Synthetic grass for sports

With a focus on total customer satisfaction and following the highest quality standards, TurfSoccer rapidly became established as the # 1 in manufacturing synthetic grass in China, with coverage all over the world.

In 1965 he installed the first synthetic grass for sports in the Houston Astrodome, Texas. From this date, the use of this coating began to be popular in football stadiums and baseball roofing, which did not permit the transmission of sunlight into the field and therefore the growth of natural grass. This type of synthetic grass was manufactured with Nylon fibers, which were characterized by low rise and very abrasive to sweeps.

Later in the 70's, Europe incorporated pastures "first generation", which were made of polypropylene fibers, tissues closed with stitches very low rise. They were characterized by being cheaper, soft, comfortable and less risk of injury.

In the late 70's, there are pastures "second generation", which is characterized by having a little more height, stitches farther apart and a gauge (gauge) more open. The height allowed to have filled with silica sand and was successful mainly hockey courts, however, caused injuries so abrasive swept polypropylene and silica sand.

During early 1990, due to the advancement of industry and technology advances, synthetic grasses emerged "third generation", which would be made of polyethylene fibers and heights of up to 60 millimeters.

The polyethylene helped remove all the defects of previous pastures, as this new generation offers greater softness and allows the application of silica sand and rubber granules, creating a comfortable playing surface and minimizing the risk of injury during the sweeps.

In recent years, new technologies were sought which would allow the production of synthetic grass that did not require aggregate to maintain its vertical fibers. This is how new ornamental grasses emerge.
