A key priority for FieldTurf is to offer sports men and women the best
possible playing surfaces in any season. With this in mind, our fibre market
experts based at a yarn manufacturing plant in Germany design artificial
turf systems tailored to every level of sport (PPG philosophy – Polymer,
Process, and Geometry).

a HIGH Performance and extremeLY
duraBLE playing surface
Matching the solutions proposed for soccer, FieldTurf has developed top-ofthe-range rugby systems that have become established as a benchmark for
both amateur and professional rugby, particularly in Europe.

Rugby remains a contact sport that places considerable demands on the
pitch. For this reason, our rugby applications have always been designed to
meet the most stringent standards in order to guarantee players the highest
levels of safety and comfort.

With close on 20 pitches now installed in Europe, the Optimum RGF
system is particularly well suited to intensively-used dedicated rugby and
multi-sports pitches.

In order to guarantee this
level of playing performance,
FieldTurf Tarkett SAS
recommends that its turf
should be maintained
in accordance with its
guidelines. Consult your
FieldTurf representative for
more details.
FieldTurf believes that an artificial turf sports surface must be viewed as a system
comprising a number of components: fibre, infill, backing and coating process.
Understanding the specific features of each of these components together with their
interactions fosters the innovation needed to create the most highly performing artificial
turf systems.
1 Combination of Optimum RGF fibres: performance and comfort of play
The Optimum RGF system is composed of a monofilament fibre combined with a second
pre-fibrillated straight yarn. This method of assembling the fibres helps to ensure a
dynamic, firm and dense playing surface. The density of the turf means that the Optimum
RGF system is ideal for dual-use soccer / rugby pitches.
When combined with the monofilament fibre which has excellent resistance and resilience
properties, the structure of the pre-fibrillated straight yarn helps to encapsulate the
infill, guaranteeing optimal playing conditions for intensively used pitches.
2 Various infill options available: safety and performance
 Layered infill mix of silica sand and cryogenic rubber
 Successive layers of sand and ambiant rubber (SBR rubber).
