As we all know, the materials for artificial grass fibers are PP or PE, which is a kind of plastic. If they are not qualified, the fibers will be easy with the color fading and severely shedding problems, especially when exposed under the sunshine (UV).

The main reasons for artificial grass UV breakdown are:
A. Using recycled materials
B. Using unqualified anti-UV additive
C. adding no enough anti-UV additive
D. Anti-UV additive separated out when cooling the fibers in the fiber extruding production process, which lead to no enough anti-UV additive element in the fibers.
Either of these factors can cause artificial grass UV breakdown. Every year we hear much bad news caused by the UV breakdown in the artificial grass market. Some importing companies were even bankrupt because of this.
The tuft bind is the measure of force it takes to pull a blade of artificial grass through the backing system. It refers to how strong the turf glues holding the fibers onto its backing. Not enough glue, poor quality glue or not dry the backing sufficiently after coating can cause poor turf bind. With poor turf bind, the fibers can be easily pulled out and easily shed by the force of friction when playing on it.
Color stripes on artificial grass surfaces cause faults in the aesthetics of the placed grass. There are mainly two reasons caused this problem：
A. Did not mixing raw materials sufficiently, which makes the color masterbatch distributed unevenly, which will lead to the color difference of the fibers.
B. In the production process, the straight fibers are not fixed sufficiently. In that case, the straight fibers will lay different directions after installation.
C. For landscaping grass, an inconsistent shrink of the thatch fibers will cause color stripes.
One of the most important reasons for customers to install artificial grass is aesthetics. However, if with color stripes, the artificial grass surface will not look beautiful as it should be.
Another factor to affect the aesthetics of landscaping grass is the improper shrink rate of the thatch fibers. The shrink rate is decided by the coating temperature and how long it's been coated during the production. The normal thatch yarn shrink rate for landscaping grass is around 30%-50%.
One of the most serious problems for artificial grass is backing off the slags and rupture. This kind of artificial grass is of very poor quality and with no warranty. The reasons that cause this problem is:
A. The fineness (mesh) of Calcium carbonate is not enough or add too much Calcium carbonate.
B. Poor quality Latex.
C. The temperature for drying backing after the coating is too high or too low.
A. Cross stitches with catastrophic damage.
When in the turfing production process, if the PP cloth is folded accidentally, there will missing some stitches that can not be tufted. And this kind of missing is not easy to be repaired. Generally, this kind of missing will be repaired by hand. If repaired by not skilled workers, the artificial grass will be like this as enclosed pictures.
B.Stains on the artificial grass fibers.
Stains on the fiber make the impossible sale of the product. As showed on the pictures, the fibers are contaminated by machine oil or SBR latex.

We know that these kinds of problems are so annoying. Even a small area of the artificial grass has these defectives, the whole roll will be affected. When installed, you have to cut these areas off and joint the fine pieces together, which will increase your costs.
These defectives mainly appear in high density or high Dtex artificial grass. Patches are the marks of repairing holes caused by the PP cloth broken when turfing.
Sometimes you need the grass edges to be cut. But it is generally can not be cut perfectly as a line because it is done by hand. Thhat wavy cuts complicate the application of artificial grass.
"Why the mass production artificial grass I received is thinner than the samples that the supplier sent to me?"
"Why this grass pile height is about 2mm shorter than I request"
"Why the stitches are less than I request in the order?"
"Why the artificial grass size per roll is smaller than I request? The width and length are both not reach my requirements"
"Why my supplier cheating me on the specifications and dimension"
Have you ever experienced these kinds of problems? As a wholesaler or distributor, you also burden great pressure from your customers. If your supplier cheated on you, you have to explain to your customers or even need to make compensation for your customers, which is a great risk for your reputation and profits.
Pool quality artificial grass most likely will appear dimension instability and seam rapture after installation.
It will be horrible to have these kinds of problems. The reasons are mainly as follows:
A. Unstable shrinkage and uneven tension of the PP cloth, which lead to artificial grass dimension shrinking.
B. Too much expansion of the backing in the coating production process and weak bonding when installing will cause seam rapture.
"Oh, my god. The packing is so ugly. How do I sell to my customers with so poor packing?" Have you ever have this kind of experience when you opening the container after waiting for around 58 days. No matter whether the goods under the packing are good or not, that is a really bad feeling when you see the poor packing. Poor backing mainly includes:
A. Bad quality packing clothes with ugly colors.
B. Sags and crests of both sides of the rolls.
C. Packing clothes are broken during transportation.
For end-user consumers, the most conceded problem is the safety of artificial grass for their children or pets. We know that the poor quality artificial grass in the market do content Cadmium, Lead, Mercury...and other heavy metal which threaten the health of human beings and pets.
