The secondary backing is applied after the yarn has been woven into the primary backing. Secondary backings are typically made of latex or polyurethane, though there are some specialized exceptions. This coating acts an adhesive. It dries around the stitches to hold them in place. The amount and type of secondary backing used will vary and contribute to the life of the grass. Thicker, stronger backings have greater tuft bind. Tuft Bind is a measure of the force required to pull a stitch of blades through the backing system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.purchasegreen.com\/artificial-lawn-grass.html\"><strong>shopping for artificial grass<\/strong><\/a>, don&#8217;t forget to ask about the backing system!
