GCC Artificial Turf Market – Overview
Artificial turf is a large-scale synthetic grass-like strand. The fibers are often attached to a backing material composed of nylon, polypropylene, or polyethylene.

Artificial grass is often constructed of PE or PP material, both of which are waterproof and capable of withstanding prolonged submersion without suffering harm.
