FIELD: agriculture.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a synthetic fibre of monofilament type for use in an artificial lawn, where synthetic fibre has a width greater than thickness of synthetic fibre. Invention also relates to an artificial lawn consisting at least of a backing to which one or more synthetic fibres according to invention are attached.
EFFECT: object of present invention is to prevent a weak synthetic fibre which remains prone to splitting and fracture and to provide an improved synthetic fibre for use in an artificial lawn which is sufficiently rigid yet flexible as well and which has capacity to straighten again so as to be able to take up varying loads during play, and which is also sufficiently wear- resistant and sliding-friendly, so that fibre will less tend to assume a flat orientation or split or fracture, and which furthermore does not increase risk of injury or have an adverse effect on playing characteristics.
