Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyethylene backing layer for an artificial turf substrate consisting essentially of highly oriented, high density polyethylene filaments forming warp and weft threads, the high density polyethylene filaments having a density of at least 945 kg/m3 and a melt flow index of maximum 2 g/10 min. The invention further relates to filaments for making such a backing layer, a method for producing such filaments and an artificial turf substrate including such a backing layer.

Abstract: A modular structure for installing an artificial playing field comprising: a stabilizing layer forming a plurality of compartments for receiving a granular infill; a separation layer for location over the stabilizing layer to retain the infill; a water distributing layer; and an artificial turf layer. The claimed construction allows a stable base layer to be formed using virtually any locally available granular material such as earth, gravel, lava, rock and the like. The compartments ensure that the granular material is held in place and cannot be displaced due to loading or washed away due to rain or flooding.
