UltraBlade
The workhorse single-fiber slit-film system. Sprinturf's parallel, long-slit fibrillated fiber is the construction found on most American fields more than ten years old. Over 250 UltraBlade fields installed since 2006. Routinely passes 100,000+ cycles on Lisport accelerated testing.
UltraBlade is the parallel long-slit fibrillated canopy. One fiber, one extrusion line, one tufting run. The economics fit a multi-sport NFHS district and the canopy is the same yarn we ship to programs paying twice the carry.

One fiber. Two decades of field history.
UltraBlade is a single-fiber system on purpose. The parallel long-slit fibrillated profile is what most American multi-sport fields ran for the last twenty years because it carries cleat traffic from football to lacrosse to soccer without specializing for any one of them. If your field has to do everything, this is the fiber that has done everything.
UltraBlade slit-film
Parallel, long-slit fibrillated polyethylene yarn. The slits open under cleat impact and close back up between snaps. The result is a dense canopy that holds infill, recovers between plays, and survives 100,000-plus Lisport cycles before the carpet shows meaningful wear.
Where UltraBlade is on the ground today.

What sports is UltraBlade built for?
UltraBlade is the Sprinturf workhorse for multi-use NFHS programs. It performs across football, soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, and band practice on the same footprint. Most American multi-sport fields more than ten years old were installed with UltraBlade or a comparable parallel slit-film fiber.
How does UltraBlade compare to Predator?
Predator is a dual-fiber system with Apex monofilament for blade integrity and Sharkstooth slit-film for traction. UltraBlade is a single-fiber slit-film system.
UltraBlade is the more economical choice for multi-use programs that need broad sport flexibility on a tighter budget. Predator is the choice for elite single-sport football and soccer where blade integrity through year eight is the priority.
How durable is UltraBlade?
UltraBlade routinely passes 100,000-plus cycles on Lisport accelerated testing. Sprinturf has installed more than 250 UltraBlade fields since 2006, and the slit-film fiber found on most American fields older than ten years is a parallel long-slit construction in this family.
Where is UltraBlade manufactured?
All UltraBlade fibers are extruded at the Sprinturf plant in Dadeville, Alabama. Tufting and coating happen at the Sprinturf plant in Chatsworth, Georgia. Sprinturf is the only North American synthetic turf company that owns extrusion through tufting through coating in-house.
What is the warranty?
UltraBlade carries an 8-year limited warranty against fiber failure, seam separation, and excessive color fade. As of 2026, Sprinturf has not had a fiber failure on a warranted field since 2010.
What infills are UltraBlade compatible with?
UltraBlade is compatible with crumb rubber, EPDM, TPE, Greenplay organic cork-and-coconut, and Sprinturf NaturalCool heat-mitigation infill. The recommended shock pad pairing is SprintPlay 580 at 10 mm.
Co-op buyers on Sourcewell, OMNIA, BuyBoard, or TIPS-USA can swap infill packages without re-bidding the carpet.
Buying through Sourcewell, OMNIA, BuyBoard, or TIPS-USA?
UltraBlade is on every contract. Most school districts and parks departments can piggyback an existing co-op contract and skip a full RFP.
