Rugby

Rugby/American football as a game requires more cushioning surface conditions than football. It is not possible to achieve the required shock absorption using infill alone. Also, infill used in large quantities reduces the stability of the surface. Therefore, it is mandatory to use an electronic layer on the surface beneath the artificial turf. These are the main infill materials for Rugby, SBR, Cork Granules, Coated SBR, EPDM…

Diamond Max fibres are diamond shaped to give maximum strength and resilience.
