32 COMPANI ES A- Z Blinder Bunker Liner Blinder Bunker USA 1 Greenbriar Drive Mohnton PA 19540 USA Contact: Alan FitzGerald Tel: +1 610 678 0889 blinderusa@comcast.net theblinder.com Blinder Bunker Liner is the original, porous, seamless, and completely flexible bunker liner. It was developed to be the consummate solution to bunker maintenance and contamination issues. The first trial bunkers were installed in 2008, with the commercial launch in 2011. Blinder has since been installed in over 1,500 bunkers throughout the world. Blinder uses recycled rubber mixed onsite with a binding agent to create a flexible porous liner. The unique properties of Blinder are that it is resistant to club strikes along with its ability to withstand extreme changes in temperature and the associated expansion and contraction of surrounding soil due to prevailing weather conditions. It also offers all the other benefits of a porous liner such as providing a fast, free draining medium that prevents and eliminates washouts. This in turn provides a barrier to stones working up from the base, minimising contamination of the sand, all while improving the consistency and playability of bunkers. Breedon Special Aggregates Breedon Quarry Main Street Breedon on the Hill Derby Derbyshire DE73 8AP UK Contact: Dave Brown Tel: +44 1332 694001 specialaggs@breedongroup.com www.breedon-special-aggregates.co.uk Breedon Golden Amber gravel is the most prestigious self-binding gravel on the market, renowned for its robust performance and soft, natural appearance which complements the rustic and rural surroundings of many UK golf courses. It is a 100 per cent natural material, quarried from selected hard limestone in south Derbyshire. Once having been water rolled, the marl content within it acts as a natural binder, which enables the product to knit together to form a durable, solid base with a surface that lightly scarifies with use. As such, it is an ideal choice for footpaths, golf courses, buggy parks, driveways and car parks. Breedon gravel is easy to lay either by hand or through a paving machine. Since it requires no specialist equipment, maintenance teams can lay and preserve the material themselves. Breedon Golden Amber gravel artic can be supplied loose tipped in quantities from five tonnes up to 30-tonne artic loads, or in individual 800-kilogram bulk bags for smaller maintenance projects.
