Synthetic Surface

An artificial surface of plastic or rubber origin, both of which are products of the petro-chemical industry. A synthetic surface will usually mean a surface which has artificial grass as the synthetic carpet, and which can be used for a wide range of sports. The carpets might be manufactured by being woven, knitted, or tufted; with fibres in the carpet being either monofilament, fibrillated, or a mixture of the two. Synthetic surfaces are classed as either 2G, 3G, or 4G.
