SYNTHETIC TURF TECHNOLOGY
Simulated Wear and Abrasion Resistance
The surface is artificially abraded (simulation of multiple years of wear) and tested for the following: Shock Absorption, Vertical Deformation, Vertical Ball Rebound, and Rotational Resistance.
“Artificial turf is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look like natural grass. It is most often used in arenas for sports that were originally or are normally played on grass. However, it is now being used on residential lawns and commercial applications as well. The main reason is maintenance—artificial turf stands up to heavy use, such as in sports, and requires no irrigation or trimming. Domed, covered, and partially covered stadiums may require artificial turf because of the difficulty of getting grass enough sunlight to stay healthy.” *
Testings are done by certified laboratories specializing in artificial Turf . This enables to reduce a foreseeable risk, while helping to provide a safer environment. The testing program is committed to providing safer, well-maintained athletic fields and other surfaces. Also perform in-house and on-site "drill tests" on all products. Tests simulate years of use of the turf field by using an electric powered steel brush on the product.
The technology wanted to prove with below tests:
- MAXIMUM DURABILITY
- MULTI-DIRECTIONAL
-
AESTHETICS
- NO-SHINE YARNS
Joint Strength
Measures the maximum force recorded to destroy the joints where they are sewn or adhered with adhesive.
Traction
Measures the interaction between the shoe sole and the synthetic surface relating to the ability of a player to change direction.
Durability
Climatic Resistance
UV / Water / Heat - Measures the colour change, abrasion resistance and joint strength.
Shock Absorption
Measures the impact absorption provided by synthetic turf
to a player running or falling on.
Vertical Deformation
Measures the stability of the synthetic grass surface as a player runs across it.
Player / Surface Interaction
Rotational Resistance
Measures the interaction between the shoe sole and the
surface of artificial grass relating to the ability of a player
to change direction.
Slip Resistance Scale and Deceleration
Measures the ability of studs to slide through the surface without causing the player to slip over. Slip resistance deceleration measures the deceleration experienced by the players shoe as it makes contact with the surface. If the deceleration is too high, damages to joints and ligaments may occur.
Skin Abrasion/ Skin Friction
Measures the abrasiveness and friction of artificial turf
on the skin of the player when sliding.The higher the recorded coefficient of friction the greater is the potential that a skin burn will occur.
Vertical Ball Rebound
Measures how high the ball bounces when falling vertically
onto a synthetic turf field.
Ball / Surface Interaction
Ball Roll
Measures how far the ball rolls onto synthetic grass
compared to natural grass.
Angled Ball Behavior
Measures how the ball rebounds from an artificial turf surface when striking it at a shallow angle under dry and wet conditions.
Friction change
Measures the abrasiveness of the artificial field turf surface to the players skin
