Synthetic turf systems with traditional backings tend to absorb and retain heat, especially in the summer months, causing discomfort during play; this also requires additional water resources.
With synthetic turf surfaces featuring UNITE technology, the surface temperature of the pitch is reduced by up to 20% compared to conventional backings.
This result has been verified through comparative tests conducted in the laboratory and under real-world conditions.
The lower temperature translates into a significant improvement in thermal comfort and, when combined with organic infills, can further contribute to reducing the temperature on the pitch, increasing comfort.
