Core Composition: From Materials to Structure

The performance and user experience of artificial turf are mainly determined by its layered structure and materials. It is typically divided into three layers:

1. Turf Blade Layer (Surface Layer)

As the core functional layer, it directly defines the "appearance" and durability of the turf. The mainstream materials are polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP); some high-end products also add nylon to enhance toughness. Through special processes, the turf blades are shaped to mimic natural grass, with two common types:

Monofilament blades: Featuring fine texture and high realism, they are suitable for residential use.

Fibrillated blades: Boasting a tough structure and excellent wear resistance, they are ideal for sports fields.

The length of the blades usually ranges from 10mm to 50mm, and can be selected based on the application scenario-for example, shorter blades are preferred for children's play areas, while longer blades are more suitable for courtyard decoration.

2. Cushion Layer (Middle Layer)

Located beneath the turf blade layer, its main functions are shock absorption, anti-slip, and improving foot comfort. Common materials include:

EPDM rubber granules: Offering good elasticity.

Polyurethane (PU) cushion pads.

Polyester fiber non-woven fabric.

This layer effectively reduces the impact force when people fall, making it particularly suitable for sports fields and children's activity areas.

3. Base Layer (Bottom Layer)

It serves to fix the turf blades and facilitate drainage. Typically made of polyethylene (PE) woven fabric or polypropylene (PP) composite fabric, it has excellent tensile strength and water permeability. This allows rainwater to drain quickly, preventing water accumulation and mold growth on the turf.
