it creates a mess that has to be cleaned up in the spring. It builds up on lawn edges over the winter and kills the grass come spring. Sand creates particulates and dust that can add to air-quality problems. Sand acts like a sandblaster damaging the finish on cars. And ultimately, all that sand finds its way into storm drains and ends up in lakes, rivers and streams, increasing the amount of sediment there. This extra sediment harms the environment for fish and other aquatic organisms.

The reasons for limiting sand use are obvious, but what's a homeowner to do? The simple solution is AlfaTrak. AlfaTrak is the eco-friendly solution to winter traction control. AlfaTrak is a 100% green product that effectively prevents winter slips and falls without damaging property, harming our health, or contaminating the environment. AlfaTrak is the best "green" solution to lowering winter maintenance/liability costs while still being environmentally sensitive.

Spread AlfaTrak alfalfa meal on slippery paths to provide traction on ice and snow. Gritty AlfaTrak provides an environmentally friendly traction helper for walkways and driveways that won't damage concrete, flagstones, brick or stone.

Alfa-Track traction control and sidewalk de-icer couldn't be easier. It's fast, it's effective, it's non-toxic, it's biodegradable and it not only doesn't burn your lawn like salt and some of the other de-icers, it fertilizes it instead. This completely natural fertilizer contains nitrogen to promote ice melting and has a texture to provide traction while it works. In spring, the alfalfa serves as a nitrogen-fertilizer for surrounding greenery.

Is AlfaTrak cost effective?

YES. Our research showed that a 50 lb bag of AlfaTrak can cover up 5000 square feet safely and effectively. That makes AlfaTrak very cost effective at only about $.07 per square foot. That may be slightly more than sand, but AlfaTrak comes with zero damaging effects and is a breeze to work with. AlfaTrack also has multiple uses and make a great fertilizer. Now that's real value for the money. Comparatively, the cost of rock salt for example never includes their destructive impacts to our property, the environment, or to our health that makes them considerably more expensive. Research from the U.S. Transportation Research Board (1991) showed that every ton of salt used for ice melting creates downstream damage of at least $2,000 per ton.

Why should I use AlfaTrak when sand is cheaper?

AlfaTrak is very comparable to sand, in cost. AlfTrak costs only a few cents more per square yard than sand. Adding in the damage to your lawn or property repairs you may need to make as a result of using too much sand and the costs are about the same. Taking into consideration ALL the destructive impacts sand can have; damage to your property, damage to the environment and damage to your health, sand becomes much more expensive than AlfaTrak in the long run.

How long will AlfaTrak keep?

If stored in a cool, dry place, AlfaTrak will remain effective for several years.
