Buy Field Hockey Grass Manufacturer & Factory

Football artificial turf typically features a 40mm to 60mm pile height with loose rubber and sand infill. In field hockey, the dimpled 230g ball must travel rapidly across the surface without bouncing unpredictably or suffering drag deceleration. The deep fibers of soccer turf trap the ball, and high rotational cleat traction causes extreme knee torque on sticks and players. Field hockey requires a short (10mm–18mm), dense, non-directional texturized face yarn that ensures a flat, rapid, and uniform roll.

Water-based turf (unfilled) is tufted with the highest stitch densities (65,000–75,600 stitches/m²) using texturized monofilaments. Before play, it is wetted with a micro-layer of water, which virtually eliminates friction, delivers unmatched 360° ball glide, and protects players during sliding tackles. Sand-dressed turf (typically 15mm–18mm) uses dense curled fibers packed partially with fine rounded silica sand. It mimics the glide of water-based turf without the cost and environmental footprint of large irrigation systems, making it the premier choice for schools, universities, and regional clubs.

Suntex leverages parent company RiThai International's five decades of polymer extrusion expertise. As an authorized distributor of TenCate Grass yarns, we use high-purity virgin C6 polyethylene resins compounded with premium hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) and antioxidant masterbatches. Every production lot undergoes xenon-arc and fluorescent QUV artificial weathering simulations in accordance with DIN 53387 and FIH laboratory wear standards.

Yes. FIH regulations require certified field hockey systems to achieve specific Force Reduction (typically 50% to 65%) and Vertical Deformation tolerances. Because field hockey turf is dense and short-pile, the turf carpet alone cannot provide shock absorption. An in-situ poured rubber shock pad (15mm–25mm) or prefabricated closed-cell cross-linked polyolefin pad (10mm–12mm) is an essential structural element to prevent athlete injury and maintain ball rebound uniformity.

We manufacture turf rolls at standard widths of 2.00 meters and 4.00 meters, with custom roll lengths tailored to specific pitch blueprints (usually between 35m and 70m). Production lead times for a complete stadium field (approx. 6,000–6,500 m²) run between 14 to 21 calendar days from technical drawing sign-off. Shipping takes place directly from the Port of Shanghai, providing streamlined containerized ocean routes to European, Middle Eastern, Australian, and American destinations.

Absolutely. We provide comprehensive OEM/ODM contracts for sports flooring brands and regional distributors. This includes customized packaging films with your corporate logo, custom backing brand printing, variable dtex formulations, and pre-tufted 75mm regulation boundary lines (available in signal white, yellow, or blue) to dramatically decrease on-site cutting waste and installation labor costs.
