Everyone knows that Synthetic grass is an excellent option to natural grass as it is more practical, durable and has a wide range of applications, such as sporting environments, playgrounds e indoor and outdoor gardens, and can even be installed in places where natural grass cannot grow. However, do you know how it was invented? Check out this curiosity!

Origin of the 1960s
A artificial turf It began to be manufactured in the 1960s, through an initiative by the Chemstrand Company (which later came to be called Têxtil Monsanto), in the United States.

The manufacturing process of Synthetic grass It is very similar to the methods used in the carpet industry, and since it began to be manufactured it has been gradually improved, making the product present the most natural characteristics possible, as well as being more resistant, through new materials selected for manufacturing.

Currently, the Synthetic grass goes through several chemical treatments, which guarantee great resistance to ultraviolet rays and intense use, in addition to being less abrasive, with a texture increasingly similar to natural grass.

Materials used in the manufacture of synthetic grassFootball field with artificial grass

The quality of the materials is a determining factor for synthetic grass to achieve high performance and durability. Normally, synthetic grass uses polyester fiber filaments at its base (which is in contact with the ground), a highly resistant material. Grass blades, in general, are made of nylon or polypropylene and cut into strips using a rounded mold. This material can also be extruded, which results in blades (grass) that are more similar to biological grass.

Modern cushioning systems and careful finishing

The synthetic grass cushioning system is generally made from rubber compounds or polyester foam. In some cases, rubber granules are used. Furthermore, the thread that sews the panels of the upper fabrics is subjected to rigorous resistance criteria, as well as the adhesive that will have the function of joining all the layers of the fabric. artificial grass.
