ARTIFICIAL TURF COMPRISING AN ACGLOMERATE OF A FILLER ELEMENT

Abstract

The invention relates to an artificial turf surface (100, 200) comprising an artificial turf mat (102) with a pile (104), the artificial turf mat comprising a backing (106). The artificial turf mat further comprises artificial turf fibers (108). The artificial turf fibers are tufted (110) within the backing. The artificial turf fibers form the pile. The artificial turf fibers are fixed to the backing. The artificial turf surface further comprises an artificial turf infill (114) distributed within the pile, the artificial turf infill comprising irregularly shaped grains (116), the grains comprising an agglomerate comprising at least one type of non-elastomeric thermoplastic. At least a portion of the grains have fibrous extensions (302).<!--endfragment-->
