Description
SOPRAFLOR X is a growing medium formulated according to the requirements and criteria of the German FLL for non-irrigated and low maintenance SOPRANATURE systems.
Material Use:
SOPRAFLOR X is a specialized growing medium designed for use in extensive green roofing systems. It is formulated to meet the requirements of the German FLL guidelines, making it ideal for non-irrigated, low-maintenance vegetative roofing applications. This substrate supports the growth of drought-tolerant vegetation and is a key component in SOPRANATURE green roof systems.
System Components:
SOPRAFLOR X is used as part of the SOPRANATURE system, which typically includes a waterproofing membrane, root barrier, drainage layer, filter fabric, and the growing medium. SOPRAFLOR X serves as the growing substrate layer and may be used in conjunction with enrichment products to enhance plant growth, depending on project-specific requirements.
Applications:
SOPRAFLOR X is intended for use in extensive green roof systems where vegetation with low water needs is desired. Suitable plant types include sedums, dry prairie grasses, dry flower meadows, and other drought-resistant species. It is ideal for projects seeking sustainable, low-maintenance green roofing solutions.
Application Details:
The substrate should be evenly spread using a rake and thoroughly watered until fully saturated. It is available in various packaging formats including 25 L bags, 1 to 1.5 yd³ totes, and bulk per cubic yard, depending on the region (West, East, Ontario). The product is tested in accordance with ASTM E2397, ASTM E2399, and Mehlich III extraction methods to ensure performance consistency.
Special Notes:
- SOPRAFLOR X is regionally formulated, with slight variations in composition and physical properties depending on the location (West, East, Ontario).
- Water retention capacity ranges from 41.5% to 48.2%, and air porosity ranges from 15% to 27.5%.
- The pH level is slightly acidic to neutral (6.7 to 7.3), and organic matter content ranges from 3.7% to 8.9%.
- The density of the material varies by moisture content and region, with dry densities ranging from 798 to 1170 kg/m³ and saturated densities up to 1590 kg/m³.
- SOPRAFLOR X is not a liquid-applied material and does not have pot life, curing time, or temperature limitations typical of coatings or sealants.
- For complete installation guidance, consultation with a SOPREMA representative is recommended to ensure compatibility with other SOPRANATURE system components and site-specific conditions.
