The installation of the new high-performance artificial grass turf was carried out following the FIGC technical sector’s decision to upgrade one of the CTF football pitches with artificial grass in order to ensure an ideal playable surface in any playing conditions.

The end product is 100% made in Italy and plays an important role in ensuring high performance and wear resistance. “The realisation of the new artificial grass football pitch in Coverciano was a great opportunity to show how an all Italian production chain – from yarn producer to synthetic turf maker – can guarantee efficiency, innovation and product environmental sustainability,” the company explains.

Radigreen MFL PE S-CORE yarn

The new synthetic turf was manufactured with Radigreen MFL PE S-CORE yarn – monofilament yarn made of high-performance polymers, delivering high wear resistance, split resistance and playing field uniformity over time, the company reports.

The turf and the whole system were designed and produced by Sofisport, an Italian company specialising in the manufacture, installation and maintenance of artificial grass fields produced with the most up-to-date technologies.

The artificial grass carpet made with Radigreen MFL PE S-CORE has the look of natural grass, without the high maintenance cost of natural grass, according to the manufacturer. In addition, the two-colour versions are designed to allow manufacturers to successfully reproduce the various green tonalities of natural grass blades, thus making the synthetic turf even more pleasing to the eye.

Production

Radigreen MFL PE S-CORE is soft and pleasant to the touch, but resistant at the same time. It will not cause skin abrasion, yet is said to ensure excellent resilience. Another advantage of the product is that it is said to retain its characteristics over time. Before being placed on the market, the product has to pass rigorous tests of resistance to UV rays, weathering, and wear and tear over long periods of time.

The company’s production unit is based in Gandino (Bergamo, Italy), alongside its research and development department that supports production by ensuring continual innovation and retention of Radigreen’s characteristics and sustainability over time.

With its 75-year history, Tessiture Pietro Radici says it can guarantee competence and reliability in the production of Radigreen artificial grass yarn for synthetic turf.
