CCGrass Launch New Backing System for Improved Recyclability

November 2017
World leading synthetic turf manufacturer, CCGrass announce the introduction of the
new PRT series backing system.
Around the world, over 1000 artificial turf football pitches are disposed of annually, and
cant be fully recycled due to either latex or PU secondary backing coats. This has seen
many fields go to landfill sites or simply be stored for later disposal an unacceptable
situation for future sustainability.
To address a problem that has vexed companies for so long, world leading synthetic turf
manufacturer, CCGrass, has developed, tested and now introduces a new backing
system into its product range. The PRT series allows customers to install new turf that,
thanks to a specially designed backing material, means the entire carpet is now fully
recyclable.
At the same time, significant improvements in drainage and tuftlock are achieved, whilst
the now lighter rolls are easier to transport and move during installation. A real win, win
product.
PRT stands for Permeable, Recyclable, Tuftlock. With good reason, too.
Permeable -The PRT series has been specially designed with porous backing, allowing
water to drain through the backing evenly and quickly - 5 times faster than previously.
Regular products add drainage holes through the latex or PU coating, and these can
easily become clogged, resulting in poor drainage and eventual infill contamination. The
new PRT series also prohibits weeds growing through the back and infill seeping
through drainage holes.
Recyclable The entire turf roll, including fibres and PRT series backing can be easily
lifted at end of life before being fully recycled.
Tuftlock - Special techniques, employed in the production of the PRT series backing,
ensure individual tufts bond better, creating improved tuftlock. As a result, the PRT
series is particularly suitable for intensive use, whilst also keeping its good looks for
longer.
Dr. Zhao Chungui, Director of R&D at CCGrass explains: The advantages of the new
type of turf can be found across its lifetime. Long before it is recycled easily and safely, the
new lighter PRT series products offer easier and more cost-effective transportation and
installation, and then other benefits, such as improved porosity and stronger tuft lock kick
in.
