ARTIFICIAL TURF
WEAR RESISTANCE
Wear Resistance
During the last couple of years the main disadvantage of fibrillated yarn grades became obvious to most experts of artificial turf business. As the fibrillation process causes damage to the yarn (=> fine needles split up the flat tape) an unwanted post-fibrillation will result afterwards. In heavily used parts of the pitch (such as the goal & penalty area) fibrillated pile yarns split up into fine hairy pieces and finally the upper yarn ends will be torn off.
 LenzingGrass monofil yarn grades generate absolutely no post-fibrillation and show hardly any abrasion. The wear resistance of our yarn was determined by an independent test institute performing the Taber test procedure. After 2000 rotations the total loss of weight due to abrasion was only 0.6% of the original sample weight.
Compared to other similar products on the market the a.m. weight loss of our yarn is remarkably low and points to the unique durability of LenzingGrass.
As a matter of fact the deformation of a synthetic turf system after long-time use mainly depends on its basic structure. Pile height, tufting density, yarn strength, as well as kind and volume of infill material influence the final deformation resistance of the turf significantly. The so-called Lisport test is helpful to design the most effective turf system. LenzingGrass offers various yarn grades to prevent such turf deformation for many years.
Environmental Compatibility
All LenzingGrass products are free of cadmium, lead and diarylid pigments or dyestuff. Therefore our various yarn grades are environmentally sound and conform to strictest legal requirements.
Even SBR-filled turf systems tufted with LenzingGrass yarns meet the environmental risk assessment according to the DIN V 18035-7 standard.
