POLIGRAS was the product selected for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games after extensive technical examination and resulted in a hugely successful Games.
Since first being developed for the European hockey market in the early 1970s, POLIGRAS has been continually developed as a truly international surface. It has been the hockey surface of choice for numerous Olympic Games from Moscow to Sydney, World Cups, Champions Trophies and Asian Games.
POLIGRAS was the choice of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, known as "The Greatest Games Ever".
POLIGRAS 2000 LSR, and POLIGRAS XL perform to Olympic standards with the added benefits of:
- Polyethylene yarn for:
- Improved durability
- Best possible UV stability
- Less water required to achive playability
- Excellent field presentation and colour
- Optimum ball/surface interaction
- More "player friendly"
- Permanent lines tufted in during manufacture and inlaid, minimising maintenance
- QUALIBACK secondary backing for unsurpassed tuft-lock and longevity of seam adhesion - the mark ofa quality installation
- Superior adhesive and upgraded seaming techniques
- Specific 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 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 meadow and stadium 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.

Poligras ECO PlusPoligras ECO Plus means an ECOlogically friendly and ECOnomically water saving system. 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.
