What was only supposed to be used as a way to improve and increase youth’s physical fitness in the 1960s has sprouted into an entire industry! The incredible industry we know today as the synthetic grass industry. The “chemgrass” installed at Moses Brown eventually became known as the all popular “Astroturf.”
When it comes to artificial grass, it’s all in the plastic. This includes the intricate combination of white plastic pellets and green plastic pellets that hold the colors, U.V. stabilizers, and additives. This creates the nice green colored grass you typically think of when artificial grass comes to mind. There are, however, other colors that have been developed, which have added a vibrant and unique touch to different types of spaces. These colors stay true over the years due to U.V. inhibitors that are built into the grass.
