Stop microbial growth. Enhance quality.

Artificial turf can easily become a fertile ground for microbes due to trapped moisture and the buildup of organic material. On top, weather or environmental influences even support the growth of fungi, algae, and bacteria. With deposits and biofilms that cannot be broken down in artificial turf, the often-resilient microbes can survive and multiply exponentially over a longer period.

Sanitized® your hygiene shield for artificial turf

What's behind smelly, faded, and rotting turf?

Material decomposition

Organic substances are the ideal nutrient for microbes on artificial turf, creating the perfect environment for biofilms to thrive. Favorable weather conditions, such as warm temperatures and moisture, cause the biofilms to develop faster and lead to an extension of material degradation.

Material discoloration

The growth of mold and algae has an aesthetic and structural impact on artificial turf. Mold and algae biofilms, the slimy extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), readily develop with trapped moisture and the accumulation of organic material. When exposed to sunlight or in shaded areas, they form green, black, or white stains that cause discoloration.

Unpleasant odors

Organic materials from people and pets, as well as natural debris, cannot be broken down by artificial turf. This can cause foul, sour, rancid, or worse, rotten-egg odors due to the formation of bacterial biofilms on and under the turf.

How Sanitized® technology keeps microbial damage under control

Sanitized® antimicrobial technology prevents microorganisms from settling and growing on the backing system and the fibers. This prevents degradation of the material, discoloration, and results in an integrated hygiene function, that extends the longevity of the artificial turf.
