Robust, grippy, safe — Polytan’s artificial turf for optimal support and protection. Developed for intensive physical use, gentle on the skin and elastic: ideal for quick, powerful matches!
The history of modern rugby begins with a legend: in 1823, it is said that student William Webb Ellis, during a football game in the English town of Rugby, picked up the ball and ran with it. In reality, football and rugby share the same roots but later diverged in their evolution. Rugby is particularly popular in the United Kingdom and former British colonies. Synthetic turf rugby fields that meet the requirements of the international rugby union World Rugby have been part our portfolio for many years. Polytan, a quality-conscious synthetic turf manufacturer, develops rugby surfaces with the specific demands of the sport firmly in mind. For the rugged game of rugby,which involves significant physical contact and ground impact, the synthetic turf must begentle on the skin, deliver excellent traction, and provide the elasticity necessaryto protect players from injuries. To ensure optimal energy absorption,synthetic rugby turf always features infill material.
Products
Depending on the sport and desired playing characteristics, artificial turf systems can be equipped with different typesof infill. We offer systems filled with quartz sand; sand and elastic infill granules; or sand and cork/ other natural materials. The infill ensures an authentic playing experience, grip and traction for quick tempo and directional changes, clean ball-rolling behaviour, and high player protection.
We work closely with our partners, always aiming to develop the best possible sports surfaces for our athletes. Our goal is to maximise the quality, innovation, and sustainability of our products. We achieve this through intensive collaboration with associations, clubs, institutions, and, of course, the athletes themselves.
