The history of artificial grass


After the first third-generation artificial grass has been installed in the Netherlands in 1996. However, the first artificial grass carpet with nylon fibers installed in the stadium in the Houston Astrodome (USA) in the summer of 1966.
First Generation
Synthetic carpet of artificial turf was installed in European 1970. The carpet was composed of polypropylene fibers densely wetkanych. It was cheaper and more comfortable, while causing less risk of injury players. Second generation (Second Generation) in the late 70's, invented the second generation of artificial grass. They were no longer tufts that wtaftowano widely from each other. The grass was blinded with sand, in order to create sufficient stability for the players. Second-generation grass has provided a more flat surface than natural grass game, which gave better control of the ball. It was a great step towards improving the game, especially in hockey. The second generation of artificial grass is less suitable for football.
The behavior of the ball on the playing fields and the possibility of injury to players through the sand abrasion can not be compared to natural grass. However, some clubs have tried to play on these fields in 1980. Third generation (Third Generation) and so in 1996, the third generation was developed, where widely spaced longer fibers are backfilled with sand and rubber granules. The third generation synthetic pitch can not be compared with previous generations. The grass fiber is high 0d 40-70mm, which are further apart (as compared to previous generations). The fibers are made of polypropylene, polyethylene (which is softer and more pleasing to the skin).
A combination of sand but also spammed rubber granules ensures a comfortable surface to play. Technology and the grass hopper allow less stress on the joints players and provide optimal conditions of sport. These changes have led to the discovery of the third generation pitches, perfect for football. IV Generation (Fourth Generation) Continued development of artificial grass based on the experience gained during the installation and use surface allowed the generation of a new type of grass called. The grass of the function fill (sand and granules) was replaced by a dense structure of twisted fiber and monofilament fibers form a pile. Synthetic carpet of artificial turf was installed in European 1970. The carpet was composed of polypropylene fibers densely wetkanych. It was cheaper and more comfortable, while causing less risk of injury players.

Third generation
And so, in 1996, the third generation was developed, where widely spaced longer fibers are inundated with sand and granules provides optimal conditions of sport.
The third generation synthetic pitch can not be compared with previous generations. The grass fiber is high 0d 40-70mm, which are further apart (as compared to previous generations). The fibers are made of polypropylene, polyethylene (which is softer and more pleasing to the skin). A combination of spammed sand and rubber granules provides a comfortable surface to play.

These changes have led to the discovery of the third generation pitches, perfect for football.
Fourth Generation
The continuous development of artificial grass based on the experience gained during the installation and use surface allowed the generation of a new type of grass called. The grass of the function fill (sand and granules) was replaced by a dense structure of twisted fiber and monofilament fibers form a pile.
