Artificial turf was born in the United States in the 1960s, introduced to China in the late 1980s, and was not widely promoted until the mid-to-late 1990s. After a long period of development, artificial grass technology has become relatively mature, and many technical indicators are close to natural grass. Whether artificial turf is used as a landscape decoration or a sports field, anti-aging is one of its most basic requirements.
Commonly used artificial turf generally has a service life of 6-10 years. In the process of long-term use, artificial turf will inevitably appear aging. Although the aging of artificial turf is uncontrollable, we can still use some methods to judge whether artificial turf is aging in advance, and prolong its service life and duration as much as possible. Here, I will share with you the four major phenomena of artificial turf aging.
The degree of abrasion of the grass fiber
Artificial turf sites will cause wear and tear of artificial turf filaments during long-term use, and the filament fibers will more or less have some bifurcation and splitting phenomena, and even fall off in serious cases, especially when the frequency of use is high. The most obvious school playground, high-intensity competition and long-term use, greatly shorten the service life of artificial turf. Therefore, when purchasing artificial turf, we must choose products with good quality grass and excellent wear resistance, which can reduce the wear consumption of grass to a certain extent, avoid the loss of grass fibers and cause lawn replacement, and reduce economic losses.
