Artificial Grass Pavigreen: Fiber Types
1. Polyethylene (PE)
This is a synthetic yarn fiber made from olefins and was developed to be used for Pavigreen's artificial grass surfaces. Soft and resilient, PE fibers are commonly used for lawn, landscape, chipping and tee lines projects. Most materials are tufted into porous backings. They dry very fast, are resistant to stains, mold, mildew, UV and high traffic, when properly installed, groomed and maintained. Many PE landscape, chipping and tee grass materials are now available in either slit film or monofilament fibers; from 1 to over 2 inches in height.
2. Nylon (PA)
The first olefin fiber to be developed in the 1930s, and is most often used for putting green, chipping or field hockey surfaces. Nylon fibers are typically texturized and densely woven into nonpermeable backing materials. Emerging styles include blades from 3/8 inch to over 2.5 inches and colors range from lite green to a richer, field green.
3. Polypropylene (PP)
