Our XPE Shock Pad is an advanced underlayment solution engineered for professional athletic facilities and high-end playgrounds. Made from chemically cross-linked polyethylene (XPE) foam, it offers a more stable and durable structure compared to standard foam pads. It provides exceptional G-max control, ensuring consistent safety levels throughout the field's lifespan.
The XPE material is inherently moisture-proof and resistant to rot, mold, and chemicals. Its specialized design includes a sophisticated drainage system with precision-cut grooves that facilitate both vertical and horizontal water flow. This ensures that the playing surface remains firm and dry even under extreme weather conditions, while effectively extending the life of the synthetic turf.

Leisure Surfaces: Multi-purpose courts, rooftop gardens, and premium residential landscaping.
Indoor Facilities: Gymnasiums and indoor multi-sport training zones.
Q: What makes XPE better than standard PE shock pads?
A: XPE is chemically cross-linked, which gives it much better resilience and a longer lifespan. It won't flatten or lose its shock-absorbing properties as quickly as standard PE.
Q: Does XPE expand or contract in extreme weather?
A: XPE has excellent thermal stability with a very low expansion coefficient, meaning it remains flat and stable from -40°C to +70°C.
Q: Can this shock pad be used without infill?
A: While often used in "low-infill" or "non-infill" systems to provide the necessary cushioning, it is most commonly paired with sand or rubber infill for professional football performance.
Q: How does it affect the warranty of my artificial turf?
A: Installing an XPE shock pad usually extends the life of the turf by protecting the backing, often helping to maintain your turf warranty for a longer period.
