Artificial turf is not only used in football fields, but also widely used in sports venues such as football fields, tennis courts, hockey fields, volleyball courts, golf courses, and is widely used in leisure places such as home courtyards, kindergarten construction, municipal greening, highway isolation belts, and airport runway auxiliary areas. Let’s take a look at whether artificial turf is fireproof.
Artificial turf is getting closer and closer to people, from sports venues to indoor contact. Therefore, the stability of artificial turf is increasingly valued by people, among which the flame retardant performance of artificial turf is a very important indicator. After all, the raw material of artificial turf is PE polyethylene. If there is no flame retardant performance, the consequences of a fire will be disastrous. So can artificial turf really play a role in fire prevention?
The main raw materials of artificial turf yarn are polyethylene, polypropylene and nylon. As we all know, “plastic” is a flammable substance. If the artificial turf does not have flame retardant properties, a fire will result in an over-budget result, so the flame retardant performance of artificial turf becomes an important factor affecting the stability of artificial turf. Flame retardancy means that artificial turf can burn on its own without burning the entire lawn.
The principle of flame retardancy is actually to add flame retardants during the production of grass yarn. Flame retardants are used to prevent fires, but later developed into a stability problem for artificial turf. The role of flame retardants is to prevent the spread of flames and reduce the speed of fire. Adding flame retardants to artificial turf can also help prevent the spread of fire. However, many artificial turf manufacturers do not add flame retardants in order to save costs, causing artificial turf to threaten human life, which is also a hidden danger of artificial turf. Therefore, when purchasing artificial turf, you should choose a regular artificial turf manufacturer and don’t be greedy for cheapness.
