Rugby: the demanding, legendary sport

Modern rugby’s story begins with a legend: in 1823 in the English town of Rugby, student William Webb Ellis apparently picked up the ball during a football match and ran down the field with it. Football and rugby share similar origins, but have headed in different directions. Rugby is particularly popular in the UK and former British colonies.

Well damped, abrasion resistant and slip proof: Synthetic turf pitches for rugby

Synthetic turf rugby pitches that fulfill the specifications of World Rugby (the sport’s governing body) have been part of Polytan’s product range for many years now. Rugby pitches have to comply with the specific requirements of the sport (plenty of physical and ground contact): this means that the synthetic turf structure must be skin-friendly, slip proof and elastic, in order to protect players from injury. For optimum shock-absorption values, synthetic rugby turf is always features an infill.

In order to firmly secure and stabilise the filament studs in the synthetic turf throughout its service life, the rear side of a turf carpet is usually coated with latex. A PU coating is even more functional, environmentally friendly and recyclable.
