Vivaturf non-infill turf replaces conventional loose-particle cushioning with a three-part, no-infill shock-management system built around a biomimetic fiber layer, a composite cushioning backing, and an overall structural balance between support and impact attenuation.
At the fiber level, the surface uses a straight-and-curled yarn combination. The curled yarns act as micro-elastic elements that deform under load to absorb part of the impact force, while the straight yarns provide the structural support needed for push-off, acceleration, and controlled movement. The yarn profile is designed with a hollow diamond-like cross-section, which improves energy absorption during deformation while maintaining good resilience and reducing long-term fiber fatigue.
Under the yarn layer, the backing uses a high-density polypropylene base with a closed-cell elastic cushioning layer, creating a second stage of impact control. This layer compresses under load and spreads force more evenly, helping reduce peak pressure on the ankles, knees, and lower back. Because the system uses hot-melt bonding rather than conventional glue-heavy assembly, structural consistency and long-term stability are improved, while odor and unwanted emissions are reduced.
The result is a surface that can absorb load effectively without becoming overly soft. That balance matters in student-athlete training, where the field must protect the body while still allowing efficient sprinting, jumping, and directional movement.
