Turf Fabric

FieldTurf does not depend on an underlying shock pad for resilience and player comfort. Instead, the grass fibers are surrounded and stabilized by the company’s patented mixture of smooth rounded silica sand and rubber granules. Tire rubber is cryogenically frozen, shattered into smooth, clean, rounded particles and sized and shaped to stay “in suspension” with the silica sand. The sand and rubber are precision layered for uniformity.

The distance between the rows for fibers tufted into the backing is directly related to the height pile fibers. Polyethylene fiber is treated with UV inhibitors and is abrasion resistant so that athletes can slide without fear of turf burns, according to the company.
