MULTI-LAYER INFILL SYSTEM FOR SYNTHETIC GRASS

摘要

A cost-effective synthetic turf system with a plurality of layers of infill material. According to various embodiments, a synthetic turf system includes synthetic grass and a plurality of layers of infill material. In one embodiment, the upper layer of infill particles generally “sit” on top of a lower layer of smaller particles. Because the smaller particles will tend to become more densely packed, the larger particles will tend to remain on top of the smaller particles. In certain embodiments, the upper layer is treated with a light colorant, such as green, yellow, white, etc. Depending on field and environmental conditions, the coloring may reduce surface temperatures by up to 30% compared to conventional infills.

主权项

1. A synthetic grass system comprising:
a backing layer; a plurality of generally upstanding synthetic grass blades affixed to the backing layer; and at least two layers of infill particles generally interspersed amongst the plurality of generally upstanding synthetic grass blades, the at least two layers of infill particles comprising:
an upper layer of particles; anda lower layer of particles, wherein the lower layer of particles are generally smaller in size as compared to the upper layer of particles.
