It's ground up tires.
The tires go through steps to remove metal, grind and clean the rubber. It is transported in 4 foot square sacks on pallets and racked into the artificial turf.
This black rubber can get a little hot in the sun, but it is a safer surface than sand filled fields in general and don't get much harder over time.
If you have more insight onto Artificial Turf fields, lay it on me.
Gotta tell you, this blog has some technical information that is so cool.
ReplyDeleteI love the way artificial turf looks, but can't seem to get the 'fake' out of my mind enough to own it.
Take care,
