DOMO® SPORTS GRASS IS BRINGING A TOTALLY RENOVATED FOOTBALL COLLECTION ONTO THE MARKET

2009-10-26 THE S PRO GENERATION WITH HELIFLEX TECHNOLOGY

After many years’ research, we succeeded at Domo® in creating a controllable helix or spiral shape in a propeller monofilament. 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 guaranteeing the playing properties of ball “ball roll” and “foot under the ball”.

The helix shape retains the water for longer after a shower, 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 PROis 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 is added, creating extra added value. The Heliflex technology guarantees the fibre’s outstanding resilience, which results in excellent playing properties. The combination of the 100% with the profiled monofilm leads to a number of new qualities for the pitch, which is not made of a typical monofilament.

Not only is the monofilm outstandingly resistant to wear, it also has the following additional advantages: the monofilm holds the rubber infill in place preventing it from being displaced during play and keeping the pitch nice and level. 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 the water (after a rain shower) is retained for longer, allowing the pitch to cool down more. This helps prevent burns during intensive use. Topping up with rubber and sweeping are 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.
