It has been the hockey surface of choice for numerous Olympic Games from Moscow to Sydney and Beijing, World Cups, Champions Trophies, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games.

- Excellent field presentation and colour
- Optimum ball/surface interaction

- Permanent lines tufted in during manufacture and inlaid, minimising maintenance
- QUALIBACK secondary backing for unsurpassed tuft-lock and longevity of seam adhesion
- QUALIPUR next generation spray technology for full area adhesions
- QUALIPUR adhesive for superior seaming techniques
- Outstanding field roll layout design for every project to minimise seams in known high wear areas
- Rubberised in situ elastic layer for excellent energy return and player comfort
POLIGRAS is an environmentally friendly system using 100% recycled rubber for elastic layers and heavy-metal-free yarns for playing surface. Our international environmental policy is well documented and has provided a benchmark for the industry.
POLIGRAS is available in hockey green for the field of play and contrasting colours for the field runoffs.
International television networks agree that POLIGRAS is the best choice for television, day or night.

Developed from over 25 years of hockey surface technology, STI has further enhanced the new POLIGRAS sand-dressed multi-purpose range, which now also utilizes the "breakthrough-technology" of KDK polyethylene yarn. New polyethylene technology is low burn with "magic-slide", yet still provides excellent foot traction, for sports such as tennis, soccer or lacrosse.
