Our Laboratory
Welcome to the Sporturf™ Research, Development and Quality Control Laboratory – The “Lab”
Our laboratory studies how synthetic turf performs for both owners and athletes. The ultimate goal of our research is to contribute to an understanding of how synthetic turf performs, interacts and looks over time giving us a better understanding through research. In terms of the interactions between athletes and surface, outside environmental elements we are looking for ways to continuously improve products. We have been doing this for over 25 years.
With state of the art equipment and a constant investment in new technology our lab searched for ways to improve at all levels. Our lab has the capabilities to test Standards: ASTM, DIN, EN, FIFA, FIH
Testing on synthetic turf systems may be performed on-site or in the laboratory. Each standard or specifying body has its own set of requirements however, some more common tests include tuft bind, grab tear, weight testing, wear testing, force reduction, vertical deformation, vertical ball rebound, rotational resistance, pile height and infill depth measurements, porosity, fiber weight and density, Gmax, and ball roll distance.
Our team is dedicated to analyzing and ensuring top quality products are always produced and delivered to owners across the world. We are always seeking continuous improvement.
