Pads for Synthetic Turf

Our Cushdrain® pad is an elastic layer that is paved into place over the laser-graded drainstone foundation of an artificial turf system which increases shock absorption. Cushdrain is made at Hellas Polymers and uses only non-toxic components and no heavy metals. It is a two-in-one system that is made of mega rubber and moisture-cured polyurethane binder that is cured 48 hours before installing the synthetic turf. Hellas allows only factory trained technicians skilled in the turf installation process to execute the placement of the Cushdrain system. It is also resistant to rot, mildew, water, freeze-thaw, and compression set associated with normal athletic field use.

The benefits of installing this product are numerous. Not only does it improve the drainage of the field which reduces downtimes caused by heavy rains, but it also provides planarity that holds its form and position through 3-4 lifecycles of the turf. This also increases the longevity of the turf by absorbing stress and diffusing the point of impact. When it is time for a turf replacement, the process takes minimal time and is more cost effective since there is no need to re-grade the base for evenness. Last and most importantly, Cushdrain adds safety for athletes of all sports by increasing shock absorption and reducing concussions.
