As the most renowned manufacturer of artificial turf in China We are dedicated to providing top-quality products to our customers at affordable costs. Although there are cheaper alternatives available on markets, it’s crucial to recognize the importance of quality and its price. We place a high priority on the use of carefully selected, high-quality material to guarantee high-end standard of the artificial grass we use. This article we’ll examine the main elements that affect the cost and quality of artificial grass. We will concentrate specifically on the materials that are used.
Components of Artificial Grass
Artificial grass is made up of two major elements: yarn and backing. The yarn is composed of the resin pellets and additives along with masterbatch (which determines the color). Quality of pellets made from resin and additives greatly affects the cost and quality of the yarn. The coating materials used to make backing have a substantial influence on the quality of the yarn and its cost. Let’s examine the factors that determine the quality and cost of these three components that include additives, resin pellets as well as coating.
PE/PP Resin Pellets
Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are the main substances used to make artificial grass yarn. Our company has a majority of the yarns that we offer are composed from polyethylene. Polypropylene is mostly used to make thatch yarn.
Utilizing recycled PE or low-purity PE or PP pellets to extrude synthetic grass yarn can dramatically cut expenses. However, this can compromise the quality of yarn and results in inconsistent shades, dark hues and an increased risk of the effects of rain and sunlight. Certain low-quality yarns may contain high-quality materials that could pose dangers to human health.
At Roen we only employ the best PE/PP resin pellets that are sourced from reliable suppliers like CNPC as well as Sinopec. These pellets are completely free of heavy metals and have been subjected to rigorous tests and confirmation by SGS. Although our raw materials might be a bit higher in comparison to other Chinese producers, we strongly believe that the quality is worth the price increase in the range of 0.2-0.5 USD/square meters.
Additives
Additives are vital to enhancing the performance of synthetic grass yarn. They are plasticizers, curing agents antioxidants, antioxidants, anti-ultraviolet agent as well as bacteriostat agents as well as flame retardants, wear-resistant agents masterbatch granules, and wear-resisting agents. The quantity and quality of these additives have a significant impact on their overall performance and cost of artificial grass.
Certain factories choose to use lower-quality additives that contain harmful substances in order to save money. For example a curing agent containing the chemical ethylenediamine may cause dermatitis edema when it comes in contact with skin. Stabilizers with lead compounds may cause insomnia, headaches and may even hinder the mental development of children. Colorants containing benzopyrene can raise the chance of getting cancer.
Safety is a top priority in all products, but especially products that are used by children. Artificial grass is commonly used in play areas and making sure it is safe for children is our primary concern.
Furthermore, even if additives are of good quality but insufficient amounts can impact the performance. Lack of anti-UV ingredients like those, for instance, can cause artificial grass colors becoming faded quickly. At Arturf We use premium additives and can alter the formula of additives based on the conditions of the various regions. Our aim is to provide the finest artificial grass of the highest quality to our cherished customers.
Coating
Coating plays an important role in the process of securing the yarn the backing of artificial turf. In the absence of coating, the fiber could be easily detached from the backing, which could compromise the durability of the system, particularly in artificial fields that are subject to the rigors of heavy traffic.
The expense of coatings influences the variance in prices for artificial turf while other specifications are similar. At Arturf we make use of special coating adhesives that are imported from BASF. Although BASF adhesive prices are higher than 15,000 RMB (2,300 USD) per ton, standard coating adhesives cost around 8000 RMB (1,200 USD) per ton.
We have chosen BASF Artificial grass coating glue because of its compliance with the highest industry standards. The outstanding durability guarantees that the backing will hold the fibers in place while the coating’s exceptional waterproofing capabilities provide additional sturdiness.
The two primary substances used in artificial grass coat adhesives is latex as well as polyurethane. A polyurethane-coated surface costs around 1. US dollars more per square meters, compared with latex coated.
Although both polyurethane and backings have merits however, synthetic turf with a backing of polyurethane is more durable and usually comes with longer warranties. Polyurethane backing is particularly recommended for families with pets since it is not able to take in liquids, moisture, or urine as latex does which can cause odor and hygiene problems.
Conclusion
The quality of the raw materials can significantly impact the price and quality synthetic grass. If you are considering buying a product it is essential to consider more than the price. We suggest spending time finding out about three reliable sellers asking for samples for evaluation and comparison. This way you will be able to make an informed choice and choose the best product that meets your requirements. Be sure to think about Arturf We offer no-cost quotations and free examples to assist you in making a good decision.
