Yarn Fiber Materials

Artificial grass yarn fibers is one of the most important parts in artificial grass surface systems, the following are the materials that mostly used:

1. Polyethylene (PE),

Polyethylene (PE), is a synthetic yarn fiber made from olefins and was developed to be used for artificial grass surfaces. Soft and resilient, PE fibers are commonly used for lawn, landscape, chipping and tee lines projects. Most materials are tufted into porous backings. They dry very fast, are resistant to stains, mold, mildew, UV and high traffic, when properly installed, groomed and maintained. Many PE landscape, chipping and tee grass materials are now available in either slit film or monofilament fibers; from 1 to over 2 inches in height. Slit film styles (made popular in sports field installations) tend to be a wider blade, resembling some natural fescue grasses or a Bermuda grass while monofilament fibers are more like a natural lawn of rye or blue-grass.

2. Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene (PP) fibers were the first developed and used to simulate the performance of a bent-blade putting green surface. Many of the PP surface styles will be from 5/8 to 1.25 inches in blade height and once infilled and rolled will stay bent and hold speed.

3.Nylon (PA),

Nylon (PA), the first olefin fiber to be developed in the 1930s, and is most often used for putting green, chipping or field hockey surfaces. Nylon fibers are typically texturized and densely woven into non-permeable backing materials. Emerging styles include blades from 3/8 inch to over 2.5 inches and colors range from lite green to a richer, field green.
