Professional answers from artificial turf manufacturers; Why does artificial turf experience shedding of hair and breakage of grass fibers within a short period of use?

After less than a year of use after the installation and laying of artificial turf, it has been found that when people move on the turf, there will be shedding of hair, breakage of grass fibers, and the phenomenon of shedding. What is the reason for this phenomenon? If this situation occurs, it must be due to the quality of the lawn. Usually, there are three main reasons for this

he first point; Excessive addition of recycled materials makes it impossible to ensure the wear resistance of reused materials
At present, the artificial turf materials on the market are divided into two types: pure materials and recycled materials. The grass fibers pulled from pure raw materials are wear-resistant and have high glossiness. However, the grass fibers added with recycled materials are dull, very brittle, easy to break, and not wear-resistant. After a period of use, a large amount of grass fibers will fall off, shedding hair and other serious product quality problems will occur.

Second point; No anti-aging agent and anti ultraviolet agent are added or not added according to the standard
Failure to add enough anti-aging and anti ultraviolet agents will lead to serious product quality problems such as large-scale weathering and falling off of the grass after being exposed to the sun.

The third point; Grass silk has a low weight and low wear resistance coefficient
The weight of grass fibers directly affects the service life of the lawn. If the weight is too low, there will be a lack of sufficient wear resistance and wear resistance time. After a period of use, quality problems such as grass fiber branching and breakage will occur due to the obvious insufficient weight of grass fibers.

Based on the above reasons; When purchasing artificial turf, we need to identify, evaluate, and make wise choices based on the above knowledg
How to do it? Only three steps are needed;

  1. To see the sample of the lawn, the surface of the lawn should have glossiness and no dull plastic feel.
  2. Look at the grass silk. Thin grass silk has a lower weight, although it has a higher weight, there are components with false labels. Grass silk must be thick and robust.
  3. Sign a formal purchase and sales contract with the manufacturer, specifying a warranty period of at least three years.
    Only by understanding general lawn knowledge can we make the right choices when purchasing such products in the future, and avoid unnecessary troubles in the later stages of procurement.
