AstroTurf Brand Brochure 2026

About Astroturf

AstroTurf — It’s one of the most iconic brands in sports.

AstroTurf borrows its name from the Houston Astrodome, which was first used in a professional sports venue over 60 years ago. The space race was in full swing. It was a time of palpable optimism. A certain belief that man could conquer the constraints of nature with ingenuity and forward-thinking progress pervaded. The Astrodome was built during this feverish pursuit of the impossible. It was the first domed stadium and a marvel of sports architecture.

While everyone recognizes the name, not everyone knows the history!

There was a major problem, though. The clear Lucite panels that comprised the dome created a glare. Astros outfielders and their opponents were blinded as they attempted — and failed — to catch pop-ups. The initial solution was to paint the ceiling to cut the glare. It worked, but another problem arose. Deprived of adequate sunlight, the grass died!

Meanwhile, Monsanto had just invented a brand-new product called “ChemGrass”. During the Korean War, the U.S. Army had found urban recruits to be less physically fit than rural recruits. Attributing this to lack of green space in cities, the Ford Foundation funded research for Monsanto to create a synthetic grass replica. The Astrodome brought Monsanto in to install ChemGrass. It was a great success, and Monsanto capitalized on the popularity of its high-profile installation to rebrand their grass replica. Thus the “AstroTurf” brand was born.

Over 60 years since AstroTurf was first installed in Houston, technology has rapidly improved. AstroTurf® has continued to drive innovation within the industry and these days, AstroTurf® products come ever closer to replicating the feel, performance, and safety of the gold standard — natural grass.

AstroTurf continues to build on its golden past as part of Sport Group!

Research & Development

RESULTS-ORIENTED RESEARCH

The unceasing focus on AstroTurf and Sport Group companies to push the industry to the next level has created numerous advances. Our clients now benefit from innovations found nowhere else, including:

ROOTZONE: RootZone, a texturized layer of fibers that draws down to encapsulate infill, results in minimal rubber splash, better shock absorbency, and less infill migration than basic systems. The RootZone improves safety, playability, and durability, making 3D systems the top choice for athletes and field owners. Importantly, independently funded research by Michigan State University has shown that RootZone reduces torque transmitted to lower extremities.

PREFAB: AstroTurf is the only company that provides prefabricated inlaying for football lines. With PreFab, we have trained installers inlay your field upside down from the back of the turf

(for more precision) using a jig system installed in the floor of our climatecontrolled inlaying facility. Your field is delivered with about 90% of the hundreds of required inlays already assembled. This dramatically reduces callbacks, speeds up installation time, and allows our onsite installers to pay even closer attention to the finishing touches.

TRIONIC™: Fiber AstroTurf now offers the TRIONIC Plus fiber. This patentpending development is a feat of chemical engineering never achieved in the history of our industry. TRIONIC Plus combines player-friendly PE with ultra-durable nylon to deliver the ultimate fiber.

ENTANGLEMENT TECHNOLOGY: To prevent splitting of the fiber, we cross and entangle molecular sidechains to reinforce any weak spots that would form between the main molecular chains that run the length of the fiber.

AstroTurf has never rested on its laurels. A quest to bring our systems closer to the playability of natural grass drives us to place extensive reliance upon innovation and research. Today’s cutting edge is tomorrow’s dull blade, so there is no rest for our diligent engineers.

INDEPENDENT TESTING & GLOBAL STANDARDS

AstroTurf systems are validated through globally recognized, governing body approved independent laboratories, with extensive testing that goes far beyond the factory floor. From product development and pre-shipment evaluation to on-field performance verification, every component is measured against the highest standards for safety, durability, and playability. The result is a surface trusted at every level of sport, engineered for consistent performance and built with athlete confidence in mind.

UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE CENTER FOR ATHLETIC FIELD SAFETY

This multi-million dollar investment by AstroTurf is a testament to the company’s commitment to the industry and its clients. By building a state-of-theart, multi-acre testing facility on the campus of the University of Tennessee and funding research to measure the performance and safety of synthetic and natural turf, AstroTurf has contributed more to the body of knowledge surrounding athletic fields than any other company in our industry. Outcomes and collaboration with the UT Center for Athletic Turf Research inform our product design.

Quality Control Built on Decades of Performance

AstroTurf has spent decades setting the standard for synthetic turf performance, and that legacy is built into how our products are made today. In 2017, we opened a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility designed to support consistent quality, control, and innovation. Spanning nearly 400,000 square feet under one roof, the facility brings together every major stage of production, allowing us to oversee the process from start to finish.

Our manufacturing approach reflects the same high standards that have defined AstroTurf from the beginning, delivering reliable, high-quality systems trusted at every level of play.

Quality Control

WE CONTROL OUR OWN DESTINY

The unique demands of the synthetic turf industry require that we know exactly how our products will perform, especially with respect to fiber integrity. Our fields are often outdoors for a decade or longer, sustaining constant abuse, yet the safety and investment of our clients depend upon our products holding up.

ITS ALL ABOUT QUALITY CONTROL

Quality control is of paramount importance. We implement strict protocols that ensure that each field is tested during the manufacturing process to ensure it is being manufactured correctly. And – crucially important –we control the masterbatch formulation of our fibers. To our knowledge, no other turf manufacturer takes back the chain of control to this critical step. The masterbatch is like the DNA of the fibers. The “special sauce” contains the UV stabilizers, color, heat resistance and other critical factors that influence the performance of the fibers. Sport Group’s masterbatch formulations were developed in Germany by some of the world’s foremost polymer chemists, who are directly employed by the Sport Group. The masterbatch formulation is consistent across the globe for all Sport Group turf fibers.

AstroTurf has the widest array of tested, vetted fibers, infills and pads!

The surface you install is a combination of turf carpet (composed of grass-like fibers), infill, and sometimes a shock-absorbing pad. These elements combine to comprise the turf system; no single element should be looked at in a vacuum. These elements each contribute an integral effect to the overall system performance.

AstroTurf has the widest array of tested, vetted fibers infills, and pads. Our experienced sales staff is available to help you evaluate the best fit for your uses and budget.

Fiber is the most important element of the system. AstroTurf’s fibers are engineered to withstand the years of abuse a typical field endures throughout its life. When the fiber is gone, the field must be replaced. That is why we advocate a “More Fiber, Less Fill” approach. We provide more advanced fiber in the system to improve the performance over time. A dense carpet structure has important implications for player safety, too.

All our systems use masterbatch formulations created in-house for the strongest fibers on the market.

The RootZone 3D Series is AstroTurf’s most popular product line!

Finally, molecular fusion of nylon and polyethylene.

Throughout the history of the synthetic turf industry, the great quest of manufacturers has been to blend polyethylene (PE) and nylon (PA) into a single fiber. From its earliest inception until the 1990s, nylon was used nearly across the board for its superior resilience and strength. The downside of all-nylon texturized fibers was well-known — it was abrasive. In the 1990s, PE came into vogue and became the industry standard for tall pile face fibers. These PE fibers were much less abrasive but came at a cost. These PE fields sacrificed the strength that previous generations of turf fields offered.

AstroTurf now offers the TRIONIC Plus fiber. This patent-pending development is a feat of chemical engineering never achieved in the history of our industry. TRIONIC Plus combines player-friendly PE with ultra-durable nylon to deliver the ultimate fiber.

What makes Trionic Plus so Different?

While some core systems may use two polyethylene compounds as a cost-saving shortcut, Trionic Plus fibers are a totally different technology. To produce Trionic Plus, polyethylene and nylon molecules are fused into a copolymer and then extruded as a single fiber. This patent-pending process chemically blends polyethylene with nylon using sophisticated compatibilizers, providing softness and durability.

Today’s premier baseball and softball surface, Diamond Series handles ball bounce exactly like a natural grass field in every area of performance - outfield, infield, and base paths. And this can be custom-tailored to any coach or facility specifications for speed or bounce. Diamond Series fields play and look so natural, yet provide the easy maintenance and exceptional durability we have become famous for over the past 60 years. Outfield, infield, base paths, pitcher’s mound, batters’ boxes, and warning tracks are each surfaced with unique AstroTurf products designed specifically to replicate natural field playability.

This natural playability and customization have led to the Diamond Series’ success in the baseball and softball markets. AstroTurf has developed three Diamond Series systems to provide baseball and softball clients more control over their home field.

PROFESSIONAL

The OPS system is designed to play like Bermuda grass and natural clay. It includes unique products to cover each area of the baseball and softball field to replicate natural playability.

COLLEGIATE

The RBI system is designed to play like Kentucky Bluegrass and natural clay. It includes unique products covering each baseball and softball field area to replicate natural playability.

VARSITY

The HR System is designed as more of a multi-purpose product, especially suited for use when other field sports are to be played in the outfield. While lacking some of the distinctive features of the OPS and RBI systems, it is still a very good baseball system that has been used at some of the highest levels of baseball and softball.

AstroTurf has more Diamond Series fields installed in NCAA D1 Baseball than any other turf company in the industry.

lacrosse

As the fastest growing sport in North America, Lacrosse is making its mark!

Lacrosse even has turf needs specific to the sport. Even, predictable footing and extreme durability (especially in the creases) are crucial. Lacrosse players move at a breakneck speed, and the turf cannot slow them down. Infill spray should be minimized to provide true and predictable bounce passes and shots. AstroTurf’s focus on “more fiber, less fill” is ideal for lacrosse. The RootZone 3D product line reduces lower extremity torque, creates even predictable footing, reduces infill spray and enhances durability. That is a winning combination for Lacrosse players and field owners alike.

Since its inception, AstroTurf has dominated the niche conversion market within the synthetic turf industry.

MAGIC CARPET SYSTEM

AstroTurf introduced the world to synthetic sports turf in the 1960s, thereby changing athletic competition forever. It went on to invent conversion systems (Magic Carpet, AstroHopper, and AstroLift) that have fundamentally altered stadium operations, affording arenas previously unknown flexibility and revenue opportunities. In fact, AstroTurf conversion systems have been in use since the installation of AstroTurf at the Houston AstroDome in 1966. This system was the forerunner of the AstroHopper type system.

AstroTurf installed convertible systems at all high-profile venues through the 70s, 80s and 90s. The advent of third- generation (tallpile, rubber-filled) systems in the late 1990s accelerated the turf industry. The softer feel of the polyethylene blades and cushioned support of the infill were favored by athletes. However, these systems posed a unique challenge to stadiums wishing to host multiple events and sports. Problems arose with containing the infill, and the machinery did not have sufficient power to lift the turf containing the 20,000 recycled tires used in the new systems.

Living up to its historical commitment to these facilities, AstroTurf rose to the challenge. In 2008, we designed and installed a Magic Carpet system for the University of Northern Michigan that could roll up tall pile turf without infill. In 2010, the current Magic Carpet II (MCII) system was installed at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri. The product is the latest and greatest in turf technology — a 3D product with rubber infill.

The AstroHopper system was simultaneously improved upon, and it too was redesigned to handle heavy, infilled turf. This system was selected as the conversion system of choice for the Rogers Centre and the Toronto Blue Jays in 2010 and again in 2015.

CONVERSION SYSTEMS

AstroTurf MULTIFIELD PROJECTS

The sports tourism industry is booming. More and more multifield complexes open every year. These facilities are designed to be meccas for traveling teams. They aim to provide guests with everything they need for successful tournaments – hotels, shopping,and high-quality athletic surfaces.

Building these facilities and hosting community events, travel teams, and tournaments demands a lot. The level of investment – whether private dollars, public dollars or a blend – requires that every step of the process from concept to completion is executed efficiently. The solvency of the facility and the economic impact on the community depend upon thorough attention to every detail. Synthetic turf is practically a requirement for the long-term success of multifield complexes.

Maintenance of the natural grass surfaces at complexes with large footprints quickly becomes unfeasible, at least at a level that justifies the rental fees that keep these facilities in business. Just as sports tourism facilities provide a one-stop destination for teams and families.

AstroTurf serves as an indispensable partner in the process, standing side by side during the entire process.

AstroTurf is with you every step of the way.
