UV Resistance

Made with a mixture of polymers which is highly resistant to weathering and UVs, Forgrin®’s maintains its mechanical proprieties and its typical softness and elasticity during the time. Measurements carried out by independent Laboratories prove that even after 3,000 hours of exposure to UV lamps, the pellets performance remains unaltered.


Quality and durability

Thanks to the rounded and regular shape of its pellets, the volume of the Forgrin® infill maintains itself constant in time. An infill made with ground pellets, on the contrary, tends to compact significantly: the ground pellets have an irregular shape and, in time, tend to occupy the existing interstices causing progressive hardening of the surface or even the compaction of large areas of the game field, thus partially or totally compromising its praticability and funcionality.
In addition to a worsening of the biomechanical behaviour, in fact, there can be a deterioration of the drainage capacity with flooding and water stagnation, with obvious consequences on the running costs of the facility.


Regeneration of the field

SO.F.TER. has been operating in the thermoplastic compounds industry for 30 years, and has the necessary know-how and technologies for the reclaiming of infill material at the end of its life cycle. Personalised ways of collection and recycle of the material can be catered for.
