Fast action-packed game – the synthetic turf can handle it

The popularity of American football in North America is evident during the annual National Football League final, one of the biggest global individual sporting events in the world. On average, 111 million US spectators follow the Super Bowl, and 800 million viewers worldwide. American football was originally created from a mixture of rugby and football. From 1869, the sport developed into an independent team sport at the universities of the East Coast states. According to the NFL/College rules, an American football pitch has to be 120 yards long and 53⅓ yards wide.

Synthetic turf for American football is well damped, non-slip and skin-friendly

An American football field is made of natural grass or synthetic turf. As American football is a fairly rough sport, all 22 players wear a helmet and padding. Our American football pitches also provide protection to the players. As an experienced synthetic turf manufacturer, we designed these synthetic turf structures so that they are optimally suited to sports with a high level of ground contact, with their good damping, skin-friendly properties and slip resistance, as well as having a pile height of 60mm. A filling of sand and rubber granulate ensures perfect shock absorption, and is the ideal prerequisite for a fast match of quick turning movements and rough tackling.

PolyCoat: The sustainable PU coating for synthetic turf

In order to firmly secure and stabilise the filament studs in the synthetic turf throughout its service life, the rear side of a turf carpet is usually coated with latex. A PU coating is even more functional, environmentally friendly and recyclable.

Polytan SMART

Polytan SMART for synthetic turf enables precise performance diagnostics for footballers, hockey players and rugby players, as well as for athletes of other types of grass sports. All essential parameters can be accurately measured and evaluated with the system, including agility tests.
