The roots of
synthetic turfIntroductionTerminology used within the synthetic turf market is often confusing and
products can be difficult to differentiate. TigerTurf aims to break down the
barriers by highlighting the key points to consider when selecting a synthetic turf
surface allowing customers to feel safe in the knowledge that they can use this
information to select the most suitable surface for all their requirements.
Types of yarnTraditionally there are three different types of yarn used in synthetic turf:
Polyethylene (PE): Soft, durable and non-abrasive Polypropylene (PP): Rigid, brittle and more abrasive
Nylon (PA): Hardwearing and abrasive.
However recent innovations in extrusion technologies have enabled us to
develop a new type of yarn, using fully recycled polyester (PET) flakes. 100%
recycled 100% innovative.
Please contact us for more information on PET yarn and TigerTurfs
greener products.
The yarn manufacturing process enables different constructions
of yarn to be extruded:
Monofilament: Individually created filaments twisted or wrapped together.
Monofilaments offer increased durability, resilience and ability to cope with high
usage. The manufacturing process enables the yarn to be formed in different
profiles and thicknesses.
Fibrillated: Manufactured as a tape that is perforated lengthways to
create a strong lattice structure which splits down with use to produce
a multi-fibre appearance.
Texturised: Straight yarn that has been heat-set to produce a tight, curly
appearance which gives a non-directional surface.

Systems and InfillsThere are four main types of synthetic turf systems on the market:
1. Fully synthetic: An all-fibre construction with no added infill. Water is normally
required when used for hockey.
2. Sand filled: A lighter weight surface filled with high levels of sand for stability
and performance.
3. Sand dressed: A dense, heavy surface requiring some sand infill to support the
fibres and add stability. It has more exposed fibre for a greener appearance.
4. Third generation: A system containing a rubber infill for extra performance.
Utilises longer fibres to hold rubber as well as sand.
Infills are divided into two categories:
1. Stabilising infills: Predominantly sand, at varying grades to weigh down the
carpet and give structural integrity.
2. Performance infills: Usually rubber made from recycled sources, ground down
into fine granules to prevent compaction, increase resilience and enhance
playing characteristics.
Pile CharacteristicsPile weight:
This refers to the quantity of yarn within a square metre of product, using the
number of stitches and the gauge of manufacture. Historically, the pile weight
of a product has dictated the quality and price, with the heavier products
demanding a higher price in return for improved performance.

Pile height:
The height of the product gives an indication of its application and format:
Football products have a pile height of between 40-65mm and shockpads are
sometimes required for surfaces with a pile height below 60mm
Rugby surfaces always have a pile height of 65mm and are installed with
a shockpad
Hockey and tennis surfaces tend to be between 10-20mm, offering different
performance characteristics than the longer pile products. Generally
shockpads are used in hockey but not with tennis.
Testing and AccreditationsLaboratory testing:
Different testing standards apply to each application.
Football surfaces can achieve three accreditation awards:
FIFA 1 Star: Designed for community use and has to pass a series of stringent
tests focussing particularly on durability and longevity (similar to the FA standard)
FIFA 2 Star: The highest professional standard, awarded to the best performing
surfaces and stadia.
Rugby surfaces have to adhere to IRB/RFU standards for full contact games
and training activity. Testing measures the Head Impact Criteria (HIC), which has
to be over 1.3m, ensuring player safety for full contact rugby in set pieces and
open play.
Hockey has one awarding body with accreditations split into two levels:
FIH National: The highest standard for surfaces with infill
FIH Global: The highest standard for surfaces without infill.
Tennis testing relates to the ball bounce and speed of the play, to meet the
needs of the player or club:
ITF1 Slow ITF2 Medium Slow
ITF3 Medium
ITF4 Medium Fast
ITF5 Fast.
Multi-use products require a mixture of performance testing depending on the
desired standard and relevant applications.

Good Grass GuideIn a market with so much choice, how do you know which products deliver?
TigerTurf has produced this guide to help differentiate the best from the rest.
Polyethylene (PE) Vs. Polypropylene (PP)
Polyethylene yarns were introduced in the mid 90s as a viable replacement for
traditional polypropylene fibre types. Polyethylene has a different polymer
structure and as such has a softer, smoother texture, which creates a less
abrasive product. Another distinct advantage of polyethylene is that it has a waxy,
almost damp feel which is skin friendly. Polypropylene, on the other hand can be
very dry and brittle, which is more abrasive for the player.
Monofilament Vs. Fibrillated
Fibrillated fibres are manufactured using older technology and have to be
artificially worn to create the correct aesthetics necessary for a synthetic turf
surface. However, the lattice structure does encapsulate the infill, which
significantly reduces the amount of infill movement and migration. The drawback
of this encapsulation is that the infill tends to compact, requiring additional
maintenance. Monofilaments are more durable than fibrillated fibres and due to
the manufacturing process they can be extruded in various shapes and
thickness. Fibrillated surfaces also have a tendency to flatten more easily.
Monofilaments therefore give greater performance and increased durability, as
the fibres are worn on the tip rather than the side.
Texturised Vs. Straight
Yarn structure plays an important role in the performance characteristics of a
product. Texturised yarn is used in hockey and tennis products because it
produces a non-directional surface that is ideal for precise and non-deviating ball
roll and bounce. Straight fibres are used primarily in football and rugbyapplications and tend to be longer and softer than the texturised fibre. Straight
fibres replicate the natural grass on which the sports are usually played. This
provides resistance to the ball during play, which is one of the main criteria for
football surfaces.
Profiled Vs. Flat Monofilament
In recent years there has been a tendency towards more profiled or shaped
monofilament yarns. These yarns have a spine or thicker centre to give vertical
memory, encouraging the yarn to return to its original state after ball or player
impact. The flat or smooth monofilaments require additional maintenance to
guarantee that they return to their original position.

Product RangeOur Select product range incorporates the industrys latestdevelopments. Utilising exclusive yarns and unique processes,these products offer added performance and extended
guarantees. We believe our Select range offers the customer best value.Research has shown that cheaper, poorer quality surfaces need to be liftedand replaced more quickly than well designed, high quality products.TigerTurf surfaces always aim to give greater value for money and greaterreturn on investment.
TigerTurfs product portfolio also includes the Essentials range.
These products all undergo the same rigorous approval process,
though they utilise older technology and have now become
industry standard over many years. Of course, some projects are restricted
financially and TigerTurf Essentials suit a variety of requirements and budgets.
Our entire range is created and designed in house by our industry leading
Research and Development team.
Yarn SelectionThe yarn selection process is vital to ensuring products do not prematurely wear,
break down or underperform. TigerTurfs R&D department conduct stringent
testing on all yarns to guarantee ultimate durability and performance for all
landscape and sport applications.
Dual Locking Vs. Standard Backing Systems
TigerTurfs Dual Locking System binds the filament on either side of the backing
material for maximum tuft retention. There are three major components that
make the system work:

TigerTurfs Ultra-Bond out performs both polyurethane and standard latex
over time.
3. RAM application
The RAM application method opens
the individual fibres of each tuft to
push the Ultra-Bond deep into the
root of the tuft for maximum hold.This binds the individual filaments
rather than just the outer tuft, again
reducing fibre loss and extending the
life and playability of the product.
1. Pro-Tech Xtra
Advances in fabric production have meant that the Pro-Tech fabric used
previously in TigerTurf products can now be incorporated into the primary
backing cloth, thus simplifying the process and creating one stronger backing
product Pro-Tech Xtra. Pro-Tech Xtra has also been upgraded from non-wovenPolypropylene to non-woven Polyester with Nylon (PA). This improves strength,
dimensional and thermal stability, resulting in less post expansion and
contraction and better Ultra-Bond absorption.
2. Ultra-Bond
Ultra-Bond wet compound uses an advanced formula of polymers and is applied
to the backing. This compound is not only unique in the way that it interacts with
the Pro-Tech Xtra fabric, it is less water soluble than other systems,
outperforming other compounds in the market. The tuft lock stays strong overtime and fibres wear in a natural pattern rather than being pulled from the base, a
characteristic that has been seen on other monofilament products in the market.
