Definitions

  • the present invention relates to artificial turf according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such artificial turf is known from documents WO2016024044A1 , WO2006075241A1 , EP2664711A1 , WO2012076864A1 , US2007237921A1 or EP2894256A1 .
  • Artificial turf is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look like natural grass. It is often used as a sportsfield, a playground, a residential lawn or for landscaping purposes.
  • the high-end qualities come in different forms, depending on the use of the mats.
  • the mats are configured to provide sufficient comfort (shock-absorption), resiliency and elasticity (e.g. for good ball bouncing effect), and may comprise infills.
  • Professional sports-turf is moreover bound to specific requirements, set by sports federations such as FIFA. For residential lawns and landscape, the requirements are somewhat different, with the biggest requirement that they look like natural grass. Despite the many efforts to make artificial turf look more natural, there is still a need for further improvement.
  • the present invention relates to artificial turf having the features of claim 1.
  • Artificial turf according to the present invention comprises a backing.
  • the term "backing” as used herein refers to a substrate, preferably a thermoplastic substrate, which can be woven or nonwoven.
  • the backing has an upper and a lower surface, and the backing is configured for supporting synthetic grass fibers.
  • synthetic grass fibers refers to elongated objects which are attached to the backing. When attached to the backing, the synthetic grass fibers protrude from the upper surface of the backing, and form the grass surface.
  • Synthetic grass fibers include synthetic extruded fibers (monofilaments) and (slit-film) tapes.
  • the artificial fibers are arranged in bundles, preferably in bundles of monofilaments.
  • the synthetic grass fibers preferably have a dtex from 250-2500, and one bundle may contain 4 to 20 fibers.
  • the synthetic grass fibers are manufactured from materials chosen from the list comprising polypropylene (PP); any variant of polyethylene (PE) including low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), and high density polyethylene (HDPE)); polyester (PET); and polyamide (PA).
  • PP polypropylene
  • PE polyethylene
  • LLDPE low density polyethylene
  • LLDPE linear low density polyethylene
  • HDPE high density polyethylene
  • PET polyester
  • PA polyamide
  • the synthetic grass fibers are manufactured from LLDPE to provide more softness and improved resiliency.
  • the synthetic grass fibers used in the artificial turf of the present invention may further comprise additives selected from, but not limited to, the group of infrared reflectants, UV stabilisers, fire-retardants, matting agents, luminescent compounds (phosphorescent or fluorescent compounds), fillers (e.g. chalk, talk).
  • additives selected from, but not limited to, the group of infrared reflectants, UV stabilisers, fire-retardants, matting agents, luminescent compounds (phosphorescent or fluorescent compounds), fillers (e.g. chalk, talk).
  • the synthetic grass fibers may have a cross-section selected from, but not limited to, a rectangular, a diamond-shape, a round, an elliptical, a multilobal (Y, X), a C-shaped, a V-shaped, a W-shaped, a S-shaped or a ⁇ -shaped cross-section, and have dimensions of e.g. 50-500 ⁇ m thickness and 0.5-5.0 mm width.
  • the synthetic grass fibers may further comprise a backbone nerve, and/or a micro-textured surface to resemble grass blade nerves to further improve the resemblance to natural grass blades.
  • the synthetic grass fibers are typically in a green colour e.g. a uni-colour or a mixed shade of green and other colours.
  • the synthetic grass fibers may be tufted or woven through the backing. Preferably, the fibers are tufted through the backing. In some embodiments, the synthetic grass fibers may be formed in loop piles or cut piles. The synthetic grass fibers are preferably arranged in bundles of fibers. Typically, 6-10 and preferably 8 monofilaments are present per bundle.
  • the artificial turf of the present invention comprises first and second synthetic grass fibers which are attached to, and extend upward from the upper surface of the backing.
  • the height of the plurality of first synthetic grass fibers is higher than the height of the plurality of second synthetic grass fibers.
  • the average difference between the height of the plurality of first and second synthetic grass fibers is at least 6 mm, in some embodiments at least 10 mm, but typically less than 20 mm (but greater height differences are not excluded).
  • the first synthetic grass fibers preferably have a height from 20 mm to 80 mm.
  • the height of the second synthetic grass fibers is preferably from 10 mm to 70 mm. The height is determined from the upper surface of the backing to the top of the extended fibers, in a normal state of the turf. As there may be some variation in height between individual fibers, the height of the first and second synthetic grass fibers can be determined by taking the average height of 10 of each of the first and second fibers of the turf.
  • first and second artificial fibers are possible, some of which are described hereinafter.
  • the artificial turf is a high-pile turf and comprises first artificial fibers having a height from 35 mm to 80 mm, and second artificial fibers having a height from 25 mm to 65 mm.
  • the difference in height between first and second synthetic grass fibers is at least 6 mm, but is preferably at least 10 mm.
  • the artificial turf is a low-to-mid pile turf and comprises first artificial fibers having a height from 20 mm to 40 mm, and wherein the second artificial fibers have a height from 10 mm to 34 mm.
  • the difference in height between first and second synthetic grass fibers is at least 6 mm, and for a low-to-mid pile turf the difference in height is preferably not more than 10 mm.
  • the artificial turf has first artificial fibers and second artificial fibers having a more extreme height difference.
  • first artificial fibers may have a height from 50-80mm or even 60-80mm, while the second artificial fibers have a height from 10-30mm, or even 10-20mm.
  • the artificial turf may further comprise a plurality of third, or even fourth, synthetic grass fibers, wherein the height of the plurality of third and/or fourth synthetic grass fibers lies in-between the heights of the first and second synthetic grass fibers.
  • the use of third and/or fourth synthetic grass fibers would further improve the natural look of the artificial grass.
  • the third and fourth synthetic grass fibers may have an average height difference versus the first and second synthetic grass fibers, respectively, of 3-10 mm.
  • the higher, first (and optional third) synthetic grass fibers are preferably monofilaments as these are most prominently visible and more resemble real grass blades. This may be less of importance for the lower, second (and optional fourth) synthetic grass fibers as these are less visible to the human eye.
  • the selection of the lower synthetic grass fibers may further depend on other aspects, such as providing support to the higher artificial grass fibers. However, in a highly preferred embodiment, all synthetic grass fibers of the artificial turf of the present invention are monofilaments.
  • At least the first (and optional third) synthetic grass fibers, and more preferably all synthetic grass fibers of the artificial turf of the present invention are upright-oriented cut-pile fibers.
  • the synthetic grass fibers are arranged in bundles of synthetic grass fibers.
  • the first, second and optional third or fourth, synthetic grass fibers may be the same in composition, shape, cross-section, resiliency, colour, and/or colour hue.
  • the various first, second, and optional third and fourth synthetic grass fibers may be different in composition, shape, cross-section, resiliency, colour, and/or colour hue.
  • fibers with different properties may be combined.
  • synthetic grass fibers with a different composition, cross-section, colour and/or colour hue are present in a given bundle of fibers.
  • the synthetic grass fibers may be totally randomized within a given bundle of fibers.
  • synthetic grass fibers may be used which have an irregularly-shaped cross-section along their length, as described in co-pending European patent application n° 15202837.9 , entitled "Artificial Turf Monofilaments".
  • variations between the high (first and optionally third) and the low (second and optionally fourth) artificial grass fibers may be present:
  • the synthetic grass fibers are arranged as bundles of fibers.
  • the first, second, and optional third or fourth, synthetic grass fibers are arranged in separate rows.
  • a separate bar is used with x number of positions along the width of the turf, to insert the fibers through the backing.
  • the respective bars and thus the resulting rows of fibers are perpendicular to the machine direction.
  • rows of first (high "H”) artificial fibers are alternated with rows of second (low “L”) synthetic grass fibers. This leads to a LHLHLHLH... arrangement.
  • the rows of first and second synthetic grass fibers are arranged in a more random pattern, to further improve the natural look of the artificial turf.
  • rows of first and second synthetic grass fibers are arranged in a random pattern, with the provision that a row of first synthetic fibers is present after not more than 3 rows of second synthetic grass fibers.
  • the distance between fibers or between bundles of fibers in a given row is from 6-32, preferably from 10-18, per 10cm.
  • the distance between consecutive rows of fibers is preferably 3 ⁇ 4, 3/8, 3/16 or 5/16 inch.
  • the first synthetic grass fibers are randomly tufted across the artificial turf.
  • an artificial turf is created with alternating areas of dark and light green fibers, as is typically present on sports fields. This can be effected by tufting rows of dark green first grass synthetic fibers, alternated with rows of lighter green synthetic grass fibers.
  • the artificial turf of the present invention comprises thatch yarns, which extend upward from the upper surface of the backing.
  • Thatch yarns are made of monofilaments or slit film tapes which have been textured (curled), and simulate grass roots or moss.
  • Thatch yarns are inserted together with other fibers in a given bundle of fibers. As such, they are not present as separate rows between the rows of synthetic grass fibers.
  • the thatch yarns are incorporated in the bundles of the lowest synthetic grass fibers, i.e. the bundles of second synthetic grass fibers.
  • thatch yarns are inserted in random bundles of synthetic grass fibers, or only in certain areas of the turf
  • the artificial turf of the present invention is provided on a roll for installation.
  • the width of the artificial turf is from at least 2 m to at most 4 m and the length of the artificial turf is from at least 10 m to at most 30 m.
  • the artificial turf may be provided in the form of tiles for installation, which may comprise interlocking pieces.
  • the interlocking means may be part of a backing onto which the artificial turf is attached.
  • the artificial turf may further comprise additional backing layers (attached to the lower surface of the backing, to protect the synthetic grass fiber attachments) and/or a cushioning layer for improved walking comfort.
  • the backing and additional backing layers may be translucent or transparent, and may be combined with one or more light sources which may be integrated in-between backing layers or positioned underneath the backing layers. This would allow to create artificial turf which during the day would resemble real grass, but also allow aesthetic creations at night using light.
  • the artificial grass of the present invention is preferably used for residential lawn or landscaping purposes. However, other uses such as sportsfields and playgrounds may also be possible.
  • Artificial turfs according to the present invention are made according to the following parameters: Fibers are tufted through a polypropylene woven backing and finished at the back side with a black latex to protect the tufts.
  • Example 1 Example 2
  • Example 3 Height first artificial grass fiber 31 mm 35 mm 40 mm Height second artificial grass fibers 18 mm 23 mm 28 mm Height thatch yarns 15 mm 18 mm 24 mm
  • First artificial grass fibers Second artificial grass fibers Thatch yarns material LLDPE LLDPE LLDPE cross-section diamond shape diamond shape rectangular shape colour Lime green Olive green Beige/Brown dtex 875 1050 625
  • Rows of first artificial fibers are alternated with rows of second artificial fibers with a gauge of 3/16".
  • fibers are arranged in bundles of fibers with 8 monofilaments per bundle and 120 stitches per 10 cm.
