Generally artificial lawns are not affected by freezing, because the freezing conditions will automatically melt and be evaporated clean. However, in order to make the playground available in time, it is necessary to remove the frozen ice on the artificial lawn. The removal of ice is rather difficult. So how does artificial turf have frozen ice?
In order to remove the frozen turf without damaging the turf, a common method is to crush the ice on the artificial turf with a heavy roller. After crushed, the ice can be swept directly from the field. Usually when the sun is out, and when the ice or frost is not very thick, it will melt itself quickly, with little effect.
But if the ice is thick, there is no other way for it to melt for a long time, only chemicals can be used to help it melt. But be careful, no matter what chemicals are used on artificial lawns, they leave some residue and wash the site if the weather permits.
If the ice on the artificial lawn is thick, urea can be sprayed to help freeze and thaw, and about 100 Ibs of urea is needed every 3,000 square feet (for reference only, adjustable in different areas under different circumstances). When the urea is sown, the ice on the site will be half a small size before it melts. The melted ice should be cleaned with a washer, rubber cleaner, sweeper or other suitable equipment. Urea has little effect at -12 C and can not melt ice at -17 C. A small amount of urea residue will remain on the site and be cleaned under weather conditions.
In the process of spraying urea on artificial lawns, be careful not to let urea into your eyes, because it may cause minor damage to your eyes. If you accidentally enter the eyes of athletes, rinse with plenty of water immediately.
In the course of spraying, try not to use chemicals that may cause damage or toxicity to artificial lawn, not salt, mineral salt, calcium chloride, other corrosives and toxic chemicals. Heavy equipment should not be put on the ground for a long time, which will damage artificial turf.
