A tuft bind is the force, measured in pounds, that is required to pull a tuft from the turf backing. This is also known as a “tuft lock.” An ideal tuft bind measurement for synthetic grass is 10+ pounds or more of force to pull the monofilament from the backing.
It is within the synthetic grass construction process that an adhesive glue is coated to the back of the synthetic turf. In order for synthetic grass to have a secure and strong backing, the coating must be done with the right elements.
A coated backing is most commonly comprised of either a urethane material or a latex material.
