DOMO ® SPORTS GRASS<br />
hISTORy<br />
Europeans encountered the first generation of artificial<br />
grass at the Montreal Olympics in 1976. These artificial<br />
grass surfaces, made of nylon or polyamide fibres with a<br />
high density, were suitable for hockey and tennis, but not<br />
for sports that involved sliding, such as soccer.<br />
In 1983 <strong>Domo</strong> ® Sports Grass develops its first artificial<br />
grass for hockey: a second-generation artificial grass,<br />
with longer, less-dense fibres made of polypropylene; the<br />
sand infill increases stability. This remains a top product<br />
to this day.<br />
The first <strong>Domo</strong> ® soccer pitch made of polyethylene yarn<br />
followed in 1988, and contrasted sharply with older<br />
artificial grasses: it was much softer and resistant against<br />
UV radiation and cold. The first pitch is laid in Siberia.<br />
In 2000 <strong>Domo</strong> ® Sports Grass introduces the third<br />
generation of artificial grass pitches: made of polyethylene,<br />
but now infilled with sand and rubber. The stability and<br />
elasticity improve the playing qualities, and sliding is no<br />
longer a problem. FIFA approves these pitches for training<br />
and competition.<br />
In 2003 <strong>Domo</strong> ® Sports Grass combines the benefits of<br />
monofilament and fibrillated yarns into a unique yarn<br />
combination, and patents this invention. It is used in the<br />
VarioSlide Excellence artificial grass. With this, <strong>Domo</strong> ®<br />
receives its first FIFA* certificate for the pitch at Club<br />
Brugge.<br />
In 2006 <strong>Domo</strong> ® Sports Grass files a second patent for a<br />
new yarn - SPR. This contains two different polymers, and<br />
is propeller-shaped. It offers more resistance to wear and<br />
is more elastic. Through the use of multicoloured yarns, the<br />
grass now also looks more natural. This quality bears the<br />
name VarioSlide Supreme.<br />
The most recent innovation from <strong>Domo</strong> ® Sports Grass<br />
dates from 2009: an unfilled grass football pitch with<br />
a new profiled yarn - <strong>Domo</strong> ® Champion Ascari. This<br />
fourth-generation artificial grass has all the advantages<br />
of its predecessors and scores even higher in the wear<br />
and resilience tests. The absence of rubber infill makes<br />
installation, maintenance and recycling easier.<br />

FIFA QuAlIty ConCept<br />
With the introduction of the third generation of artificial grass pitches, the process of accepting artificial<br />
grass got fully under way within the football world. Under the approving eye of FIFA, soccer’s international<br />
governing body, specific quality standards have been laid down for artificial grass pitches in the International<br />
Artificial Turf Standard (FIFA Quality Concept). As a result, these artificial grass pitches can now also be used<br />
in competitions. Find all you need to know about artificial grass, standardisation and FIFA-certified pitches<br />
on the FIFA website. You can view all the <strong>Domo</strong> ® Sports Grass pitches that have been approved by FIFA by<br />

Club brugge, belgium, <strong>Domo</strong> ® VarioSlide Excellence 2003.<br />
Club Brugge has had a <strong>Domo</strong> ® artificial grass pitch since 2003. This pitch is used intensively, and to date they are extremely<br />
satisfied with it. “We have long been aware of the potential of artificial grass pitches. But this pitch exceeds all our expectations.<br />
We compared the various artificial grass pitches on the market and after thorough research <strong>Domo</strong> ® Sports Grass was the most<br />
attractive option.” Dr. Michel D’Hooghe, Chairman of FIFA’s medical committee.<br />
UCT, South Africa, <strong>Domo</strong> ® VarioSlide Supreme, 2009.<br />
With an eye on the World Cup 2010 in South Africa, the University of Cape Town installed the first football pitch to comply with<br />
FIFA** technical specifications. This pitch gives UCT a perfect playing surface in all weathers with an unlimited number of playing<br />
hours using a shock-absorbing layer, an extensive drainage system and with pitch dimensions for major international games.<br />
The “South African Premier League”, SANTOS, already trains on the pitch, and they are highly enthusiastic about its technical<br />
playing qualities.<br />
billerbeck, Germany, <strong>Domo</strong> ® VarioSlide S PRO, 2009.<br />
VfL Billerbeck chose the latest VarioSlide S PRO product. The club had already seen a number of pitches of the VarioSlide type,<br />
and was highly enthusiastic about this top technical playing product. UEFA Pro-Coach Dieter Tartemann also provided positive<br />
advice about this type of grass mat, with which he has several years’ experience. The Billerbeck pitch was created to satisfy the<br />
strictest FIFA requirements, namely FIFA 2STAR, and could therefore also be used without any problem for international competition.<br />
Thanks to the particularly sophisticated system concept with a hi-tech underlayer, playing properties can be guaranteed<br />
in almost all weathers. For years, Billerbeck has also been the permanent base of operations for various big clubs in Germany,<br />
including FC Gelsenkirchen-Schalke 04. Both youth teams and the first team will therefore definitely get the chance to try out this<br />
very latest development in artificial grass for football.<br />

DoMo ® slIDe Ds - Diamond shape yarn<br />
100% monofilament grass mat with sand and rubber infill<br />
A monofilament is a yarn that is extruded directly in a specific shape, which gives it a certain strength and also elasticity.<br />
These qualities were recognised by official bodies such as UEFA and FIFA as high grade. The standards for FIFA* and<br />
FIFA** were successfully satisfied.<br />
This year, <strong>Domo</strong> ® Sports Grass is also available with a new monofilament football system, <strong>Domo</strong> ® Slide DS. This<br />
product has been specially developed to provide the best in terms of durability and playing properties. Slide DS is<br />
also a top football product at a highly competitive price.<br />
1. superb playing comfort thanks to<br />
the diamond profile<br />
The grass fibres remain nice and straight thanks to the<br />
sand and rubber infill. As a result, the grass mat carries<br />
the ball, as it were, making it easier for players to get their<br />
foot under it. The roll and speed of the ball on natural<br />
grass are equalled, if not bettered. Thanks to the unique<br />
diamond profiling of the yarn, the grass fibre springs<br />
back into place immediately after impact. The dense<br />
structure of this grass mat (>100,000 filaments/m²)<br />
ensures that the rubber is held firmly in place.<br />
2. outstanding durability thanks to<br />
the diamond profile<br />
The diamond profile guarantees outstanding durability.<br />
In the LISPORT set-up, a test set-up for checking wear<br />
resistance, the fibre remains intact after 30,000 cycles.<br />
This equates to 15 years of normal football play.<br />
3. High uV stability thanks to the<br />
diamond profile<br />
<strong>Domo</strong> ® Slide DS is perfectly suited to countries where<br />
the sun shines a lot. Thanks to the massive diamond<br />
profile (thickness 250 µm), this grass mat is extremely<br />
UV-stable.<br />
4. easy to infill thanks to the diamond<br />
profile<br />
<strong>Domo</strong> ® Slide DS is produced with a stiff fibre, which<br />
ensures that sand and rubber are easy to fill.<br />
5. test reports. <strong>Domo</strong> ® slide Ds has<br />
been tested to all major standards:<br />
• FIFA Quality Concept (this quality easily meets the<br />
requirements of FIFA 1- and 2-star tests)<br />
• European standard EN 15330-1<br />
• German standard DIN 18035-7<br />
• French standard NF P90-112<br />

DoMo ® - Heliflex technology<br />
HelIFleX teCHnolGy - buIlt-In resIlIenCe<br />
After many years’ research, in 2009 we succeeded in creating a controllable helix or spiral<br />
shape in a propeller monofilament. This HELIFLEX TECHNOLOGY creates the ultimate grass<br />
mat with unmatched resilience.<br />
The propeller profile guaranteed the necessary resilience. This has now been further improved<br />
by a cleverly built-in spiral technology. When vertical, the spiral yarn is at rest, but as soon<br />
as lateral or downward pressure is exerted the yarn comes under tension, and will want to<br />
spring back upright into its natural resting position as quickly as possible.<br />
By applying this to the entire surface, a pitch is created in which the grass yarns always<br />
spring up nice and straight, thereby guaranteeing the playing properties of ball “ball roll”<br />
and “foot under the ball”.<br />
The helix shape retains the water for longer after a shower, allowing the pitch to cool down<br />
more and guaranteeing a safer, more agreeable game.<br />
This new technology is used in the new quality <strong>Domo</strong> ® Champion S PRO and<br />
<strong>Domo</strong> ® VarioSlide S PRO.<br />

DoMo ® CHAMpIon s pro - Heliflex technology<br />
100% Monofilament grass mat with sand and rubber infill<br />
In addition to the monofilament “Slide” grass mat, <strong>Domo</strong>® has also introduced a top-grade monofilament with a<br />
new yarn combination.<br />
1. A natural appearance thanks to<br />
Heliflex<br />
Artificial grass should always try and approach the appearance<br />
of natural grass as much as possible. The colours<br />
used for Champion S PRO are a perfect match for<br />
the shades of natural grass. The grass fibres remain nice<br />
and straight thanks to the profiling of the yarn, the Heliflex<br />
technology and the sand and rubber infill.<br />
2. outstanding ball roll and “foot<br />
under the ball” thanks to Heliflex<br />
Heliflex technology ensures that the yarn always<br />
springs back up nice and straight after each bounce or<br />
impact. As a result, the grass mat carries the ball, as it<br />
were, making it easier for players to get their foot under<br />
it. The roll and speed of the ball on natural grass are<br />
equalled, if not bettered.<br />
3. outstanding wear resistance thanks<br />
to advanced polymers<br />
Lab wear tests show that thanks to the use of advanced<br />
polymers and special profiling of the monofilament with<br />
a thickness up to 300 µm, this grass mat is extremely<br />
hard-wearing. This unique yarn combination easily passes<br />
the 30,000 cycle LISPORT test, equivalent to around<br />
15 years of normal football play.<br />
4. shorter installation time thanks to<br />
Heliflex<br />
Thanks to the Heliflex technology, the yarn stands perfectly<br />
upright after being rolled out, which means it<br />
does not need brushing before the infill is added. This<br />
operation can therefore be ignored during installation.<br />
This saves a lot of time.<br />

DoMo ® VArIoslIDe s pro -<br />
Heliflex and profiled film<br />
Grass mat with sand and rubber infill<br />
The VarioSlide product line is a revolutionary artificial grass with a very natural appearance that is hard-wearing.<br />
From a technical playing perspective, these are top products. They use the unique “Duo Yarn System” patented by<br />
<strong>Domo</strong> ® . Duo Yarn System stands for a 100% propeller monofilament grass surface to which a second type of yarn<br />
is added, creating extra added value.<br />
The new VarioSlide S PRO generation uses the Heliflex technology reinforced with a hi-tech profiled film. The<br />
fibrillated yarn from the previous VarioSlide generation has been replaced by a hard-wearing ribbed film. This film<br />
ensures a number of unique extra benefits on the pitch.<br />
1. looks just like natural grass<br />
People want artificial grass to look like natural grass. The grass fibres remain nice and straight thanks to the profiling<br />
of the yarn, the Heliflex technology and the sand and rubber infill. Sunlight is reflected just like on natural grass. The<br />
colours used are a perfect match for the shades of natural grass. VarioSlide S PRO looks exactly like natural grass.<br />
2. outstanding playing comfort<br />
guaranteed, outstanding “ball<br />
roll” and “foot under the ball”<br />
Heliflex technology ensures that the yarn always<br />
springs back up nice and straight after each bounce or<br />
impact. As a result, the grass mat carries the ball, as it<br />
were, making it easier for players to get their foot under<br />
it. The roll and speed of the ball on natural grass are<br />
equalled, if not bettered.<br />
3. outstanding wear resistance<br />
thanks to advanced polymers<br />
Lab wear tests show that thanks to the use of advanced<br />
polymers and special profiling of the monofilament with<br />
a thickness up to 300 µm, this grass mat is extremely<br />
hard-wearing. This unique yarn combination easily<br />
passes the 30,000 cycle LISPORT test, equivalent to<br />
around 15 years of normal football play.<br />
4. shorter installation time thanks to<br />
Heliflex<br />
Thanks to the Heliflex technology, the yarn stands<br />
perfectly upright after being rolled out, which means it<br />
does not need brushing before the infill is added. This<br />
operation can therefore be ignored during installation,<br />
thereby saving a lot of time.The monofilm is not yet<br />
split when installed, which allows the pitch to easily be<br />
filled with sand and rubber. The film will later split when<br />
used, thus fulfilling its protective function.

DOMO ® SPORTS GRASS<br />
DoMo ® VArIoslIDe s pro -<br />
Heliflex and profiled film<br />
Grass mat with sand and rubber infill<br />
5. no displaced rubber<br />
The profiled monofilm holds the rubber infill in place,<br />
preventing it from being displaced during play and<br />
keeping the pitch nice and level.<br />
6. Cooler pitch<br />
The tips of the profiled monofilm split when the pitch is<br />
used, forming a perfect protective layer for the rubber<br />
infill. Sunlight does not come into direct contact with the<br />
rubber, thus preventing long-term heating of the grass<br />
mat. The helix shape also ensures that less sunlight hits the<br />
filament, which means the grass mat heats up less. This<br />
helix shape also ensures that the water (after a shower) is<br />
retained for longer, allowing the pitch to cool down more.<br />
This helps prevent burns during intensive use.<br />
7. Maintenance-friendly thanks to<br />
profiled monofilm<br />
A <strong>Domo</strong> ® VarioSlide pitch requires regular brushing.<br />
Topping up with rubber and sweeping are limited by<br />
the profiled monofilm net that holds the rubber infill<br />
in place and keeps it level during brushing, or when<br />
clearing the snow from a pitch.<br />

DOMO ® SPORTS GRASS<br />
DoMo ® CHAMpIon AsCArI XC 32M<br />
unfilled grass mat<br />
the new generation of artificial grass<br />
<strong>Domo</strong> ® Champion Ascari ushers in a new generation of artificial grass fields. Champion Ascari gives the player a<br />
peerlessly natural feeling and makes technically high-quality football possible in all weather conditions. This unfilled<br />
grass football pitch with its new profiled yarn, NATURAL RESILIENCE SYSTEM, exclusively from <strong>Domo</strong> ® , has all the<br />
advantages of previous generations of grass and scores even higher in wear and resilience tests. This top product<br />
consists of two types of yarn, straight grass yarns that are supported in a bed of texturised yarns. The absence of<br />
rubber infill makes installation, maintenance and recycling easier.<br />
1. Colour and shape inspired by<br />
nature<br />
NRS, Natural Resilience System, an exclusively<br />
developed grass yarn, ensures that Champion Ascari<br />
has a very natural look. The profile of the yarn is<br />
inspired by natural blades of grass: a veined structure<br />
with a thicker vein in the middle. The wide range of<br />
shades of green of the fibres gives the Champion Ascari<br />
a peerlessly natural quality.<br />
2. outstanding playing comfort<br />
• Constant ball roll and a ‘natural’ trapping<br />
technique.<br />
Thanks to the Natural Resilience System, the ball<br />
rolls as if on natural grass. The grass yarn stands<br />
up perfectly straight without filling due to its<br />
specific profiling and the close construction of the<br />
grass surface. This allows for a ‘natural’ trapping<br />
technique. The ball is carried by the fibres, allowing<br />
the foot to easily ‘get under the ball’ to make a long<br />
pass or trap a high ball. The grass yarn also springs<br />
back perfectly after each time it is pressed down. In<br />
addition, and in contrast to natural grass, the playing<br />
properties remain constant throughout the year. After<br />
all, on a natural grass pitch the ball rolls less far in<br />
the summer than in the winter, which players do not<br />
always find easy to anticipate.<br />
• Cooler pitch<br />
The absence of rubber infill means the pitch heats up<br />
much less and also does not retain heat. The specific<br />
profiling of the grass yarn also retains moisture better,<br />
allowing the field to cool naturally.<br />
• no displaced rubber<br />
Champion Ascari is non-filled, so displaced rubber<br />
grains are now definitively a thing of the past.<br />
• no rubber odour<br />
Champion Ascari is non-filled, so rubber smells are<br />
no more.<br />
3. outstanding wear resistance<br />
A <strong>Domo</strong> ® Champion Ascari pitch possesses outstanding<br />
wear resistance. The Lisport test has shown that even<br />
after 22,000 cycles, equivalent to 10 years of normal<br />
football play, there is still no splitting of the grass fibres.<br />
This is an outstanding score.<br />
4. Minimal maintenance<br />
Topping up with rubber and sweeping are no longer<br />
necessary. The pitch has to be brushed only once a<br />
week, depending on how often it is used. Maintenance<br />
costs are therefore minimal.<br />
5. ecologically sound<br />
The absence of rubber filling makes this artificial grass<br />
outstandingly environmentally friendly. If the pitch ever<br />
has to be replaced, the costs are limited and it can<br />
easily be recycled.<br />
6. Faster installation<br />
Because no rubber has to be added, installation is<br />
quicker. If time is a crucial factor, this can be very<br />
important to the success of a project.<br />

DOMO ® SPORTS GRASS<br />
CONSTRUCTION<br />
<strong>Domo</strong> ® Sports Grass believes strongly in the importance<br />
of having a high-quality foundation on which to lay the artificial<br />
grass. A good foundation and an appropriate sand<br />
and rubber infill if required result in a high-quality pitch<br />
that requires little maintenance, is safe for players and<br />
can be played on at all times. The foundation consists of<br />
several layers, is porous and frost-resistant. The drainage<br />
pipes in the bottom layer are covered with a draining and<br />
stabilising bed of sand. On top of this is a 40 cm layer of<br />
stones. A shock pad can be installed on top of this which<br />
guarantees the dynamic playing qualities. This layer can<br />
be adapted according to requirements. If no shock pad is<br />
used, it is advisable to install a geotextile layer. This ensures<br />
the pressure on the foundation is evenly distributed<br />
and also protects the artificial grass.<br />

ThE INFILL<br />
The first infill consists of sand, is porous and provides stability.<br />
On top of this is a rubber layer which ensures good<br />
sliding properties and provides elasticity.<br />
