Nylon Products & Reflective Light Damage
Helping reduce reflective light damage
At STR, we strive to provide high-quality turf solutions for a variety of applications. Understanding the properties of our turf products, particularly regarding their resistance to melting and reflective light damage, is essential for ensuring optimal performance and customer satisfaction.
The science behind the turf
Understanding Light Damage
Planning and Prevention
When installing turf near reflective surfaces, plan carefully. Consider using nylon turf in high-reflection areas to mitigate potential damage.Â
Identify Potential Sources: During installation, identify potential sources of reflective light.
Proactive Solutions: Suggest moving reflective objects, using window films, or buffing reflective surfaces to reduce their impact.
Education: Ensure customers are aware of the potential for reflective light damage and how to mitigate it.
The compounds behind the turf
Understanding the Language
A tough, light, flexible synthetic resin made by polymerizing ethylene, chiefly used for plastic bags, food containers, and other packaging.
Polypropylene
A synthetic resin that is a polymer of propylene, used especially for ropes, fabrics, and molded objects. (Adds durability)
Nylon
A tough, lightweight, elastic synthetic polymer with a protein-like chemical structure, able to be produced as filaments, sheets, or molded objects.
Measuring the durability
Melting Points and Reflective Damage
All of the polymers that are used in manufacturing turf are environmentally safe. By understanding the properties of our turf products and the impact of reflective light, you can make informed decisions to ensure the longevity and performance of your installations. We are committed to providing the best solutions and support for your turf needs.
Polyethylene: 248°F (120°C)
Polypropylene: 320°F (160°C)
Nylon: 428°F (220°C)
