How to distinguish between artificial turf and environmental protection

With the improvement of living standards, people's concern and demand for environmental protection and healthy sports facilities products are increasing. But there are also environmental concerns when it comes to Artificial Turf. After all, it's about health. How to determine the environmental and non-environmental nature of artificial turf? We'll show you how to tell the difference between green and non-green.
First of all, the current mainstream artificial turf system includes grass fiber, rubber particle filling layer, quartz sand filling layer, bottom cloth, back glue, basic six modules. Among them, the artificial turf composed of grass silk, back cloth and back glue is provided by artificial turf manufacturers; Rubber pellets and quartz sand are purchased by the user or engineering contractor.
About grass silk
The main requirements for artificial turf grass are heavy metals such as antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury and selenium. The artificial turf uses a new high quality olefin polymer. The production process of artificial turf adopts high temperature resistant color master and processing additives that do not contain heavy metals.
About the back cloth
At present, there are only a few large-scale artificial turf substrate manufacturers, and these large-scale artificial turf manufacturers have the relevant qualification certificate. Artificial turf quality and environmental protection is relatively reliable, basic environmental problems do not exist.
About gumback
At present, there are two main kinds of adhesive used for artificial turf: butadiene latex and polyurethane. Polyurethane, as long as it is used in a standard manner, will not produce environmental substances in the future. Butadiene - styrene emulsion is made by polymerization of butadiene and styrene. This environment-friendly styrene butadiene latex is not only qualified, but also the reaction process is carried out in a precisely controlled reactor. The aim is to meet national standards.
