Get to Know Partac Peat-Beam Clay!

BEAM CLAY® began nearly 100 years ago to provide clay to the new US Open natural clay tennis courts in 1922.  Later it began supplying clay to the NY Yankees and eventually sold products to every MLB team, most minor  league teams, and thousands of colleges, schools, and towns in all 50 states and in over 30 countries.  We now supply over 10,000 products for all sports with natural or synthetic surfaces.  Our signature and unique BEAM CLAY® surfaces are available for baseball, softball, cricket, tennis, bocce, horseshoes, track, equestrian arenas, BMX tracks, etc., in bulk or bags thru AEPA for all 50 states and all climates from plants across the USA.

Although BEAM CLAY® supplies thousands of products as diverse as bases, ball netting, wall padding, and windscreen, supplying baseball and softball facilities with infield mixes, mound and batter’s box clay, and red warning tracks remains our core business from our unique clay mines.

What makes BEAM CLAY® so special, especially for baseball/softball infields?  BEAM CLAY® is able to control the silt content of its mixes.  Silt plugs up drainage causing infields to require more conditioners and work and time to make infields playable in wet conditions.  In dry weather, silt increases compaction and makes infields hard, dusty, and harder to maintain.  Silt separates and increases wind and water erosion and consequently requires replacement more often.  Many infield mixes on the market contain 33% or more silt.  We keep silt as low as possible in our BEAM CLAY® infield mixes (under 10% and generally around 3-4%) and that is one of the reasons why our infield mixes play and maintain so much better.
