Is a higher abrasion number always better?
Not necessarily. The testing methodology and conditions must be comparable before two numbers can be meaningfully evaluated.
Is higher DTEX always better?
No. DTEX should be balanced with fiber geometry, density, resilience, playing characteristics and overall system design.
Does high density automatically make artificial turf more durable?
No. Density is only one design parameter. Fiber quality, anchoring, UV stability, structure and system performance are also important.
Can wear-resistant turf still experience fiber loss?
Yes. Fiber abrasion and tuft loss are different failure mechanisms. A durable system should demonstrate both good fiber durability and adequate tuft anchoring.
Is non-infill turf suitable for professional football?
Potentially, provided the complete turf system meets the relevant performance requirements and certification criteria for the intended facility.
What is the most important wear-resistance report to request?
There is no single universal report. For professional projects, it is preferable to review a combination of mechanical wear testing, fiber strength retention, tuft withdrawal resistance, accelerated aging and complete field-performance testing.
