UV RADIATION
Did you know that artificial grass can also get old?
UVA & UVB in the sunlight can damage your grass!
Artificial grass landscape may be placed outdoor all year round, and it will be touched by
one thing during daytime – the Sunlight. The UVA and UVB ray in sunlight becomes the
killer who has the ability to fade the landscape color and reduce its durability.
Like our skin should be protected in the sun, artificial grass landscape needs the high anti-
UV stability to keep green and stable. ARTGRASS Southern Africa’s landscape has been
successfully with the UV-defending character, which can be evaluated by the accelerated
“UV aging test”.
RADIATION REPORT
South Africa lies in the high UV
Radiation sector, from 220 -240 units
UVA and UVB is the main part of the UV rays in sunlight which can reach to us almost every day. UVB is
fiercer than UVA rays, especially in equatorial zone, sunny latitudes or thin air area.
Our grass has passed UVB artificial weathering test for fierce 3000 hours. This ensures the stability of our
product even in some tropical desert climate, or some extremely hot area like Australia. These areas are
famous for its extraordinary high temperature and long hours of hot sunshine. But our product can still offer
a reliable warranty of 6-7 years of service life.
ARTGRASS Southern Africa’s grass has passed the tests:
UVA 3000 hours: to simulate 6-7 years in most areas and 5-6 years in extra sunny areas.
UVB 3000 hours (fiercer than UVA): to simulate 7-8 years in most areas and 6-7 years in extra sunny areas.
