The advantage of non-infill turf is that it does not rely on sand or rubber granules to create support, cushioning, or playability. Instead, performance is controlled by the turf structure itself.
Vivaturf uses a system-based design that may include:
- Straight-and-curled yarn matrix
- High-modulus support fibers
- High-resilience curled fibers
- Reinforced multi-layer backing
- Closed-cell PE shockpad
- Low-odor bonding or thermal composite technology
- Precise field installation and acceptance testing
This allows the system to be adjusted for different field functions.
Vivaturf Match Field System: Designed for Uniformity and Ball Control
For match fields, Vivaturf focuses on surface precision and playability consistency.
The upper turf layer uses a controlled straight-and-curled yarn matrix, commonly engineered around a 7:3 ratio. The straight fibers provide stable upright support, while the curled fibers help improve resilience, cushioning, and surface recovery. Through high-precision tufting, yarn distribution can be kept consistent across the field, helping reduce local differences in traction and ball response.
The lower layer can use a customized closed-cell PE shockpad with a closed-cell rate of over 98%, helping maintain uniform cushioning and reduce local soft or hard spots. Since the system is non-infill, there is no sand or rubber migration, which helps avoid surface unevenness caused by infill displacement, compaction, or loss.
Typical match-field performance targets may include:
- Shock absorption variation: ≤2% across tested areas
- Vertical deformation variation: ≤0.5 mm
- Friction coefficient variation: ≤0.05
- Ball rebound ratio: 0.80–0.90
- Ball rebound variation: ≤2%
- Ball roll distance variation: ≤5%
- TVOC emission: ≤0.18 mg/(m³·h)
- Odor grade: ≤2.5
- Surface resistance: 10⁶–10⁹ Ω for anti-static performance
These parameters support stable ball movement, predictable player feedback, and a cleaner environment for indoor or enclosed sports venues.
