At RHB Grass artificial grass product informations, we take pride in our synthetic grass production process, from selecting the best raw materials to the final manufacturing stages. Whether you’re a turf enthusiast or just seeking information to make an informed choice, we’re here to guide you through the process of creating premium synthetic grass.
The synthetic turf you see today has a rich history, but our focus is on the modern techniques that ensure the highest quality and performance.
Key Components of Synthetic Grass Installation
Synthetic grass is composed of several essential elements: the backing cloth, synthetic fibers, and a latex or polyurethane coating. It is then installed using pegs, nails, or adhesive tapes, depending on the application.
- Backing: The backing provides structure and holds everything together. A high-quality backing is crucial for the longevity and performance of the grass. Different applications, like sports fields, require highly durable backings that can withstand heavy use.
- Joining Tape & Glue: Grass rolls, typically 2-4 meters wide, need to be joined with appropriate tape and glue. In high-traffic areas like sports fields, robust materials ensure the seams remain undetectable and secure.
- Turf Pegs: Used in landscape installations, pegs prevent the turf from lifting or curling, keeping everything firmly in place.
- Yarns/Synthetic Fibers: The visible part of the grass, synthetic fibers vary in color, performance, and design. High-quality resins and UV additives ensure durability, making yarns a key component of the overall system.
The Manufacturing Process
Creating Synthetic Turf Fibers
Our synthetic turf fibers are made from polymers like polypropylene, polyethylene, or nylon, depending on the turf’s intended use. The polymers are melted, shaped, and extruded into strands that resemble natural grass. During this process, pigments and UV additives are incorporated to enhance longevity and color vibrancy.
Once extruded, the fibers are spooled and transported for tufting.
Why Backing Matters
The type of backing varies based on the application. For instance, landscape grass is typically weighted down with sand, while sports turfs must rely on high-quality backings that endure significant stress without expansion or contraction.
A durable backing ensures strong tuft locks, preventing yarn loss over time. At RHB Grass, we offer a range of backings, including plain, fleeced, and woven options, each designed to meet specific requirements.
Weaving and Tufting
Our synthetic grass fibers are traditionally tufted onto the backing. However, for high-performance sports fields, we use advanced weaving technology. Woven products offer a more realistic surface and improved ball play, making them ideal for professional applications.
Quality Control and Testing
Our products undergo rigorous quality control checks during production, ensuring each component is perfect. We verify:
- Correct yarn and backing materials
- Proper pile height and stitch rate
- Consistency in dye lots
- Adequate latex or polyurethane application
- Proper tuft lock and filament bind
- Compliance with sports field standards for markings and logos
Additionally, we ensure that all products are wrapped with UV-protective materials to preserve quality until installation.
The RHB Grass Commitment
Creating top-quality synthetic grass requires a careful balance of materials and processes. At RHB Grass, we prioritize this balance to ensure our turf not only meets but exceeds industry standards. The performance and durability of our grass depend on the seamless integration of every component, from yarn to backing to installation techniques.
We believe in variety, ensuring each product is designed with precision to meet specific needs.
