After many years’ research, artificial grass producer Domo® has succeeded in creating a controllable helix or spiral shape in a propeller monofilament grass yarn for football pitches. This Heliflex Technology creates the ultimate grass mat with unmatched resilience.
The resilience is due to a cleverly built-in spiral effect. When vertical, the spiral yarn is at rest, but as soon as lateral or downward pressure is exerted, the yarn comes under tension and will want to spring back upright into its natural resting position as quickly as possible. By applying this to the entire surface, a pitch is created in which the grass yarns always spring up nice and straight, thereby perfectly guaranteeing the playing properties of ball “ball roll” and “foot under the ball”.
An extra advantage of this grass mat is that the helix shape retains the water for longer after rain, allowing the pitch to cool down more and guaranteeing a safer, more agreeable game.
This new technology is used in the new quality Domo® Champion S PRO and Domo® VarioSlide S PRO.
THE DOMO® VARIOSLIDE S PRO – COMBINATION OF YARNS WITH A PROFILED MONOFILM
The Domo® VarioSlide S PRO is a beautiful grass mat with a very natural appearance and a combination of yarns. The base is a propeller monofilament grass surface to which a second type of yarn – a profiled monofilm – is added, creating extra added value.
Not only is the monofilm outstandingly resistant to wear, it also has the following additional advantages:
1. The monofilm holds the rubber infill in place, preventing it from being displaced during play and keeping the pitch nice and level.
2. Sunlight does not come into direct contact with the rubber, thus preventing long-term heating of the grass mat. This helix shape also ensures that less light penetrates the filament, meaning the grass mat heats up less.
3. The need to top up and sweep rubber is limited by the profiled monofilm net that holds the rubber infill in place and keeps it level during brushing, or when clearing the snow from a pitch.
TEST CERTIFICATES
The S PRO products are thoroughly tested against the main global standards:
*FIFA Quality Concept
*European standard EN 15330-1
*German standard DIN 18035-7
*Swiss standard ESSM105D
*French standard NFP90-112
