What factors are related to the service life of artificial turf?
Apr 14, 2024
With the development of the market economy, changes in public demand, the continuous innovation of artificial turf production technology, and the rich variety of products, artificial turf is replacing natural turf in terms of weather resistance, durability, safety performance and economical and practical performance. status and is more widely used in various scenarios. But over time, long-term sun, rain, and trampling will shorten the service life of artificial turf. Today we will take a look at the factors related to the service life of artificial turf.
1. Frequency and intensity of use
Although artificial turf has excellent durability, it cannot withstand high-intensity exercise indefinitely. The artificial turf field should be allowed a certain rest period after high-intensity exercise. Due to the limitations of artificial grass's own uprightness and resilience, if it is under excessive load for a long time, the artificial grass filaments will be damaged to a certain extent, which will eventually affect the overall service life of the site.
2. Maintenance and maintenance of artificial grass
After the lawn is laid, corresponding maintenance should be carried out regularly, and all kinds of residues on the lawn should be cleaned in time. Sports that require the use of sharp equipment such as javelin and spike shoes should not be carried out. Regularly check whether the filling in the lawn is lost and whether the joints are Open glue cracks. After discovering the problem, promptly repair the degumming and threading of the joints and fill them with rubber particles.
3. Site foundation construction
The field foundation is not only one of the most important links in the entire artificial turf laying, but also the carrier of the entire sports field. Its quality directly affects the performance and service life of the entire artificial turf sports field. Therefore, during the field foundation construction Be sure to choose a professional construction team to carry out site foundation and lawn laying construction. Infrastructure construction must use a hard foundation. Conventional foundations include cement foundation and asphalt foundation, and then choose filling auxiliary materials that meet national standards for paving. It is recommended to use 40-60 mesh quartz sand, 16-20 mesh TPE or EPDM environmentally friendly particles.
4. Quality of artificial grass products
The service life of artificial turf is closely related to the composition of the raw materials of grass fibers. In order to extend the service life of the lawn, when purchasing lawns, we must choose high-quality artificial grass products, manufacturers with technical strength, and have test reports and certification certificates issued by nationally recognized institutions. The main requirements for artificial lawns Relevant testing of performance parameters, such as wear resistance, anti-aging performance, etc.
