Things You Know In Order To Maintain Synthetic Grass
Posted by Unknown on 1:35 AM with No comments
Artificial fibers are sometimes used to create a natural looking grass surface. This synthetic grass has most often been used in areas for sports that either traditionally played on grasses, or still currently do. Lately, however, these artificial surfaces have been used for residential homes and commercial landscapes as well.
This surface can withstand quite a lot of wear and pressure. It also doesn't need any regular trimming or watering to maintain its look. Sports arenas love this surface because they aren't able to get sunlight to all areas of natural grass even if they wanted to. The surface does have negative factors, though. It has sparked some health and safety concerns due to its toxic chemicals and petroleum ingredients. It also requires a specific procedure of cleaning periodically, and does not have a long shelf life.
The artificial grass is made of plastic granules mixed with coloring agents and UV stabilizer additives. All these ingredients are mixed together and heated, pressed, and pressured through an extruder head of some kind. The type of extruder head determines the specific shape of the product. This entire process creates the individual fibers, either fibrillated or monofilament, which would later be used to create the synthetic lawn.
A thin film of plastic is placed inside through the extruder head when creating fibrillated fibers, similar to that of a videotape. In order to achieve a honeycomb structure when the film is pulled apart, the plastic is pierced in notches, and then spun around until it is round in shape. Fibrillated fibers are great because they are less costly, which is why a lot of sports venues choose to use them. The one downside might be that they aren't realistic looking initially, and it takes quite a while for the notches to spread further apart for the fibers to start looking natural.
On the other hand, monofilament fibers are pushed through extruder heads like ready-to-use fibers, comparable to spaghetti. These fibers are then coiled together into bundles, each one forming a pile of grass. This option looks much more natural than fibrillated fibers. They are flexible, soft, and wear resistance; though this all depends on the shapes, ingredients, and proportions of the fibers themselves.
Suppliers who want a specific end product have the choice to change the ingredient mixtures, but know that the combinations determine the quality of the grass. The individual fibers are afterwards made resistant to fluctuating temperatures between -50 and 50 degrees Celsius. They are also made to resist any wear and pressure they might be met with. The final parts are wrapped around bobbins, or spools and sent to manufacturers.
These bobbins are put on machines that are four meters wide and have needles that push the fibers through backings. This tufting process is comparable to any standard sewing machine. The final resulting appearance of the artificial turf relies on the machine and its needles, the fiber itself, and the fiber height.
In order to keep these fibers in place, a liquid mixture is poured on the backing and hardened in the oven. After this, the product is finally finished. It is then sent out for sale or installation.
