What is artificial grass made of?
Artificial grass consists of three parts, they are:
1, Blade
Blade, we called it monofilament. People always say that the grass is made of PP or PE not plastic, in fact, PP and PE are a kind of plastic.
Here are two pictures of the chemical formula for PP and PE.
They have good performance to be used in medical supplies, auto parts, home building materials, and other products. PP and PE as raw materials for artificial grass, they don’t have mental, and they’re safe.
2, Basic cloth
Why need basic cloth? We need to hold the monofilament in place. Depending on the client’s demand, basic cloth has different types, single, double, or three layers.
3, Latex
There are two kinds of latex most commonly used in the market, one is SBR, the other is PU.
Normally, Detron Turf has worked with Dow(U.S. ) and BASF (DE), we ensure that we work with the best brands on raw materials to ensure that our products are of reliable quality.
How is artificial grass made?
1, Turfing
what means is turfing? It’s abstract. Kindly check the picture below:
It’s very like sewing with a sewing machine, the monofilament will be punched in the basic cloth, and there is a hook that pulls the tread back, making a loop. This process is turfing.
2, Gumming
After punching the monofilament in the basic cloth, we got a semi-finished artificial turf, we need gumming latex, which ensures the monofilament will stick to the basic cloth.
4 Punching
No one wants a pool on a rainy day, punching the holes will help grass drain off water.
3, Drying
The turf enters the oven at the proper temperature, dry the latex will help the latex curdle, now, the monofilament is stuck to the backing firmly.
5, Rolling
Often, we saw grass rolled by the roll. Rolling the grass up is help us to keep it better in the warehouse.
So here we are…
Indeed. The artificial grass is finished. It is wrapped in plastic wrap to protect it against external influences and is then stored in the warehouse. Usually, it is then transported over the entire globe.
