There are two types of professional artificial turf football fields: filled and unfilled. Infill artificial turf needs to be filled with quartz sand and rubber particles, while no-fill does not need to be filled with both materials. Artificial turf for football stadiums is usually made of polymers made of polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), which have very similar sports characteristics to natural turf, can be used all year round, and are more convenient to maintain than natural turf.
The main type of turf used in professional artificial turf soccer pitches is extruded reinforced monofilament grass, which is a turf-shaped monofilament grass that is more comfortable and elastic to kick than no-fill artificial turf. Because the monofilament needs to be filled with quartz sand and rubber particles, so that the elasticity is similar to that of natural grass, and the elasticity is better than that of non-filling artificial turf, so large football fields will generally use filled artificial turf. However, the non-filling is also particularly beneficial, such as convenience, quick replacement, and with the improvement of the production process, the artificial turf filled is getting closer and closer.
For an 11-a-side football field, the height of the artificial turf should be between 50 and 65 mm, the density of the artificial turf should be between 9500 and 10500 square meters, and the DETX value of the artificial turf should be greater than 6000. The quartz sand used in the site should have a particle size of 03～1.Between 5 mm, the silicon content is more than 90%. The filling volume of quartz sand on the site should be between 20 and 30 kg square meters. At the same time, the rubber particles used in the site should have a particle size of between 1 3 mm, and the filling volume of rubber particles should be between 5 8 kg square meters. These details are taken into account to ensure the quality and comfort of the football pitch and provide the best possible playing environment for the players.
