The focus is on the new Radigreen HD PE line of long-lasting fibrillated yarn and the Radigreen MFL PE PAT monofilament range. The company will also highlight the Radigreen MFL PA family of 100% polyamide monofilament, as well as My Radigreen, an all-in-one combination of straight and textured monofilament for carpets.

Environment and safety

Today Tessiture Pietro Radici is the third largest producer of artificial grass yarn in the world, offering tailor-made products for a wide range of applications, from sports to landscaping.

Tessiture Pietro Radici was recently awarded two important management systems certifications: UNI EN ISO 14001:2004 for the environment and BS OHSAS 18001:2007 for occupational health and safety.

According to RadiciGroup, it is committed to measuring the environmental impact of its production chain systematically and rigorously so as to provide information based on verified and comparable scientific data.

Designed for durability

Radigreen HD PE and Radigreen MFL PE PAT are RadiciGroup’s latest products for the artificial grass market and are specifically designed for sports applications.  

“Today our application sectors and target markets are focusing their attention on a specific yarn performance requirement: durability,” said Marianna Panico, Tessiture Pietro Radici R&D manager.

“In the case of Radigreen HD PE fibrillated yarn, we have used special polymers specifically designed to achieve high tear resistance, and we have invested in a new innovative fibrillation technology. For the MFL PE PAT monofilament, we have developed a solid cross-section shape, free of intrinsic weakness, and have selected a polymer that allows us to achieve superior tuft lock performance, an important feature for the yarn.”

Radigreen HD PE

Radigreen HD PE is a new range of fibrillated yarn, the combined result of the evolution of production technology and the use of high-performance polymers. It is said to offer good weavability, ease of installation and maintenance, and a high wear resistance over time.

Radigreen HD PE yarn is said to be able to withstand prolonged stress by developing a self-twisting property, a helix effect, that strengthens the yarn by increasing resilience and split resistance. It also ensures a uniform and homogeneous playing surface with good resilience and ball roll, according to the company.

Radigreen MFL PE PAT

Radigreen MFL PE PAT is a new range of monofilaments that is said to provide great wear resistance, UV stability and it is also plasticizer free and certified as non-toxic.

In order to enhance wear resistance without affecting softness and resilience, the company made Radigreen MFL PE PAT from a mix of special polyethylene resins, purposely selected and accurately dosed to strengthen the yarn over its entire cross-section.

A solid cross-section shape is said to make Radigreen MFL PE PAT the highest-performing monofilament in its family in terms of wear resistance during prolonged use.

My Radigreen

The main advantages of synthetic turf in residential and commercial applications, outlined by the company are reduced water consumption, minimal maintenance, an evergreen lawn, and no need for pesticides.

For the landscaping market, Tessiture Pietro Radici offers My Radigreen (where MY stands for Multi-Yarn), a range of exclusive products that give turf makers maximum creativity, freedom and colour flexibility.
