Artificial grass originated in the United States 50 years ago. It was first used on the rugby field, and soon popularized in other sports fields. As the world's largest sport, football has a huge space, which undoubtedly becomes an important battlefield of artificial lawn. There are four stages in the development of football grass making lawn.
The first generation of football grass is made of PA (nylon) as the main material, wear resistance and weatherability, appearance similar to carpet, poor elasticity, surface hardness, relatively expensive, no elastic layer, no sand, as football grass is easy to scrape the skin;
The second generation of football artificial grass is made of PP (polypropylene) as the main material, generally used as curly grassland material, straw hardness and nylon is softer, has stronger plasticity, wear resistance is slightly worse, the price is more affordable, inelastic layer, filled with quartz sand particles, used as football grass is easy to scratch the skin;
PE (polyethylene) is the main material of the third generation football grass, which is also the most commonly used type of grass silk at this stage. And there are PP + PE, PP + PA, PE + PA mixing, straight curl blending, as well as different forms of silk grass and other forms, soft, wear-resistant, moderate price, using quartz sand and rubber particles to fill, in appearance and sports performance has been comparable to the real grass.
The fourth generation of football turf is a major innovation based on the traditional turf, which refers to the "no-filling football grass + cushion" as a combination of no-filling football turf system. This is the first concept of the fourth generation of artificial lawn put forward by AAG Artificial Grass in the world.
The so-called fourth generation of artificial turf, is to abandon the "quartz sand + rubber particles" as a filler, and the use of "no-filling football grass + cushion" to achieve the artificial turf movement and protection function. At this stage of the artificial turf market, the fourth generation of artificial grass is the closest to the real turf type in terms of tactile, motion, fall, sliding resistance and ball rolling feedback.
