SmartTurf launches artificial turf treated with Microban

SmartTurf has launched a range of athletic turf products for health and sports clubs, along with athletic arenas. The new product range offers an athletic artificial turf product with built-in antimicrobial protection.

Smart Turf is a longtime partner of Microban International, a provider of antimicrobial and odor control and prevention solutions.

Smart Turf Athletic Turf is made with proprietary, high-performance polyethylene, which offers resiliency while remaining soft to the touch. The Microban antimicrobial technology is manufactured into the turf blades to provide permanent, built-in protection from the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew on the athletic turf.

“After identifying the lack of a similar product on the market in a time when health and sports club owners are looking for ways to instill public confidence around returning to their facilities, we felt strongly about expanding our partnership with Microban to include a built-in solution for this category,” said Duane Jensen, president of Catalina Home, the parent company of Smart Turf.  “The built-in antimicrobial technology is key in that it never washes off, works 24/7, and is active for the entire life of the athletic turf.”

Smart Turf’s Multi-Sport Turf and Xtreme Play Turf with Microban feature antimicrobial protection and odor reduction with a soft feel and high performance for multipurpose, indoor or outdoor use.
