Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to artificial turf, and more particularly to an artificial turf that is fully recyclable, as well as to a production method for manufacturing such an artificial turf. According to a first aspect of the present description, artificial turf is provided arranged for use as a sports field. The artificial turf comprises at least a substrate, artificial turf fibers and a coating, wherein at least first artificial turf fibers are attached to the substrate, and wherein the substrate is further provided with the coating for providing a tuft withdrawal force of the first artificial turf fibers of at least 30 Newtons. The first artificial turf fibers are made of polyester and/or co-polyester, and the coating is a polyether sulfone adhesive for completely recycling the artificial turf into polyester granules.
