Beyond durability, American football fields also need to support player health and environmentally responsible operation. Vivaturf’s non-infill approach offers several advantages here.
6.1 No loose infill
By eliminating quartz sand and rubber granules, the system avoids:
- infill migration
- uneven infill settlement
- particulate spread beyond the field
- additional cleanup and replenishment cycles
6.2 Controlled emissions and material safety
Based on the values you provided:
- Heavy metal content: ≤80 mg/kg
- lead ≤40 mg/kg
- cadmium ≤8 mg/kg
- Formaldehyde: ≤0.08 mg/L
- VOC release: ≤0.4 mg/m³ (24h)
These figures support low-emission positioning for use in schools, clubs, and training environments.
6.3 Lower water and chemical dependence
During use, a non-infill synthetic surface avoids:
- irrigation
- fertilization
- pesticide application
This supports lower resource consumption and simplifies operating procedures compared with natural grass systems.
