High-specification artificial synthetic turfs engineered to international tournament standards with certified polymer integrity.
Strategic transition toward high-density texturized nylon and polypropylene surfaces in golf engineering.
Global golf course operations face stringent environmental legislation. Natural greens require up to 2.5 million liters of potable water annually per hole. OEM synthetic putting greens eliminate water consumption entirely while neutralizing pesticide runoff, making artificial surfaces the default commercial infrastructure for climate-conscious developers.
Facility operators achieve rapid capital amortization. With natural turf maintenance costs surging due to specialized agronomic labor and equipment, synthetic installations offer true multi-year mechanical resilience. Our proprietary polymer matrix delivers up to 12+ years of consistent playability without aeration, mowing, or overseeding overhead.
The global shift from basic slit-film PP to high-resilience, texturized monofilament nylon (PA) and heavy dtex PE blends guarantees authentic rotational friction. As an authorized TenCate yarn distributor since 2002, our engineering eliminates artificial directional grain, replicating genuine bent-grass true roll characteristics.
From vertical extrusion heritage to micro-gauge tufting precision, Suntex delivers uncompromised mechanical consistency.
Backed by RiThai International—extruding specialized nylon monofilament since 1977. This multi-decade polymer lineage gives our putting turf elite tensile stability, thermal shock resistance, and zero synthetic shrinkage under direct solar exposure.
Standard landscape grass creates erratic breaks due to blade lean. Our specialized heat-setting crimping process forms a multi-directional curly canopy, offering completely unbiased 360-degree ball trajectory mimicking professional USGA greens.
Engineered with dual PP woven fabrics reinforced with a stabilizing mesh scrim, finished with SBR latex or 100% recyclable Polyurethane (PU) backing. This structure provides up to >55N tuft lock strength to prevent delamination.
We tailor pile heights (10mm to 18mm) and stitch densities (up to 88,200 stitches/m²) to calibrate green speeds precisely between 9.5 and 12.0 on the Stimpmeter, meeting exact tournament or resort preferences.

Versatile installation architectures engineered to conquer diverse geographic constraints and microclimates.
Modern training facilities require continuous year-round usage. Suntex putting surfaces maintain uniform ball friction under rigorous daily impact. Our systems withstand heavy wedge approaches and reproduce authentic chip-and-run check spin when installed over precision aggregate sub-bases.
Dense urban centers demand lightweight yet robust green installations. Leveraging flexible polyurethane backing options and pairing with rapid-drain shock pads, our turf provides high load distribution, rapid horizontal runoff (>2500 mm/hour), and superior fire retardancy.
In arid climates like the US Sunbelt, Middle East, and Mediterranean regions, maintaining natural putting surfaces is economically unviable. Our UV-stabilized formulations resist extreme thermal degradation up to 5000 hours UV aging (QUV test), retaining deep lush color without fading.
Rigorous international standards compliance backing your project tenders, municipal bids, and enterprise partnerships.
Suntex leads the industry in clean polymer formulation. Every batch undergoes comprehensive third-party testing guaranteeing total absence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), fully adhering to evolving EU REACH protocols and stringent US state EPA guidelines.
Our Kunshan manufacturing plant operates under certified systems in place since 2003: ISO 9001 for strict quality control, ISO 14001 for environmental responsibility, and ISO 45001 for industrial safety across all tufting lines.
Certified flame retardant performance (EN 13501-1 Class Cfl-s1 / Bfl-s1 equivalent on request) combined with complete RoHS compliance: zero lead, cadmium, mercury, or harmful phthalates, ensuring safe use in indoor commercial spaces.
Pioneering the next era of circular sports surfaces through bio-based polymers and smart friction engineering.
Our upcoming generation of OEM putting greens features single-polymer (Pure Polyethylene / Pure Polypropylene) yarn and backing integration. This breakthrough allows 100% closed-loop recycling at end-of-life without labor-intensive backing separation processes.
Solar radiation absorption has historically caused elevated surface temperatures on artificial greens. Our next-generation masterbatch incorporates infrared-reflective pigments, reducing surface temperatures by up to 8°C to 12°C during peak midday heat.
Suntex R&D is formulating bio-attributed monomers derived from non-fossil agricultural feedstocks. This reduces carbon footprint during polymer synthesis by up to 40% while matching the exact friction coefficients and durability of virgin polymers.
Answers to common structural, logistics, and engineering questions asked by project contractors and distributors.
Sand-filled greens (12-15mm PP fibrillated) are ideal for large commercial installations where the client wants to tune the Stimpmeter speed (9.5 to 12.5) by brushing and rolling quartz sand, while supporting realistic ball reception from 50+ yards. Non-infill nylon greens (10-16mm texturized PA) provide consistent instant playability, lower maintenance, and clean indoor/rooftop functionality.
Standard landscaping turf exhibits strong blade grain direction, causing putts to deviate sideways. Suntex applies a high-temperature texturizing and crimping process to our TenCate monofilament yarns, creating an isotropic curly cluster matrix. The ball rolls truly in every direction regardless of approach angle.
We provide full white-label and private-label customization: custom roll dimensions (2m/4m widths, up to 25m lengths), customized yarn dtex, specific gauge configurations (3/16", 5/32", 1/8"), pile heights from 6mm to 75mm, personalized multi-color branding strips, printed backing logos, and customized packaging.
Every product line is supported by authentic third-party testing reports from accredited testing agencies (SGS, Labosport). We provide certificates showing 0% detectable PFAS/fluorine content, heavy-metal extraction compliance under EN 71-3, and flammability compliance according to international building codes.
