In the manufacturing of artificial turf, the choice of backing is crucial. It directly affects the turf's lifespan, stability, and environmental safety. Currently, the most commonly used types of backing in the market include the following:

1. SBR Backing (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber)

Composition: Based on styrene-butadiene rubber.
Features: Relatively low cost, widely used in general projects.
Odor: Distinct rubber smell.
Suitable For: Customers with limited budgets or non-premium projects.

✅ We use high-quality SBR backing with a one-time coating process, avoiding the low-quality 'secondary backing' commonly found in certain regional markets. This ensures strong adhesion, environmental safety, and durability.

2. PU-like Backing (SPU / Fake PU)

Composition: Still based on SBR, with partial formula optimization and a PU-like appearance.
Name Confusion: Often misleadingly labeled as SPU or PU-like, and sometimes even marketed as real PU.
Odor: Similar rubber smell as SBR.
Real Difference: Not a true polyurethane system; only imitates PU for cost-saving purposes.

❌ Some suppliers (especially in Hebei) use 'secondary backing' and falsely label it as SPU. This results in poor aging resistance and frequent issues like cracking or delamination.

3. True PU Backing (Polyurethane)

Composition: Resin-based, the most advanced backing material in artificial turf.
Features:
- Light plant resin fragrance
- High flexibility and adhesion
- Does not soften under high temperatures or crack in cold environments
- Superior aging resistance, suitable for projects requiring 8+ years of durability

✅ Our PU-backed turf products use genuine PU resin paired with high-density yarn (12,000–15,000 dtex), making them ideal for high-end markets in Europe and the U.S., or customers with long-term durability demands.

Our Professional Advantages

- We insist on using high-quality raw materials—no inferior substitutes or secondary backing.
- All backing types are clearly labeled and transparently communicated.
- PU series products use true polyurethane resin, ensuring over 8 years of service life.
- We offer side-by-side sample comparisons to help customers distinguish real PU from fakes.
- Understanding budget constraints, we provide practical alternatives and clearly explain the pros and cons to avoid short-term savings that may lead to long-term losses.

Notice:

"Many so-called 'PU backings' on the market are actually imitations still based on SBR. We provide real samples for comparison: authentic PU has a light resin smell and superior adhesion, perfect for projects requiring an 8-year or longer service life. Some suppliers even use 'secondary backings' to fake SPU, which leads to early failure. We always use one-time coating for stability and durability. While the initial cost might differ by a few dollars, the overall lifecycle cost—including installation, labor, and repairs—can be significantly lower with our high-quality products. We prioritize long-term value and reliability for our customers."
