Backing.

Sprinturf's patented Stabilon™, sandwich-style, primary backing with its high grade polyurethane secondary coating is the only product on the market that fulfills all the requirements for all-rubber systems by making the system considerably stronger than our competitors' backings. The Sprinturf backing system also provides superior tuft bind and the best dimensional stability in the industry.

Distortion and shrinkage are eliminated and Sprinturf's backing alleviates the risk of wear and damage to seams. Sprinturf's backing drains better because we provide tens of thousands of specially heat-perforated drainage holes that assure not only the fastest water evacuation but also guarantee the removal of contaminants (unlike our competitor's system that filters water through the backing). Because of the extra weight, thickness and strength, Sprinturf lays flatter than our competitors' systems. This not only makes installation easier, but it dramatically reduces fraying, thereby simplifying the cutting and gluing of lines.

All of this extends the life of your synthetic turf system.

• Shrinkage and creeping tests

• The strength test

• Testing for stability

Sprinturf’s 100% polyethylene fiber, combined with a patented Stabilon™, sandwich-style, primary backing system and a high-grade polyurethane secondary backing, offers unmatched resistance to shrinkage and creeping as test results indicate.

Testing: To compare Sprinturf’s patented backing with the competitors’ standard polypropylene backing over a wide range of temperatures, measuring any shrinkage.

Conclusion: The lower sensitivity of Sprinturf's patented backing ensures the most consistent playing surface by guaranteeing superior dimensional stability.

CREEPAGE TEST

Testing: Subjecting the patented backings of Sprinturf and an equivalent weight of the competitors' polypropylene-fabric backing to constant tension, then measuring the units of creepage over time.

Conclusion: The material in Sprinturf’s patented backing contributed to noticeably less shrinkage just three months after installation, promising superior dimensional stability and a consistent playing surface in the long run.

Sprinturf’s patented Stabilon™, sandwich-style, primary backing system and high-grade polyurethane secondary backing are the industry’s heaviest and most durable, with outstanding strength, as indicated in the tests below.

Testing: To determine the F-max (units of force required to break the fabric - which should not occur in normal use), Sprinturf and standard backing are stretched by 5% of their original length, warp and weft.

Conclusion: Sprinturf’s patented backing system offers significantly higher strength than competitors' backings in both warp and weft directions.

Sprinturf’s patented Stabilon™, sandwich-style, primary backing system and high-grade polyurethane secondary backing are the industry’s heaviest and most durable, with superior dimensional stability and resistance to shear. Two tests show Sprinturf's high quality and superiority.

Testing: To compare performance of dimensional stability in all directions, the patented Sprinturf backing and a standard backing fabric were tested for elongation, warp and weft, at low force, at an angle of 45 degrees.
