The cool new system for synthetic artificial turf
The latest development of the world renowned Polytan LigaTurf offers an exciting new alternative to reduce the temperatures of synthetic artificial turf systems. Polytan CoolPlus synthetic turf system uses new grass fiber technology and a thermoplastic infill to create a major reduction in temperatures when compared to conventional synthetic artificial turf systems.

Play it cool
For the first time a system solution for this challenging task is available for the football turf and the synthetic turf market in general. The Polytan CoolPlus artificial turf system combines the infrared light reflection LigaTurf CoolPlus filament with a Polytan BionPro Infill, which has the same IR reflecting properties and makes the system therefore even more effective.

The graph shows the significant temperature difference    between a conventional system and the Polytan LigaTurf CoolPlus system.

The infill component –BionPro- plays an important role in the complete system, as in 3rd generation systems the infill is by far the component with the highest bulk weight and therefore absorbs a considerable amount of heat.

Testing procedures

	The trials were executed under a so called Sun Simulation, a testing mode which follows mainly the requirements of an adapted testing procedure (DIN 75220 D-OUT-F) known from the automotive industry.
	Together with an infrared camera it is possible to locate and analyse the temperature in the system in the manner that it occurs in an actual installation.

	Reduction of turf system temperatures of up to 20% within the system with the new LigaTurf CoolPlus filament and BionPro CoolPlus infill.
	Environmental friendly lead free fibre and infill solution
	Saves water as irrigation to cool fields is not needed
	Polytan PE LigaTurf monofilament fiber has excellent playing properties and outstanding abrasion protection

With the LigaTurf CoolPlus fibre and the BionPro CoolPlus infill Polytan offers you a new synthetic artificial turf solution for both your sports fields and landscaping projects.
