Today, due to the difficult maintenance conditions of natural grass and the initial cost of building these grasses, artificial grasses are used in different places, which are both durable and cheaper. Now, to increase the life and strength of artificial grass, some grass fillers such as silica sand and rubber granules are used.
Rubber granules are actually produced by recycling petroleum tires and crushing them. Artificial grass rubber granules are crushed in sizes of 3 to 5 mm and are suitable for injecting into sports artificial grass. These rubber shards or the same black granule seeds that you see in artificial grass during soccer for more strength of the fibers and creating a state Softness and elasticity are used in artificial grass. In fact, the quality of a football field depends on the type and amount of granule used.
The standard use of grass granules in a sports field will increase the shockability and flexibility of the sports field. This product is environmentally friendly. and will not pollute the environment. There are grass granules of different qualities in the market. The best quality of this product is without thread, wire and soot, which will increase the maximum elasticity of the earth. If there are wires or threads in the product, there is a possibility of damage to the threads of artificial grass and even sports.
Applications of rubber granules
Rubber granules are not only for use on the sports field as a bulking agent. This product can be used in the production of sports granules flooring, filling hard surfaces. Even in many tennis and padel artificial grass fields, this product has been used.
Rubber granules are crushed and recycled in different sizes, which have the terms of light granules, semi-light granules and heavy granules. . Grass granule is a semi-light model of the product. This product is made of rubber and rubber oil waste and recycled plastics, which can be produced in different colors such as green, yellow, red, orange and black.
The benefits of injections of rubber granules in between artificial grass fibers
🔰filler and complementing the density of artificial grass
🔰 increasing the strength of sports and decorative artificial grass
🔰 increasing the shockability of artificial sports grass
🔰 reducing the possibility of an athlete being injured on artificial grass
🔰Decreasing the temperature of artificial grass
🔰Increasing the useful life of artificial grass
Rubber granules have many advantages for artificial grass and athletes. This product is used as a filler for the empty spaces of artificial grass and increases the stability of artificial grass threads. In the surveys, it has been found that the grasses that have been injected with granules have lasted longer. Because the artificial grass is not imposed on the grass threads due to high activity and foot stomping, all the weight of the people is not imposed on the grass threads and most of the weight is placed on the rubber granule. Football has increased the flexibility of the artificial grass, which increases the impact of the grass and reduces the injuries of the athletes. A suitable filler for artificial grass is a boundary between the surface of the artificial grass and the ground, which increases flexibility. During tackles on artificial grass, most of the pressure is on these granules, so damage to artificial grass threads is prevented.
The presence of silica and granules in the grass (filling material of artificial grass) causes it to absorb more sunlight, which causes the temperature of artificial grass threads to decrease. Sports fields without fillers have extremely high temperatures in the hot seasons of the year and it is not possible to walk or touch the grass thread. can be used in a sports field. The best model of these granules is the green type, which forms a uniform color with artificial grass. But they cost more than black and are rarer. Of course, rubber granules can also have disadvantages. The most important one is the contamination and blackening of the artificial grass. These colored rubbers, due to foot pounding and heavy impact, return their black color and cause blackening of the ground and sportsman's clothes.
