Currently, there are many types of artificial grass produced in different countries. On the market today, there are artificial grass imported from the US, the Netherlands, and China. Depending on the time of exploitation and the object of the player, you can choose the type of grass accordingly.
Some types of artificial grass you can refer to such as DVN 11, DVN 52, DVN 32, DVN 22, etc…
To easily choose the right artificial grass, you should understand the following characteristics
Basic Specifications
- Pile height: Shows the height of the grass
- Dtex: Shows the weight of the grass fiber.
- Stitch Rate: Number of stitches of grass (How many stitches / 10 cm).
- Gauge: Distance between 2 rows of grass, 3/4 inch = 19 mm.
- Density: Number of stitches per square meter.
The above parameters have been shown quite clearly and are easily recognizable for investors: Stitch rate, Gauge, Desnisity all three of these parameters indicate the thickness of the stitches on the artificial grass. The DTEX parameter shows the weight of the artificial grass fiber:
For example, Dtex 11000 means 10,000md of artificial grass fiber weighing 11,000 grams. But you need to know clearly that this is the weight of the whole artificial grass cluster, not an artificial grass fiber.
For example: A cluster of 12 grass fibers with the parameter shown as Dtex 11,000, weighing 10,000 md of all 12 fibers, it will weigh 11,000 grams.
This indicates that this is only a parameter indicating the weight or thickness of the artificial grass. So it cannot be confirmed that this is the parameter to ensure that the artificial grass fiber ensures good quality for you.
Some Notes to Avoid Confusion When Choosing Artificial Grass
In addition, when choosing the right artificial grass for your purpose, you also need to pay attention to some of the following criteria:
Artificial Grass Base Layer
Most artificial grass manufacturers today produce 3 layers of base and use plastic tarpaulin material with PP material, middle layer of pressed cotton or mesh layer, a chemical glue layer to protect the artificial grass foot.
The difference between manufacturers is only using virgin or recycled PP material, what material and whether it meets ISO standards?
But all these differences are not too big of a problem for the life of artificial grass, as we know PP is a soil-insoluble fiber that can withstand outdoor temperatures. So the problem of artificial grass failure within 5 years – 7 years is almost non-existent, This has been tested in practice.
Artificial Grass Yarn
This is an issue that few, most investors are not interested in or have not yet cared about. How long the grass fiber can be used for is very important, this is a problem related to the quality of the court surface to play football.
To understand how artificial grass fibers ensure football competition standards, how grass fibers can be used for 5 years – 10 years without fading, shrinking, splitting and still ensuring quality. 90% like new.
