Artificial Grass (Products - Applications)

The first large projects date from the period 1964-1966 with the renowned AstroDome Baseball Stadium in Texas (USA) as a prime example. Here natural grass was replaced by artificial grass which, from that moment onwards, became famously known as Astroturf.

The development of its predecessor dates back to the end of the fifties when research was done to find a safe surface for schools and playgrounds.

 

Evolution Artificial GrassAt this moment, production technology is so advanced that artificial grass can be used in a wide variety of situations: from a ski run in Portugal to airport runways, motorway embankments and a training ground at the top of an apartment building in the heart of Tokyo. These are just a small example of the different applications in which artificial grass has been used with tremendous success.

KunstgrasWereld offers you over forty different types of synthetic products in which the combination of pile height and density is perfect for its specific goal and determines its look & feel.

Characteristics Artificial Grassresistant to all types of weather and the most extreme of temperatures so that it can stay outside without rotting;

• chlorine (swimming pools), sea water (boats) and UV resistant to avoid the fading of colours;

• permeable and extra perforated for easy drainage;

• can be recycled making it environmentally friendly and ecologically safe.

Specifications Artificial Grass

• blokcopolymer (BP): a mixture of 95% polypropylene with approximately 5% polyethylene;

• polyamide (PA) or nylon: very stiff, low UV resistance, hard-wearing, less frequently used;

• polyethylene (PE): soft and supple, high UV resistance, hard-wearing, resistant to low temperatures;

• polypropylene (PP): relatively cheap, somewhat stiff, infill of rubber granules diminishes the UV resistance in case of direct sunlight;

• monofilament: very hard-wearing but difficult to keep the fibre upright, therefore this has to be supported with infill material;

• fibrillated fibre: rapid-wear because there are more points of contact, great coverage of infill material that makes it less visible and avoids bouncing.
