- Title
Colbond: New yam technology for artificial turf.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the new method employed by Arnhem, Netherlands-based non-woven manufacturer Colbond BV on yarn production for artificial turf. It says that Colbond keeps calendar rolls at low temperature to maintain the polymer under glass transition temperature (Tg) to prevent sheet tensions for elastomeric material yarns and tapes. Furthermore, Colbond uses pins and blades with specific length, widths and angles to fibrillate the yarns.
