What factors are related to the longevity of artificial turf?

The longevity of Artificial Turf has long been a concern. After all, artificial turf is mainly used in outdoor situations, such as artificial turf football fields, artificial turf football fields, artificial turf baseball fields, etc. Prolonged sun, rain and trampling can shorten the life of artificial turf, and artificial turf will continue to age. So how do you tell if artificial turf is aging?
1. Over time, the filling layer will sink and the particles will sink and compress into a thicker layer. This wear and tear process can be minimized with proper maintenance. The rubber itself hardens over time, which can seriously reduce the athletic performance of artificial turf.
2. The grass fibers of artificial turf will be crushed or broken down during use, greatly reducing the height and density of the grass.
3. Foundation deformation. Generally, the foundation of a professional Football Field is made of cement or asphalt. According to the professional level of the laying will not occur deformation, but due to poor materials and other factors, the foundation will be deformed.
4. Loose artificial turf seams, especially in areas with bad weather. This situation is more serious, will make the seam between the lawn more and more loose, even eventually will crack.
In addition to artificial turf aging will directly affect the service life of artificial turf, there are artificial turf quality issues. Why do some fields have longer artificial turf than others, given the same areas, the same frequency of use and the same infrastructure? It has to do with the quality of the artificial turf. Just like shopping for clothes, good quality is not only comfortable to wear, but also long-lasting. The quality of artificial turf directly affects its service life.
In addition, the intensity of solar radiation and the intensity of use are also major factors, which is the reason for the different service life of artificial turf in different areas. Under normal service conditions, artificial turf has a service life of 6-8 years, which varies depending on the conditions of use.
