Gateball is an outdoor sport that is beneficial to the body and mind, and is most popular among senior activities. Most of these sites use artificial turf as a paving, and the main material is plastic turf.
In addition, the artificial turf sports field materials for gateball courts mainly include artificial turf, artificial turf filling accessories and artificial turf shock absorbing pads. The artificial turf of the gateball court is mainly made of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and nylon (PA).
Polyethylene artificial turf has a soft feel and sports characteristics similar to natural grass, making it widely usedPolypropylene artificial turf has good heat resistance, but it is hard, and the wear resistance needs to be improvedNylon artificial turf has high abrasion resistance and elasticity, but poor heat resistance. The artificial turf filling accessories for gateball courts refer to quartz sand.
These fillers make it necessary to establish the properties of the system, mainly using EPDM particles and TPE particles, both of which have good elasticity and chemical resistance, which can protect joints and ligaments and reduce the risk of injury. Artificial turf cushions on gateball courts provide additional shock absorption, reduce sports injuries and increase the rate of the ball. It is generally made of a soft material, such as polyurethane foam or rubber, and laid on the bottom of the artificial turf. When choosing the material for the artificial turf sports field of the gateball court, it is necessary to consider factors such as abrasion resistance, weather resistance, ultraviolet resistance, environmental performance and safety. At the same time, proper maintenance and upkeep are also important factors in maintaining the performance of artificial turf.
