Wax Polymer Ballyard Mixes

Premium Infield & Warning Track Mixes

Why wait two days to play on your field after a storm? Play the minute the storm is over; play during the storm if you want to. Our Burma Red Granite Wax Polymer Infield Mix is a wax-coated aggregate that creates a field that is waterless, dustless, and completely free of mud, allowing you to play more while saving hours in maintenance and watering. Wax Polymer infields are so unique you have to see it to believe it. See the water bead up on the surface. Watch the home team’s confidence in their fielding ability.

The warning track is an important surface on the field, actually warning players of impending danger. If the warning track is so important, why do we spend so little time building and maintaining it? You can be sure of your players’ safety without time consuming maintenance. Burma Red Wax Polymer Warning Track Mix is enhanced with polymeric wax. The wax polymer binds the stone particles together, keeping it stable. When running full speed after a line drive, your players won’t have to worry about loose footing—just the wall. Burma Red Wax Polymer Warning Track Mix is slightly coarser than the infield mix, giving your players the familiar “crunch” under foot that they expect when approaching the wall. Your players won’t have to worry about sinking into mud either—again, just the wall. The wax-coated aggregate provides protection from the elements: rain, snow, and drought. Protection from drought means you won’t ever have to water your warning track again. Also, your fans will thank you, as you can drive your maintenance vehicles on and off the fields without covering the bleachers in dust.

Why would I use Kafka Wax Polymer ball yard mixes?

Our wax polymer infield or warning track is fit for the big leagues. Instead of being made of what the most typical ball yard mixes are made from—sand, silt and clay—our wax polymer ball yard mixes are made from decomposed granite and its unending benefits.

This state-of-the-art infield innovation renders a field waterless, dustless and mud-free. Players can get back to playing immediately after a storm or even while it’s still raining without the worry of puddles, mud, or a pitting infield, warning track or mound.

Kafka’s wax polymer coating makes it so you can actually watch water bead up on the surface of the field. No longer will players—or fans—have to wait hours or days to continue a game after rainfall.

What’s the difference between Wax Polymer infield mix and warning track mix?

Kafka offers Burma Red Wax Polymer Infield Mix and Burma Red Wax Polymer Warning Track Mix. While the differences are subtle, they get the job done in the best way possible.

Burma Red Wax Polymer Infield Mix is a derivative of our standard infield mix: It’s made of decomposed granite crushed to the perfect size to provide stable footing and consistent ball hops and sliding for player perfection and audience enjoyment. Our Wax Polymer Infield Mix, however, includes a coating of cutting-edge polymer that instantly sheds water.

Our Burma Red Warning Track mix is the same premium duo of decomposed granite and wax polymer as the infield mix, but the granite is crushed to a slightly larger size. The slightly coarser size of the warning track mix provides players with a good “crunch” under foot to warn them of the impending wall around the field’s perimeter. There’s no more need to worry about loose footing, just the wall.

Where would I use Wax Polymer mixes?

Our Burma Red Wax Polymer Infield Mix is ideal for a newly constructed ball yards and requires an installation at a 2”–3” depth.
