The Patterned Shock Pad is a shock-absorbing underlay for artificial turf systems, built on a sealed foundation with a dense, multi-directional drainage structure. The design moves water more efficiently than standard drainage layouts used in older shock pad constructions.
The pad goes through a secondary high-temperature shaping process. This shaping step improves load-bearing capacity, elastic recovery, and compression resistance, and supports more complete VOC volatilization during manufacturing. The surface uses a wavy diamond-shaped friction pattern, which increases grip between the turf backing and the underlay. This helps reduce wrinkling and cracking caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the turf.
The pad is manufactured without added sex hormone carcinogens or heavy metals, in line with safe material handling for sports surfaces used by the public.

The sealed foundation combined with a dense, multi-directional drainage structure moves water through the pad more effectively than standard drainage layouts. The measured vertical seepage rate is 1465 mm/h under EN 12616:2023 (Method A).
Secondary high-temperature shaping improves the pad's load-bearing capacity and its resistance to compression and elasticity loss over repeated use, supporting a longer working life on the field.
The wavy diamond-shaped surface pattern increases friction between the turf backing and the shock pad. This reduces turf wrinkling and cracking caused by thermal expansion and contraction.
Shock absorption is measured at 35.5% (mean) with vertical deformation of 6.9 mm (mean) under CEN/TS 16717:2015, reflecting the pad's cushioning and recovery behavior under load.
Tensile strength is rated at 7.71 kN/m with 42% elongation under EN 12230:2023 (Method 3, rectangular specimen). Anti-bowing and curling performance is rated at 2 mm under EN 17326:2020, supporting a flat, stable surface after installation.
The high-temperature shaping process supports more complete VOC volatilization during production. The finished product does not contain added sex hormone carcinogens or heavy metals.
The Patterned Shock Pad is designed for use beneath artificial turf systems, including:
Vertical seepage rate is measured at 1465 mm/h under EN 12616:2023 (Method A), based on the pad's sealed foundation and multi-directional drainage structure.
Shock absorption is measured at 35.5% (mean) with vertical deformation of 6.9 mm (mean), tested under CEN/TS 16717:2015.
Yes. The wavy diamond-shaped friction surface increases grip between the turf backing and the shock pad, which helps reduce wrinkling and cracking from thermal movement in the turf.
Tensile strength is rated at 7.71 kN/m with 42% elongation, tested under EN 12230:2023 (Method 3, rectangular specimen).
The manufacturing process supports more complete VOC volatilization, and the finished product does not contain added sex hormone carcinogens or heavy metals.
