GRANULATED RUBBER 

for synthetic fields

Why is replacing the granulated rubber of the synthetic field important?

To maintain the conservation of artificial grass.

The initial function of granulated rubber is to create a protective layer to absorb the impacts of athletes' footfalls and falls on the lawn.

The rubber also prevents direct contact with the sole of the field, avoiding scrapes and holes in the grass.

The right amount of rubber is also very important, since the rubber granules keep the grass stems in an upright position (as in the illustration) avoiding folding and fiber breakage, in addition to maintaining a high level of field quality.
