Explore the Pure PT™ System

Pure PT™ is a non-infill turf system engineered for consistent performance, long-term durability, and responsible material use.

The system is designed around how athletes move and how fields are used in reality, intensively, year-round, and across different sports. Its dense fiber structure creates balanced traction with controlled release, enabling predictable surface interaction in all weather conditions.

By eliminating infill, Pure PT™ reduces material weight, maintenance complexity, and microplastic exposure, while maintaining stable playing characteristics over time. The result is a field system that supports confident movement, continuous availability, and lower lifecycle impact, from installation to end of life.

From Structure to Surface Behavior

The development of Pure PT™ began with analysing how natural grass responds to athletic load. On natural fields, performance is determined by the structural composition beneath the surface, where stability, compliance, and energy transfer are defined.

Pure PT™ translates this functional behaviour into a non-infill system. Through engineered fiber mass and optimized yarn density, the system governs traction and release, surface response, impact absorption, and energy return under repeated load, maintaining predictable surface interaction across sessions and seasons.

Pure PT™ explained

A next-generation infill-free system that delivers elite performance while eliminating microplastic release, reducing material consumption, and cutting maintenance intensity.

Environmental impact

Pure PT™ goes beyond on-field performance. It is engineered to address key environmental challenges by eliminating infill-related microplastic release, lowering transport and maintenance emissions, and simplifying end-of-life recycling. Extended service life and fewer replacement cycles further reduce overall lifecycle impact.

Built for performance, designed for impact

Pure PT™ goes beyond the game. This next-generation turf reduces microplastic release, lowers carbon impact, cuts water use, and streamlines recycling, while delivering elite performance and long-term durability.

No Infill, No Microplastics

Pure PT™ removes the need for infill, eliminating a major source of microplastic pollution on sports fields. Pure PT™ is engineered to meet evolving regulatory environmental requirements while delivering elite playability.

Up to 85% Fewer Transport Movements

With no sand, rubber, or other infill, Pure PT™ is significantly lighter than traditional turf systems. The reduced system weight eases logistics, lowers emissions, and makes installation faster and less labor-intensive, delivering efficiency from day one.

Reduced Maintenance = Reduced Impact

No infill means no weekly top-ups, no decompacting, and far less machine time on the field. Over ten years, that adds up to major fuel savings, reduced equipment wear and a a lower carbon footprint from field maintenance operations.

Longer Lifespan, Fewer Replacements

Pure PT™ fields are built to last up to 30% longer than traditional turf systems. With no infill abrasion and reduced fiber wear, the surface stays consistent over time. Fewer replacements mean less material consumed, less waste generated, and reduced resource use across the full field lifecycle.

Designed for Recycling

With 80% polyethylene and no infill, Pure PT™ has a simplified material composition that facilitates recycling at end of life. For projects requiring maximum material recovery potential, Pure PT™ is also offered in a ONE-DNA™ single-polymer configuration.

Engineered for Use

Designed to support specification, installation, and long-term field operation, Pure PT™ is available in multiple system configurations based on project requirements. This allows the system to be aligned with the intended sport, usage intensity, and user profile while maintaining consistent surface behavior over time.

24/7/365 Use

Pure PT™ is engineered for continuous 24/7/365 use. The system is designed to maintain reliable surface interaction under sustained load, changing weather conditions, and intensive year-round use across different levels of sport and community play.

No infill

Pure PT™ is designed to operate without infill. Removing loose material as a variable in surface behavior reduces maintenance intensity, eliminates infill-related interventions, and supports year-round performance with high field availability.

Strong warranty

Pure PT™ is supported by a 12-year system warranty. Engineered for long-term structural stability under continuous use, the system enables predictable lifecycle planning, fewer replacement cycles, and more controlled total cost of ownership over time.

Feedback from the field

Across sports, climates, and levels of play, users consistently report that Pure PT™ delivers a more natural surface experience than traditional infill systems. Feedback highlights predictable ball behavior, stable footing, and consistent performance, even after intensive and extended use.

Validation at Scale

Pure PT™ was developed and validated by benchmarking surface behavior against professionally maintained natural grass fields through large-scale testing under real athletic loads.

Performance was not assumed. It was measured, analysed, and verified under controlled and real-world conditions.

Development Iterations
Over 56 controlled design iterations were carried out, with systematic testing and evaluation guiding each refinement step.
Grass Benchmarking
Benchmarked against 145 high-level natural grass fields across varying sports contexts and field management conditions.
Athlete Testing
Validated through testing with over 1,100 athletes and 26,000+ measurements representing diverse movement profiles and load conditions.
Biomechanics
Over 26,000 biomechanical measurements assessing traction, rotational release, energy response, and load.
Repeated Load & Wear
Validated under repeated load, changing weather conditions, and progressive wear to evaluate long-term surface behavior.
Independent Verification
Testing and validation conducted with independent laboratories, extending beyond minimum certification requirements.

Tuned to Application

Pure PT™ is not a one-size-fits-all surface. The system can be configured to meet the functional requirements of football, baseball, rugby training, indoor facilities, multi-sport complexes, and community environments, while maintaining a consistent underlying performance logic.

Depending on the sport and applicable regulations, Pure PT™ can be implemented for selected match or training environments where its system characteristics meet the defined performance and safety criteria.

Multi-Sport
Multi-sport fields must accommodate football, field hockey and other activities with distinct movement patterns, ball behaviors, and load profiles on the same surface. Pure PT™ One is dual-sport certified (FIH & FIFA) for these demands, while Pure PT™ Play supports broader multi-use.
Pure PT for Multi-Sport
Indoor
Indoor facilities operate under dense schedules and controlled conditions, where surface consistency is immediately noticeable. When traction or ball response varies, training precision and operational continuity are affected. A stable non-infill system maintains predictable surface behavior under continuous indoor use.

Baseball
Baseball demands repetition, reaction speed, and technical precision. Fielders depend on true ball bounce and predictable footing, while runners rely on controlled acceleration and deceleration. Over a long season, even minor variations in surface behavior can disrupt timing, confidence, and execution, increasing physical load and reducing consistency.
