摘要:
The invention relates to a composite artificial grass fiber for use in an artificial lawn, in particular an artificial grass sports field, which artificial grass fiber is made up at least of several monofilament fibers. The invention further relates to an artificial lawn, in particular an artificial grass sports field built up of a substrate to which composite artificial grass fibers according to the invention are attached. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a composite artificial grass fiber according to the invention, in particular for an artificial lawn, which comprises the steps of manufacturing several monofilament fibers and forming said several monofilament fibers into a composite artificial grass fiber. The object of the invention is to provide a composite artificial grass fiber as well as an artificial grass sports field comprising such an artificial grass fiber, which makes it possible to apply and distribute infill material between the composite fibers in a simpler manner without the eventual playing characteristics of the artificial grass sports field being adversely affected. According to the invention, the artificial grass fiber is to that end characterized in that the artificial grass fiber further comprises an additive made of a decomposable material, which holds said several monofilament fibers together temporarily.
