Silverback™ Pure Strength For Athletes

August 26, 2015

Silverback™ is our unique recipe for our specialty Polyurethane backing system. Silverback™ saturates the primary backing of the synthetic turf and effectively locks the grass blades in place. While most polyurethane backings are a simple coating over the primary backing, Silverback™ actually penetrates into the stitch, surrounding every tuft and interlocking the grass blades into the primary backing. This process leaves you with a superior tuft lock well above the industry standard and ideal for any sports application. [embed]https://vimeo.com/135678453[/embed] Read More ›
