In recent years, artificial turf in stability, lawn maintenance, sliding resistance and appearance and color, etc. has been significantly improved, and increasingly closer to natural grass, which are increasingly being applied in international venues.
Natural lawn in need of pruning, irrigation, fertilization and other routine maintenance before normal use, its life is generally 2-4 years. Artificial turf is about the life of 8 years to 12 years, in the use of surface debris needs to be removed regularly, sweeping uniform filling to make stem erect, comprehensive examination year-end work, carried out a total accounting of the total cost of the life cycle, artificial far lower than natural grass lawn, and some high-quality artificial turf can be 100% recycled, making the economic costs down further.
Natural turf can withstand the intensity of use is limited, one week should not hold more than five sports events, use only extension encountered rain and snow. Meanwhile natural grass is not suitable for non-contest too, a large public events, such as large-scale damage caused on the lawn. Artificial turf all-weather use, frequency of use restrictions do not exist, but can also provide other competitive sports baseball and other uses. Some group activities or organize a major exhibition can also be arranged on the artificial turf, but it should be noted that prolonged heavy overburden pressure may cause irreparable damage to the floor surface.
Currently artificial turf buffer layer material, mostly for domestic use and quartz sand particles made of recycled tires, recycled particles will emit greater taste and toxic gases, the use of recycled rubber longer period of time will be aging hardening, loss should have elasticity. When artificial turf sports field athletes vigorously against high-intensity, ankle, knee and health vulnerable.
Artificial grass construction materials is also very important, it will directly affect the quality of artificial turf laying. Plastic material, connected with the selection varies due to different venues, such as indoor and outdoor choose types of plastic waterproof, UV and other standards would vary. Domestic connections tensile performance is not satisfactory, easily broken; and stringent construction requirements abroad, although the pre-investment costs are relatively high, but was able to use, eliminating the need for a large amount of rework funds.
With sports and popular recreational sports in our country flourish, artificial turf stadium has become a symbol of modern sports facilities. In recent years, the National Stadium from school, kindergarten to community leisure facilities, artificial turf has been uncommon. I believe that in the near future, outstanding quality, wide field of application of artificial turf, with its excellent performance fully into our lives, to lead the new wave movement.
