Static electricity in artificial turf:
Often, we find that the artificial turf can conduct static electricity and is sometimes very annoying.
One day, upon completion of the artificial turf installation, the client noticed this situation and came up with the brilliant idea that he could eliminate it by burying a small iron in one of the corners of his garden, a wire he had at hand and a pair of small pliers.
By grounding the iron and wire, I attach the clamps to the backing of the artificial turf and magically eliminated the static electricity in the artificial turf.
An easy and simple solution to an uncommon incidence that we encounter.
Sick Building Syndrome.
Recently, there has been some research on the "sick building syndrome" where it has been shown that the design of a building and the materials used for its construction can cause static electricity to generate multiple health and habitability problems. In fact, in the city of Barcelona, a sick building belonging to a well-known gas company has had to be closed.
Artificial turf itself does not generate static electricity, but rather acts as a conductor of any agents that may be causing static electricity. For example:
- The friction of the rubber shoes on the grass.
- An abundant accumulation of dust.
- Exposure or contact with various metallic elements, etc.
There are few cases of static electricity on artificial turf compared to other materials.
It is estimated that there are less than 2% artificial turf installations with this type of incidences.
Nowadays, the best types of artificial turf have a quality of polymers and new technologies. The fact that this flooring can further avoid the conduction of static electricity has been minimised to a minimum.
