In this blog article, we take a closer look at the topic.
Artificial turf is a synthetic surface that imitates natural grass. It consists of plastic fibers, usually made of polyethylene, polypropylene or nylon, attached to a durable latex or polyurethane mat. These fibers vary in length, density and softness depending on the application. To create a natural feel and cushioning, infill materials such as sand, rubber granules or alternative bio-based materials – such as BIQ Material high quality bioinfill – are used .
Artificial turf is mainly used for sports fields such as football pitches, rugby fields and golf courses, but also for landscaping, schools and playgrounds.
