ARTIFICIAL TURF WITH TEXTURIZED AND NON-TEXTURIZED FIBERS
In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing an artificial turf includes manufacturing a hot-texturized yarn by texturizing a first yarn at a first temperature; manufacturing a low-temperature-texturized yarn by texturizing a second yarn at a second temperature, the second temperature being lower than the first temperature; integrating the hot-texturized yarn, the low-temperature-texturized yarn and a non-texturized yarn into a carrier; cutting the integrated yarns to form low-temperature-texturized fibers, hot-texturized fibers and non-texturized fibers extending from the carrier; exposing the carrier with the texturized and non-texturized fibers to a third temperature to cause the hot-texturized fibers to shrink and the low-temperature-texturized fibers to expand; after exposition to the third temperature, providing the carrier with the texturized and non-texturized fibers as the artificial turf.
