Unfilled Artificial Turf: A Revolution in Sports Surfaces for the Global Market

Unfilled Artificial Turf: A Revolution in Sports Surfaces for the Global Market

China's non-filled artificial grass, with the core technology of PVC and PE composite, has gained wide application in football fields, tennis courts and basketball courts due to its advantages such as no need for filling particles, high performance and environmental friendliness and recyclability. In recent years, its export performance has been strong, entering over 120 countries and becoming the preferred solution for upgrading sports facilities worldwide.

In an era where sports infrastructure must balance performance and sustainability, unfilled football field turf has become a disruptive force in the global artificial turf market. Exports have seen significant growth in recent years, with data from 2024 showing a 15.64% increase in the first quarter alone. This growth is driven by strong demand in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia, where our products are favored by professional sports facilities and community centers. Our innovative PVC and PE composite technology meets the stringent requirements of football, tennis, and basketball courts worldwide.


Excellent Engineering: PVC and PE Composite Technology

Our unfilled artificial turf combines the best properties of polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to create exceptional playing surfaces. The blades are made from high-density PE fibers, achieving an optimal balance of softness and durability—critical for athlete safety and long-term performance. These fibers utilize a proprietary breathable structure, eliminating the need for rubber particles or quartz sand infill, while maintaining the ball bounce and player grip of natural grass.

The backing system utilizes reinforced PVC for excellent dimensional stability and tear resistance. This composite structure achieves a grass bond strength 200% greater than traditional infill systems, ensuring the turf can withstand the rigors of professional sports. Labosport testing confirms that key performance indicators, including shock absorption, vertical deformation, and ball roll, meet or exceed FIFA standards, making it suitable for competitive play at all levels.



Sport-Specific Solutions


Football Fields

Our uninfilled football turf meets FIFA Basic standards, as demonstrated by its installation at the French Z5 Football Club. Players report that it “performs the same as natural grass, but with 90% lower maintenance costs.” PE fibers ensure ball rolling stability and predictable bounce, crucial for skill development and competitive play, while the shock-absorbing structure minimizes the risk of injury from tackles and falls.

Tennis Courts

For tennis, this turf features a tighter fiber density and improved pile height to meet ITF standards for ball rebound and slip resistance. The PVC backing ensures superior flatness across the entire field, eliminating uneven bounce that can disrupt play. Installation experience in Southeast Asia has shown that this turf is particularly effective in handling high humidity and temperature fluctuations without performance degradation.

Basketball Court

The basketball court surface incorporates a special textured pattern into the PE fiber to optimize grip, enabling quick lateral movement while maintaining sufficient slip resistance to prevent ankle injuries. The PVC backing system provides the necessary rigidity to support the ball’s stable bounce characteristics throughout the court. These features have made our courts popular in schools and community centers across North America and Europe.



As the global sports industry pursues both performance and environmental friendliness, China’s infill-free artificial turf is reshaping the market through technological innovation. Currently available in over 120 countries, our products are expected to be used in more international venues in the future, driving the upgrading of sports facilities worldwide.
