⚽ With the football World Cup knockout stages in full swing with a few earlier than expected exits along the way 😢, there’s more than just the matches worth paying attention to… It’s a great moment to reflect on what goes into world-class playing surfaces. #Didyouknow? Several stadiums hosting matches have temporarily replaced their usual artificial turf with natural grass to meet tournament requirements. 🏟️ Yet, behind the scenes, hybrid systems incorporating synthetic technologies are still playing a crucial role in delivering the durability and performance needed at the highest level. 💡 Beyond elite tournaments, high-quality artificial turf and sports pitches remain essential for training and everyday play around the world—and this is where mechanically frothed polyurethane foams make a real difference. Evonik's diverse range of TEGOSTAB® silicone surfactants, together with KOSMOS® and POLYCAT® catalysts, are designed to optimize the production and performance of frothed PU foams to deliver: ✅ Durable, resilient playing surfaces ✅ Consistent performance under heavy use ✅ No VOCs from hazardous chemical blowing agents 🔗 Get in touch with our team to learn more and request a copy of our Froth Foam brochure: https://lnkd.in/eh92ZkHb #WorldCup #ArtificialTurf #SportsTechnology #Polyurethane #SustainableInnovation #TEGOSTAB #KOSMOS #POLYCAT #Evonik
