Flame Retardancy Of Artificial Turf!

With the widespread popularization, application and promotion of artificial turf in the market, it has not only been used in football, rugby, tennis, hockey and other sports venues, but also widely used in kindergarten construction, municipal greening, family courtyard and other leisure places. Its application scope also extends from outdoor sports grounds to indoor leisure places, so its safety performance has been paid more and more attention.
The main raw materials of artificial turf are mainly polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). The molecular chain contains carbon and hydrogen. It is a flammable substance, which is easy to cause fire under high temperature, heat and discharge. Nowadays, many artificial lawns are used in decoration and leisure places. They are close to people and have certain potential safety hazards. Therefore, flame retardancy has become an important safety indicator of artificial lawns.
The purpose of the so-called flame retardancy is to effectively prevent the spread of fire and reduce the speed of fire after the artificial turf is burned, so as to prevent the whole artificial turf from being ignited in a large area. In order to achieve the flame retardancy of artificial turf, flame retardants are usually added in the production of straw silk. So what is fire retardant? Flame retardant is a chemical additive that can improve the combustion performance of materials, and can effectively reduce the potential fire safety hazards, so as to ensure the safety of people's lives and property in daily life, and also prevent fire. Generally, the addition amount should be controlled between 10% and 20%. Because the flame retardant itself has non-toxic and harmless environmental protection performance and good compatibility, and can be evenly dispersed in the artificial grass yarn, the addition of flame retardant in the production of straw yarn will not have a negative impact on other characteristics of artificial turf and product quality.
