No one anywhere in the world uses a higher quality sports turf fiber for infill systems than Sprinturf -- because there is none! We couldn't spend more money on our fiber if we wanted to. We use only the best fiber, and more of it, because it's so important to our patented Sprinturf all-rubber infill turf system We've chosen the Ultrablade™ fiber for our turf, because it is stronger, softer, and more natural than any other fibers. They not only closely mimic all the characteristics of the real thing, but they hold up much better as you can see from the testing below. Pay particular attention to the UV testing. Ultraviolet rays are a major cause of failed systems. Sprinturf uses only the highest quality fibers. One of our products is a 100% polyethylene PE 8,800 - 11,000 DTEX fiber with stabilizers to resist ultraviolet (UV) rays that can make other fibers brittle and lose strength after exposure. EXPOSURE IN THE WEATHER-O-METER Testing: Sprinturf subjected its PE fiber to extended exposure in the Weather-O-Meter (WOM), a machine that can simulate outdoor conditions of sunlight and rain. The tensile strength of the fibers was measured every 1,000 hours; the normal reduction in strength among competitors' fiber is 50 percent after 4,000 hours.
Conclusion: Sprinturf’s fiber has outstanding resistance to UV
degradation and will retain its superior playing characteristics for years
longer than other synthetic turf fibers. Sprinturf uses only the highest quality fibers. One of our products is a 100% polyethylene PE 8,800 - 11,000 DTEX fiber with unsurpassed durability, as the Lisson test confirms. The Lisson test is a visual evaluation used by the carpet industry to determine wear in tufted materials. Testing: After 500 walks of a mechanic foot over the sample, the change is evaluated and valued with a number between 1 and 5, where 1 is the worst and 5 is the best possible event. Under change of structure, post-fibrillation, twisting and flattening of the grass yarns is considered.
Conclusion: Manufactured tough, Sprinturf’s fiber holds form and offers superior consistency.
Sprinturf uses only the highest quality fibers. One of our products is a 100% polyethylene PE 8,800 - 11,000 DTEX fiber with ultra low abrasion properties. TABOR ABRASION TEST Testing: Comparing the abrasive indexes of Sprinturf's fiber and a competitor's fiber with a Tabor Abraser - a machine considered the industry standard and endorsed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) - in applications for soccer, tennis and field hockey.
Conclusion: On average, the abrasion of Sprinturf’s fiber is 25-35% less than Bonar, which results in a longer lifetime for the turf.
