EcoGreen66 - Technical Specification

 

TargaPro Sport Surfaces EcoGreen66™ is a dimensionally stable ‘Replicated Grass’ consisting of a multi-layer, 100% woven - 2 layer - primary backing, with a unitary polyolefin hot-melt secondary backing laminating a stabilizing tertiary backing which is heat activated to permanently lock fiber tufts in place.

 

EcoGreen66™ is tufted with a 100% polyethylene, mono-filament (NO-FIBRILLATIION) yarn. The yarn is 230 micron with a 1/4" gauge (stitch separation) and a maximum filament height of 1.5”.

 

EcoGreen66™ is in-filled with ‘sandless’ resilient granules of Organite (an anti-microbial infill of proprietary bulk-density and sizing). The system is enhanced with a dynamic drainage and shock attenuation blanket (D-layer), EcoFlo™, to maximize G-max performance and to provide full area vertical-to-horizontal drainage while minimizing risks associated with aggregate base materials and sub-surface soils. This is accomplished without changing ball-action or the natural feel ­under-foot.
