Artificial turf for football fields: a professional guide to solving common problems.
Artificial turf for football stadiums is now widely used in various occasions, it is not only easy to install, long to use, but also very easy to maintain. However, in the course of daily use, some common problems also come with it. In order to help you better understand and solve these problems, Shengli Sports will explain it to you in detail.
1.Fading and chalking.
The core component of artificial turf in football stadiums is artificial grass. The raw materials of grass are mainly polyethylene and polypropylene. These materials are environmentally friendly if they are made from virgin materials and are almost identical to mineral water bottles and fresh-keeping bags. However, in order to reduce costs, some manufacturers add secondary recycled materials, which greatly reduce the strength, toughness, and aging resistance of grass, shorten its lifespan, and make it difficult to distinguish by appearance. In addition, the artificial turf of football stadiums also needs to be added with a large number of anti-ultraviolet agents, anti-aging agents, colorants and other formulations. If the amount of these additives is not appropriate, it can cause the artificial grass to begin to fade or even crumble soon after use.
2.* Dropped, broken, or detached.
The quality of artificial turf in football stadiums can be tested from two basic aspects, one is time and the other is temperature. Inferior grass silk is easy to ** and fall off after a long period of use, and sticks to the body like fluff. Of course, a lawn with good technology will be durable and not easy to ** and fall off. In addition, the artificial turf of a low-quality football field will rise in temperature quickly after being exposed to hot summer weather, which not only gives off a pungent odor, but also tends to break the grass. Therefore, when choosing artificial turf for football fields, it is essential to choose a product that is highly weather-resistant, which does not alter the performance of the turf at extremely high or low temperatures. When the artificial turf of a football field is off the line or cracked, the strength and abrasion resistance of the backing are often insufficient. The durability of the backing is one of the key issues in the quality of artificial turf in football stadiums. Problems with on-site stripping can also be caused by uneven scratching on the bottom and back, immature scratching techniques, or relatively low grass abrasion resistance.
3.safety issues such as friction and burns.
Since the structure of the artificial turf of the football field does not play a water-saving role, it cannot reduce the surface temperature, and its heat capacity is small. In summer, in enclosed stadiums, the surface temperature may be higher than the air temperature. If the user rubs the user vigorously at this time, the ** of the contact part will be slightly or seriously injured.
4.Static electricity and a sense of stagnation.
Anti-static properties and stagnation are also key aspects of the competition for artificial turf products in football stadiums, which are related to the scratch coefficient and movement effect of the product. The evaluation of artificial turf for football fields is the same as that of other products, mainly depending on the choice of raw materials such as grass filament and underlayment, as well as post-treatment processes such as squeegee.
In short, when choosing and using artificial turf for football fields, it is important to take into account the problems that may arise above and choose products of good quality and mature technology. In this way, your venue is not only beautiful and durable, but also safe and comfortable for your occupants.
