When it comes to artificial grass, there’s more to it than meets the eye. What does C8, C6, and C4 mean? What are the differences? How how do they impact the look and feel of your lawn? In this guide, we’ll unravel the mysteries behind these artificial turf yarns, helping you make an informed decision when it comes to your landscaping needs.
Decoding C8, C6, and C4 Artificial Turf Yarns:
If you’re contemplating the installation of artificial grass, you’ve likely encountered the terms C4, C6, and C8. These designations refer to different grades of carbon fibers and the number of carbons in the polymer, which play a crucial role in determining the performance and suitability of artificial turf. You may also hear them referred to as “yarns”. This is an industry term used to denote the material artifical grass is made from, and is often used interchangably with terms like “carbon fiber.”
One important thing to note is that most turf on the market is actually made from low-grade C2 yarn, which we do not carry at Turf Dsitributors. All of our products use C4 yarn or greater, and most of them use C8 DuraBlade™ technology.
