Comparison Of Artificial Turf

Artificial turf was first introduced in China in the late 1980s and was not widely promoted until the mid to late 1990s. It has become the standard model for building school sports fields along with plastic tracks, replacing a large number of sports fields that were originally planted with natural lawns. Although the application scope of artificial turf has been limited to some extent due to factors such as sports safety, venue characteristics, and public awareness, with the development of technology
The production and production technology of artificial turf has been continuously innovated and improved. The sixth generation artificial turf made of open mesh single fiber filament is closer to natural turf in terms of field sports indicators such as shock absorption ratio, ball rebound rolling, and turning value, and even has advantages in certain characteristics. In terms of sports safety performance, the improvement of the new generation of artificial grass fibers in surface coatings and polymer materials can effectively reduce the occurrence of sports injuries such as skin scratches and foot sprains and bruises. The advantages of artificial turf and natural turf are relatively prominent, and the shortcomings and drawbacks objectively exist. When choosing to use them, it is necessary to consider the actual situation comprehensively.
Compared with natural lawns, artificial lawns typically have much harder surfaces and lower friction coefficients of chemical fibers compared to lawn grass leaves. In football, this can lead to excessive ball speed and rebound rate, thereby increasing the difficulty for athletes to control the ball.
The advantage of artificial turf over natural turf in terms of sports characteristics lies in its excellent field uniformity and much better flatness, which can fully avoid adverse field conditions caused by factors such as climate and maintenance, thereby affecting the competition.
