A new polymer formulation for artificial turf carpet fibers with higher resilience and shape retention/shape memory
First generation artificial turf was made of polyamide (nylon) and showed great resilience and toughness, but was very abrasive.
Existing turf carpet fibers are made from low density and linear low density polyethylene (LDPE & LLDPE) due to their soft touch and feel, as well as UV resistance, but are not as durable or resilient as the older polyamide fibers.
Formulation properties can be conveyed by the polymer blend or by other additives to the components.
