Schmitz Foam launches new roll foam shock pad

Expanding product portfolio with ProField roll foam shock pads

Schmitz Foam expands its product range with the introduction of ProField, a new line of roll foam shock pads designed to meet the growing demand in the artificial turf market. The addition of ProField provides artificial turf manufacturers and contractors with an innovative solution alongside the existing ProPlay range. ProField offers a high-quality choice for sports fields that must meet the highest standards.


"With ProField added to our portfolio, we now offer roll foam shock pads, giving our customers a broader selection. This enables us to cooperate with project stakeholders and recommend the most suitable shock pad for their specific needs," said Ron Lokhorst, Commercial Manager at Schmitz Foam. "We expect ProField to become a valued option for turf manufacturers and contractors who focus on quality and efficiency."

ProField our new field of expertise

"The artificial turf industry knows us for ProPlay, made from 100% recycled polyethylene foam. ProField, however, is ideal for applications where quick and efficient installation is critical," explains Lokhorst. "With ProField, we significantly reduce installation time, offering an advantage for turf producers and contractors."

Innovation in Product Development
The development of ProField began with a thorough analysis of existing shock pads in the market. "By configuring our own roll foam with a double-sided laminated fleece, we were able to create a product that not only meets the strictest tests for shock absorption and dynamic fatigue but also performs on vertical drainage capacity," explains Marcel Spaan, Application Engineer at Schmitz Foam.

Sustainability and Recycling
ProField is not only technically advanced but also sustainable. Up to 30% of the material is recycled, and at the end of its lifespan, the product can be upcycled at Schmitz Foam, positioning the company uniquely in the market. Lokhorst emphasizes: "We can recycle both ProPlay and ProField at Schmitz Foam, allowing us to manage the entire product lifecycle and contribute to a circular economy."
