About this item
- The conditioner on more diamonds. Profile says that since 1963 no other conditioner has been used on more diamonds than Turface MVP.
- Large particles that resist compaction. The larger particle size resists compaction and controls moisture, which makes MVP Profile's pick for infield maintenance as well as construction.
- Fewer rainouts. Each calcined clay particle is porous, takes in excess water and releases it back into the mix as the field dries, per Profile.
- Smoother play. Applied as a topdressing, it helps level the surface and reduce bad ball hops; Profile describes the result as solid, safe footing through the season.
- Works on turf too. On turf, MVP absorbs excess water to prevent muddy, torn up turf, conditions the soil to resist compaction and adds permanent water and air holding space for turf recovery.
- Built to last. Sulfate soundness (ASTM C88) and static degradation testing at not more than 4% loss over 20 years.

How to Install Turface MVP
- For a new or renovated field, pre-blend MVP into the skinned infield mix or rootzone mix before it goes down.
- For an existing field, work it in with a reverse tine tiller.
- Amend the infield or rootzone mix at 15% by volume, 4 in (10 cm) deep. Profile puts that at 1,800 lb per 1,000 sq ft, about 36 of these 50 lb bags.
- To improve an existing surface, apply MVP as a topdressing. Profile publishes no topdressing rate.
