About this product
Sprinturf’s original slit-film system, pioneered in 1998 and built on a 120-micron parallel long-slit fibrillated fiber made with Exxon metallocene resin. Sprinturf says it has been installed on more than 3,500 fields since 2010 and that its tensile strength averages 40 percent above the industry standard. It comes without thatch or with a texturized polyethylene thatch.
