Orlando, Florida and Midland, Michigan – A Dow turf that uses polyurethane technologies will be the official playing surface for hockey competitions during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The firm is working with sports surfaces manufacturer Polytan STI to create the material for use at the Deodoro Olympic Park. They collaborated on the turf in London 2012’s Riverbank Arena.
Ana Carolina Haracemiv, global marketing director, Dow packaging & specialty plastics, said: “The solution we developed together is durable, low maintenance, stays consistently flat and fast from game to game and requires no watering.”
