    Polytan has been a driving force in creating innovative, sustainable sports surfaces. With decades of expertise and a deep understanding of the unique conditions in Northern Europe, we provide solutions that not only enhance performance but also care for the environment.

    The ability to play and train year-round is essential for many football clubs. A modern artificial turf system must therefore offer optimal playing conditions in any weather. At Polytan, we have developed a system that withstands heavy rain, wind, frost, and snow. Our LigaTurf Cross R with the new BioFusion infill is a sustainable artificial turf system specifically designed for extreme weather conditions – durable and robust from the turf fibers to the infill granules.

    LigaTurf Cross R: green turf innovation

    LigaTurf Cross R combines the playing characteristics of a natural football pitch with technologies that make it as robust and easy to maintain as fully textured artificial turf. Featuring fibers that include recycled material, the turf is part of the Polytan Green Technology product line – a new generation of advanced products blending cutting-edge technological expertise from the plastics industry with the functional and ecological benefits of renewable raw materials or climate-friendly alternative technologies.

    Polytan is committed to sustainability and produces LigaTurf Cross R from recycled plastic sourced from the transportation and packaging industries. Approximately 20% of the blend consists of recycled granules made with PCR material (Post-Consumer Recycled). Through upcycling, a waste product is transformed into high-quality artificial turf with a lifespan of up to 15 years.

    • Certified sustainability in accordance with the International Sustainability & Carbon Certificate (ISCC)
    • Reduced share of fossil raw materials
    • Low carbon footprint and energy consumption
    • Certified use of recycled raw materials according to the ISCC mass balance approach

    Extremely high performance. Extremely sustainable design.

    Our complete system approach integrates top-tier turf technology, infill systems, and elastic layers that meet the highest standards for durability and ecological impact.

    Polytan’s solutions are designed with long-term sustainability in mind, using recycled materials to create the ideal conditions for professional and recreational sports alike.

    Learn more about the individual components of our artificial turf systems below.

    The Perfect Turf for Nordic Conditions

    ‍LigaTurf Cross R combines straight and textured filaments with recycled materials to deliver exceptional durability, even in extreme weather conditions.

    Thanks to the well-rounded combination of filaments, it offers easy and reduced maintenance, better stabilization of the infill, and more turf volume. The balanced filament structure ensures reduced maintenance, better stabilization of the infill material, and a higher turf volume.

    LigaTurf Trion R combines straight and textured filaments to ensure excellent ball rolling behavours and stability, making it perfect for cold, wet environments while staying eco-friendly.

    With its three different shades of green, the LigaTurf Trion R has a natural grass-like appearance, making it a real eye-catcher.

    BioFusion Infill: No Freezing, Year-Round Play

    Polytan’s BioFusion Infill is a unique blend of olive pits and cork to ensure the infill is 100% organic and free from microplastics. It combines the benefits of both materials while compensating for the drawbacks. The infill also compensates for temperature differences by cooling the surface in hot weather and not freezing in cold temperatures.

    Thanks to its increased weight compared to pure cork, BioFusion Infill is more resistant to wind and weather. The soft cork provides a pleasant feel underfoot, while the use of olive pits reduces water retention, improving drainage.

    In addition to the BioFusion Infill, the turf systems are available with sand as an infill or completely unfilled, ensuring that all options remain microplastic-free.

    Infill Climate Zones

    Choosing the right infill for your climate is the key to ensuring optimal turf performance year-round.

    • Northern Europe: In colder climates with frequent rain, the infill needs to have excellent water permeability and should not freeze in low temperatures.
    • BioFusion is the perfect solution for these regions, offering superior drainage and performance even in freezing conditions.
    • Southern Europe: With its abundant sunshine and warm temperatures, it’s essential to use an infill that helps cool the surface and prevents overheating. A cooling, heat-resistant infill is the best choice for these regions.
    Long-Lasting Elasticity to Protect Athletes’ Joints

    The PolyBase GT layer offers superior shock absorption and stability. It acts as a cushioning layer between the turf and the ground, enhancing player safety. Unlike traditional asphalt-based systems, PolyBase GT provides better flexibility and shock absorption, which is especially important for reducing impact injuries.

    Designed for high-performance sports facilities, it features excellent drainage properties, ensuring quick water runoff and preventing surface water accumulation — an essential feature for Nordic climates.

    Alternatively, Polytan also offers a shock pad system, which can be used as an elastic base layer. All system variants are tested in accordance with EN 15330-1, Nordic standards, and the FIFA Quality Programme for Football Turf.
