An artificial turf system provides an existing artificial turf including a plurality of existing artificial turf fibres and an existing artificial turf backing configured to carry the plurality of existing artificial turf fibres, a new artificial turf comprising a plurality of artificial turf fibres and an artificial turf backing layer, where the artificial turf backing layer comprises a carrier structure configured to carry the plurality of artificial turf fibres, and a geogrid positioned between the existing artificial turf and the backing layer of the new artificial turf.

Artificial turf system including a geogrid and an existing turf

The invention provides for a method of delaying and reducing texture reversion of a textured artificial turf yarn (), characterized by using a stretched and textured monofilament yarn as the textured artificial turf yarn, the stretched and textured monofilament yarn comprising a polymer mixture (), wherein the polymer mixture is at least a three-phase system, wherein the polymer mixture comprises a first polymer (), a second polymer (), and a compatibilizer (), wherein the first polymer and the second polymer are immiscible, wherein the first polymer forms polymer beads () surrounded by the compatibilizer within the second polymer.
