Artificial turf has long played a supporting role in the evolution of modern sports. However, a new chapter is being written with Vivaturf’s revolutionary infill-free artificial turf—setting a new benchmark for performance, sustainability, and design. This technological leap forward transforms turf from a passive surface to an active infrastructure component engineered for safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
1. Material Innovation: Redefining Safety at the Molecular Level
Vivaturf’s infill-free turf is built on a foundation of high-spec materials. The turf fibers are crafted from a medical-grade blend of PA (nylon) and PE/PP polymers, certified safe even for infant skin through FDA food-contact standards. A thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) backing enables closed-loop recycling, minimizing environmental impact—reducing solid waste by 17 tons per standard pitch. Furthermore, a nano titanium dioxide UV coating boosts resistance beyond 5,000 hours of sun exposure and maintains 98% elongation at -30°C.
Performance Metrics (Compared to Traditional Turf):
Turf density: +106%
Wear resistance: +132%
Drainage rate: +89%
Particle adhesion: -95%

2. Structural Breakthrough: From Single Fibers to Integrated Protection Systems
Vivaturf integrates a three-layer design:
Top layer: A 70/30 mix of straight and curly fibers for support and bounce.
Mid layer: A basalt fiber mesh with tensile strength exceeding 4800 MPa.
Bottom layer: A honeycomb TPE shock pad absorbing 62% of impacts and draining 120L/min·m².
This system reduces Head Injury Criteria (HIC) from 852 to 209 in a 1.5-meter fall test.
Athletic Performance Enhancements:
Ball roll deviation under 5% (FIFA Pro standard)
Rotational resistance uniformity within ±8% (better than natural turf)
37% reduction in knee impact force
82% fewer slipping incidents during rain
3. Operational Efficiency: Eliminating Long-Term Maintenance Costs
Vivaturf replaces recurring maintenance costs with a lifecycle efficiency model.
10-Year Cost Comparison (in RMB):
Construction: -34.5%
Annual maintenance: -100%
Infill replenishment: -100%
Refurbishment cycle: +66%
Total cost savings: 79.6%
Case Study: At Zhuhai Soccer Base, annual maintenance dropped from ¥540,000 to ¥30,000, with water drainage completed in 18 minutes post-rain and a 90% reduction in canceled training sessions.
4. Modular Mobility: Unlocking Multi-Use and Relocation Potential
Vivaturf’s pre-fabricated modular turf system installs 60% faster and supports seamless panel connections with 48N/cm peel strength—resilient enough for off-road vehicle tests.
Full-court relocation within 48 hours
National Olympic Center deploys it for multi-sport transitions
Rooftop commercial fields now rotate by quarter, tripling space efficiency
5. Durability Evolution: Setting New Longevity Standards
High-density weaving (21,600 tufts/m²) cuts wear by 42%, and reinforced curly fiber bases improve pull resistance by 65%.
Performance Decay Rates:
3 years: 8% vs. 22% (traditional)
6 years: 18% vs. 47%
12 years: 11% (functional) vs. failure

6. Global Recognition: From Industry Innovation to Global Standard
Vivaturf is the first globally certified FIFA Innovation Programme member. Its turf is used in elite installations such as:
Bayern Munich Training Base (Germany)
Hangzhou Asian Games Baseball/Softball Center (China)
Melbourne Park Modular Soccer Field (Australia)
In 2025, PLA-based biodegradable turf fibers will enter mass production, offering 80% natural degradation within 3 years.
Conclusion: The Ultimate Evolution of Artificial Turf
Vivaturf’s infill-free turf isn’t just a product upgrade—it represents a redefinition of the relationship between infrastructure and ecology. Through cutting-edge material science, structural integration, and lifecycle economics, it eradicates reliance on infill while delivering unprecedented performance. With 12-year reliability, nearly 80% cost savings, and 100% environmental compatibility, this system lays the groundwork for the smart, sustainable cities of tomorrow.
