In recent years, artificial turf has been greatly improved in terms of stability, turf maintenance, skid resistance, appearance, and color, and is getting closer to natural turf. Therefore, it is more and more widely used in international competitions.
Natural lawns need to be trimmed, irrigated and fertilized. Normal lifespan of 2 to 4 years is usually available. The service life of artificial turf is approximately 8 to 12 years. It requires regular removal of surface debris, uniform filling of stems and vertical, and annual For a comprehensive inspection, the artificial turf is far lower than the natural turfgrass in view of the total life cycle cost, further reducing the cost.
Natural turf can withstand a limited range of use and must not exceed five games in a week. Rain and snow can only be postponed. At the same time, natural turf is not suitable for too many non-competitive activities, such as large-scale public activities, causing great damage to the lawn. Artificial turf can be used throughout the day with unlimited use frequency and can also be used for baseball and other sports. Some collective activities or large-scale exhibitions can also be arranged on artificial turf, but pay attention to the lawn's weight and long-term overload.
At present, most artificial turf in China is filled with waste tire particles and quartz sand. Recovered particles produce a large amount of odor and toxic gases. For a long time, the recycled rubber particles will harden, harden and lose their desired elasticity. Impact on human health. After Metso's artificial turf was passed, SGS certified sports, with its own patented products, especially the introduction of advanced products, leading the development trend of the industry.
The auxiliary materials used in the construction of artificial turf are also very important and directly affect the laying quality of artificial turf. The choice of glue is different from the choice of indoor and outdoor water-repellent glues, and the UV resistance standards are also different. Domestic connectors have unsatisfactory tensile properties and are easily broken. However, the construction requirements are very strict. Although the initial investment cost is high, it can save a lot of maintenance funds.
With the vigorous development of China's sports industry, artificial turf sports fields have become a symbol of modern sports facilities in China. In recent years, artificial turf has become commonplace in school gymnasiums, kindergartens and leisure places throughout the country. I believe that in the near future, excellent artificial turf will enter our lives with its excellent performance and lead the new trend of sports.
