subject: The Latest Technology Used In Artificial Grass [print this page] Artificial grass manufacturer lawn suitable for sports fields, which artificial grass manufacturerlawn consists of a base layer, on which only artificial grass manufacturerfibres are disposed, said artificial grass manufacturerfibres being composed of first artificial grass manufacturerfibres, as well as further artificial grass manufacturerfibres, which are worked into said base layer, characterized in that said further artificial grass manufacturerfibres are arranged in such a way as to exhibit damping properties in order to absorb shocks on the lawn during play and to transmit the shocks to the base layer without infill material.
The object of the invention is to provide an artificial grass manufacturer field which is substantially free of maintenance and which does not exhibit the aforesaid drawbacks. In accordance with the invention, the artificial grass manufacturerlawn is characterized in that said base layer comprises a material having damping properties, which is present thereon and/or therein. The drawbacks of filling the spaces between the artificial fibres with damping material are thus completely overcome, so that an artificial grass manufacturerfield obtained in this manner is substantially free of maintenance. Moreover, the damping material can be worked into the artificial grass manufacturerlawn during the manufacturing process already, so that the artificial grass manufacturerfield can be constructed in one operation. This leads to a considerable saving of labour.
As a result of the damping properties of the artificial grass manufacturer lawn according to the invention, shocks resulting from the more intensive and usually varying (both as regards energy and as regards direction) loads exerted thereon by the players and the attributes they use can be absorbed much more effectively and be transmitted to base layer 3 (and to the subbase on which said base layer 3 is disposed). Not only are the actual artificial grass manufacturerfibres 2 loaded much less in this way, as a result of which their life is extended, but in addition the way of playing on a natural lawn is approximated as closely as possible whilst preventing injuries.
