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 />

ThE bENEFITS OF AN<br />

ARTIFICIAL GRASS PITCh<br />

• Does not require fertilizer and contaminates the<br />

ground less<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 />
