Is artificial turf fireproof?

Artificial turf is not only used in football fields, but also widely used in tennis courts, hockey fields, volleyball courts, golf courses and other sports venues, and is widely used in family courtyards, kindergarten construction, municipal greening, highway isolation belts, airport runway areas and other leisure places . Artificial turf is getting closer and closer to people, from sports fields to indoor contact. Therefore, the stability of artificial turf has attracted more and more attention. Among them, the flame retardant performance of artificial turf is an important indicator. After all, the raw material of artificial turf is PE polyethylene. If it does not have flame retardant properties, 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. What is commonly known as “plastic” is a flammable substance. If the artificial turf does not have flame retardant properties, a fire will lead to results that exceed the budget. Therefore, the flame retardant properties of artificial turf become 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 process of grass silk. Use flame retardants to prevent fires. The role of flame retardants is to prevent the spread of flames and the speed of fires. Fire retardants in artificial turf can also help reduce the spread of fires. However, in order to save costs, many artificial turf manufacturers may make incorrect adjustments to the flame retardant ratio. Therefore, when purchasing artificial turf, you must choose a regular artificial turf manufacturer and do not be greedy for cheap.
