Our primary backing

The primary backing of a synthetic turf carpet provides strength, dimensional stability and tuft-lock within the system. The choice for the right backing in an application is all about balancing the needs of the surface and its users. Primary backing used for a heavy-used American Football field, has to absorb complete different forces than a primary backing that is used for a carpet that ends up in a landscape project.

Plain backing

TenCate plain backings are a range of stable and tension free outdoor backings, which are a low-entry solution for recreational and landscape applications.
The plain backings are UV-stabilised and are available in different widths and weights.

Fleeced backing

TenCate fleeced backings are a range of fleeced outdoor backings. The addition of a needled fleece to a plain backing has several advantages for processing during tufting and coating, and when used in a synthetic turf system.

Warp knitted backing

TenCate warp knitted backings fulfil an essential stabilising function for synthetic turf systems, applicable for a number of outdoor sports. They are lighter and stronger than classic needle-punched backings and provide a great tuft-lock. The unique construction of these backings provides excellent adhesion between the various layers and have lower latex or polyurethane absorption without compromising strength and stability.

Multilayer backing

TenCate multilayer backings are a range of double woven and fleeced backing products. They deliver good stabilisation for synthetic turf and provide excellent tuft-lock for a surface.
Multilayer backings can be used for a variety of sports and landscape applications.

TenCate backing solutions

The primary backing not only plays an important role after the synthetic turf is installed. The use of a high-quality primary backing at the production and installation stages of synthetic turf also provides many distinct qualitative advantages. TenCate Backing solutions are easy to use, prevent creasing or tension differences in tufted or woven artificial grass carpets and guarantee optimum control through the manufacturing process.
For optimum stitching of the synthetic turf fibres with minimum distortion and for a simple installation of your synthetic turf, we recommend using TenCate synthetic turf fibres in combination with TenCate backing.
