THE COMPANY - A HISTORY OF LEADERSHIP

Horse Racing

Grass Manufacturers is Australia's leader in the production of world quality synthetic grass surfaces. The company has a history of innovation and achievement. It is recognised worldwide for its design inventiveness, use of the very best raw materials and unique manufacturing processes - all leading to a grass product of unparalleled quality.

OUR GRASS RACING SYSTEM

Through dedicated laboratory research and extensive field testing, Grassman has produced the all-weather Racing System. This is a unique synthetic surface made from a modular, energy absorbing rubber underlay, covered by a 40mm or 70mm, double locked, tufted, polypropylene turf and infilled with rounded sand and rubber granules.

It is an excellent and demonstrably successful surface for minimising injuries and offers the racing industry a softer, more durable surface

Stringent testing by external organisations and individuals has led to our product being widely acclaimed.

Greyhound Starting Boxes

The German Standard (DIN 18035 Sports Grounds - Synthetic Surfacings) found significant increases in Force Reduction in direct relation to the rubber infill.

The American Standard Test Method (ASTM 355-78) found in their Severity Index of assessing surface safety that the inclusion of rubber led to significant increase in Safe Fall height (cushioning).

Dr. John Dunlop, School of Physics, University of NSW, said in a study that the rubber infill 'improves the shock absorption performance' 'products are at the upper levels or above specified using DIN 18035' and 'surface is similar to ... natural turf.'
