EPP foam shock pads for artificial turf sports field underlayment

EPP(Expanded Polypropylene) foam shock pad can be found in football/soccer stadiums, golf course, baseball field, tennis court and other sports field or playground. Laid beneath the green turf fibers are several hundred shock pads which are made from EPP foam beads. Expanded Polypropylene represents a perfect basis for artificial turf. The EPP ground shock pads excel not only in their cushioning effect, they are ultra lightweight as well and can be transported everywhere low-cost and eco-friendly. EPP is a PP specialty foam with very good impact absorption, lightweight and big temperature resistance. It combines high energy absorption, even after several impacts, with excellent resilience and isotropic deformation performance. EPP is 100% recyclable. It is manufactured and processed without any CFCS (Chlorofluorocarbons). The EPP shock pads sub-layer basis can easily be cleaned or disinfected, it does not absorb water and is resistant to oils and chemicals. The EPP ground shock pads can also be assembled like tesseras without problems. In no time, a large basis for artificial turf is arising. The EPP foam shock pads underlay also minimizes the strains on players' muscles and joints. EPP shock pads provide a football pitch installation suitable for both junior and senior sport which could withstand widespread use without the need for extensive ongoing maintenance.
