PRESTIGE XM
FieldTurf Tarkett
The Prestige XM Concept is the latest development in the Prestige range. Launched in 2005, it features the most advanced monofilament fibre in the industry. This XM fibre is created exclusively for FieldTurf Tarkett. A durable "spine" runs vertically through the center of each fibre, providing unmatched "memory" and resistance to matting. The arched profile of this monofilament fibre is based on similar structures found in nature. Extruded through a "spinnerette" this “true” monofilament fibre delivers unmatched durability, especially resistance to wear.
Long lasting performance
UV inhibitors are added to the polyethylene mix during the manufacturing stage to create a durable UV resistant fibre. Laboratory testing proves that Prestige fibres provide twice the resistance to ultraviolet rays as that of other fibres. This unique fibre is more resistant to foot traffic yet remains silky and non-abrasive.
Colours
Prestige XM Monofilament is available in a duotone "Field Green and "Olive Green" mix giving pitches the closest natural look ever.
Triple Primary Backing System
The triple primary backing consists of two polypropylene layers "sandwiching" a needle punch layer in between. This backing system has allowed the weight of the latex coating to be increased by over 80%. Thus ensuring greater directional and dimensional stability as well as twice the current level of fibre hold or "tuft bind" required by existing regulations.
Following 5,000 test cycles on the Lissport machine, the loss of shock absorbency was only of 1%!
