Material Composition | Sports fields requiring durability | Industry: Standard rubber backing (ASTM D4637) ▲ Base: Rubber + synthetic blend (ASTM D6413) ▲ Advanced: Dual-layer UV-resistant mix (ASTM D412) | Enhanced safety and longevity in harsh environments | Advanced version requires specialized installation for dual-layer alignment |
Shock Absorption | Injury-prone sports (e.g., soccer) | Industry: 15mm foam (ASTM F355) ▲ Base: 20mm rubber granules (ASTM F2772) ▲ Advanced: 25mm dual-layer (▲20% better cushioning) | Reduces joint stress and impact injuries | Higher cost for advanced layers; may add weight to installations |
Drainage Efficiency | Rain-prone regions or indoor facilities | Industry: 5mm/h drainage ▲ Base: 10mm/h (ASTM F2009) ▲ Advanced: 15mm/h (▲50% faster than Base) | Prevents water pooling and maintains playability in wet conditions | Advanced drainage requires periodic granule replenishment |
UV Resistance | Outdoor fields exposed to sunlight | Industry: 3000 hours (ASTM G154) ▲ Base: 5000 hours ▲ Advanced: 7000 hours (▲40% over Base) | Maintains color and structural integrity in prolonged UV exposure | Advanced coatings increase upfront material costs |
Pile Height | Professional soccer/football fields | Industry: 35mm ▲ Base: 40mm ▲ Advanced: 50mm (meets FIFA requirements) | Improved ball roll and player comfort for elite sports | Higher pile may wear faster under heavy traffic; requires deeper installation |
Customization | Themed venues or specialized sports | Industry: Limited options ▲ Base: Color/density choices ▲ Advanced: Full customization (thickness, patterns) | Tailored to specific aesthetics or performance needs (e.g., striped fields) | Custom orders may delay project timelines and incur premium pricing |
