With the development of society, Artificial Turf is more and more widely used, especially Artificial Football Grass, which has a wide variety and wide application. Its powerful functions are recognized by the whole society.
Below is a detailed introduction to the classification and uses of Artificial Turf (specifically for football fields), presented in a clear structure for easy reference:
- I.Classification of Artificial Turf
1. By Fiber Material
Polyethylene (PE)
Features: High softness, strong realism, good weather resistance.
Uses: Suitable for professional football fields and training grounds, providing a feel close to natural grass.
Polypropylene (PP)
Features: Good wear resistance, low cost, but harder texture.
Uses: Commonly used for community fields and school playgrounds.
Nylon (PA)
Features: Best elasticity, strong durability, but high cost.
Uses: High-end football fields or venues with extremely high performance requirements.
2. By Fiber Shape
Monofilament Fiber
Features: Single-strand structure, high realism, strong wear resistance.
Mesh Fiber
Features: Interwoven mesh structure, strong durability, low cost.
Uses: School playgrounds and community fields with high-frequency use.
Curved Fiber
Features: Curved strands, excellent resilience and cushioning.
Uses: Suitable for fields requiring high cushioning performance (e.g. youth football fields).
3. By Filling Method
Filled Artificial Turf
Features: Rubber granules and quartz sand are filled between fibers, providing good cushioning and reducing sports injuries.
Non-Filled Artificial Turf
Features: High fiber density, no filling required, good drainage, easy maintenance.
Uses: Rainy regions or venues with limited budgets.
4. By Pile Height and Density
Pile Height:
Short Pile(20-30mm): Suitable for high-frequency training grounds.
Medium Pile(30-50mm): Suitable for professional football fields.
Long Pile(above 50mm): Rarely used for football fields, mostly for landscaping.
Density:
Low Density: Low cost, suitable for budget-limited venues.
High Density: High realism, suitable for professional venues.

III.Selection Recommendations
1. Usage Scenarios:
- Professional football fields: Choose high-density monofilament fiber + filled artificial turf.
- Community fields: Choose mesh fiber or non-filled artificial turf.
2. Climate Conditions:
- Rainy regions: Prioritize non-filled artificial turf with good drainage.
- High-temperature regions: Choose PE fibers with high-temperature resistance.
3. Budget:
- Low budget: Polypropylene (PP) mesh fiber.
- High budget: Polyethylene (PE) monofilament fiber + filled design.
IV.Maintenance Tips
1. Routine Cleaning:
- Regularly remove debris (e.g., leaves, trash).
- Use specialized brushes to comb fibers and keep them upright.
2. Filling Management:
- Regularly check the distribution of rubber granules and quartz sand, replenishing as needed.
3. Disinfection:
- Periodically spray disinfectants to prevent bacterial growth.
4. Drainage Inspection:
- Ensure the drainage system is clear to avoid water accumulation.
By scientifically selecting and maintaining Artificial Grass, the lifespan of the field can be extended, while providing a safer and more comfortable environment for athletes.
