Why Fill Turfs With Rubber Particles and Is It Harmful?

　　Many customers will ask why Artificial Grass for Football Field wants to add environmentally-friendly filler granules. Why not just lay artificial turf directly? Regardless of whether it is landscaping or sports venue construction, the proportion of artificial turf is increasing day by day. With the development of society, people are now demanding more and more livable environment. Natural lawns can not meet people's living needs in many aspects. In this powerful market context, the development of artificial turf is springing up. Artificial turf is popular because of its superior performance and the requirements that natural turf can't.

　As a Sport Artificial Grass Supplier, let's talk about the reason why the artificial turf on the football field can see the filled particles in the gap of the grass.

　　1. Since the lawn is made of polymer wire drawing, it is necessary to use rubber particles to press the grass and stabilize the lawn.

　　2, the football field lawn does not have soil, so when the collision or fall, the human body is stressed, it is easy to be injured, adding high-elastic rubber particles can effectively simulate the feeling of the soil, to prevent some of the injuries caused by collision with the ground;

　　3, the polymer brushed surface is much smoother than the real turf, especially when it is raining, then adding rubber particles can provide greater friction and improve the performance of the lawn.

What is the role of artificial turf in adding environmentally friendly filler particles?

First, physical performance is good

　　Filling the granules is a key element of the artificial turf system. Filling the granule insulation layer actually creates precise wave absorbing properties, the ball resilience, the ball sliding and deceleration are exhibited, and at the same time, it is not enough to maintain the full return of the grass. The original orientation and the help of the grass to maintain standing, beautiful consistency, filling the non-existent layer of particulate insulation, to provide a certain grip on the spikes, increase strain. It provides good surface elasticity and impacts resistance. It can effectively reduce the damage generated during exercise and thus be closer to the natural lawn.

Second, environmentally friendly and recyclable

　　1. Environmentally friendly and recyclable, energy-saving TPE environmentally-friendly and elastic filled particles meet EU environmental protection standards;

　　2, no smell, even if the sun is exposed, it will not release toxic gas or irritating odor;

　　3, the use of environmentally friendly particles can effectively reduce the harm to the environment and the physical damage of athletes.

Third, beautiful

　　In order to increase the elasticity, directly laying artificial turf will reduce the effect of the lawn, so that the artificial turf-filled granules can make the football field more beautiful. Gathering TPE's environmentally-friendly and elastic filling will keep the lawn bright and vibrant. Meet the aesthetic standards.

Are the rubber particles filled harmful?

In view of the increasing popularity of artificial turf football fields around the world, people are more concerned about the safety of the field, and higher requirements have been put forward. The French environmental department of the United Nations conducted a multi-party experiment on the rubber particles extracted using waste tires as raw materials to verify whether it would cause environmental pollution and harm human health.

The experiment was aimed at an artificial turf football field filled with rubber particles. The first is to test the infiltration and discharge of water passing through the site to determine whether it will have an adverse impact on the environment; the second is to detect and analyze the air composition above and around the site, especially for the emissions from the filled rubber particles gas detection.

At the same time, in order to improve the credibility and comprehensiveness of the test data and make the conclusion that rubber particles are harmful more convincing, the experimenters chose three rubber particles that are more commonly used in the market as experimental samples and filled them into three identical pieces. Among the artificial turf, it was placed in some different environments, in a normal-used artificial turf football field, and an unfilled artificial turf was placed at the same time for comparison.

In the end, for the proposition whether the rubber particles filled in the artificial turf football field are harmful, it has been proved through experiments that the rubber particles will not pollute the environment or cause harm to the human body. The first is the water discharged from artificial turf filled with rubber particles. Its water quality has not been affected and is safe for the environment. The second is whether it is emitted from artificial turf and rubber particles, whether indoors or outdoors. The emitted gas will not cause damage to the human body.

Even if the rubber granules made from the recycling of used tires that have been criticized by people are treated scientifically and normatively, they can also reach the safe use standard. Artificial Grass is harmless, and the rubber particles it fills are harmless. It is suitable for the paving of schools, clubs, streets, indoor and outdoor football fields, but it must be emphasized that the premise of harmlessness is quality Passing must be strictly controlled.
