Balancing System Components

All of the components of our POWER SYSTEM were carefully crafted and rigorously designed to provide a game-changing turf system that's more playable than grass, more durable than other systems, and safer than both.

Blended woven fibers allow athletes to cut & pivot with reduced injury. Fibers stand straight, resulting in less rotational resisitance.

Proprietary pah/heavy metal free infill provides exceptional shock absorbtion and protection with heat reduction properties.

Whether our fields are being used for soccer, football, lacrosse, baseball, or rugby, we build EVERY FIELD to meet the rigorous safety standards set by the Synthetic Turf (STC), FIFA, and the International Rugby Board (IRB). All Elite Turf fields are built on top of a protective pad base, which allows the fields to play firm, but test soft similar to natural grass.

Elite Turf Head Injury Criteria

Head Injury Criteria

The HIC (Head Injury Criterion) Impact test is currently one of the most effective ways to measure the probability of head injury occurring from impact with a surface. World Rugby, Synthetic Turf Council and the European Synthetic Turf Council have all set a minimal HIC standard Critical Fall Height (CFH) of 1.3M.

Elite Turf’s POWER SYSTEM fields scored an avg.
CFH of 1.725M!

No carcinogens

A Yale University study on rubber crumb detected 96 different chemicals including ​12 known carcinogens and 20 irritants.

​

ARSENIC / BENZENE / CARBON BLACK /
HEAVY METALS / LEAD / MERCURY

In the US, the majority of turf fields use a rubber crumb infill made from recycled tire.

Rubber crumb can add significant heat to the playing surface.
