Abstract (en)

A method for producing a yarn for a field of artificial grass by extruding a polymer material into a monofilament, stretching the monofilament at an elevated temperature, relaxing it to obtain a band and twisting several bands together into a yarn, whereby said extrusion takes place via a spinning plate having such a form that monofilaments are obtained, which in the cross-section have regularly spaced-apart protrusions having a height of 10 - 40% of the thickness of the monofilament without protrusions, being a thickness of 100 - 700 mu m and a width of 1 - 5 mm, then said stretching takes place at a stretching ratio between 1 : 2 and 1 : 10, whereby bands having a thickness of 50 - 350 mu m and a width of 0.5 - 2 mm are obtained after relaxing and cooling, and whereby subsequently 5 - 10 bands are twisted together in order to obtain said yarn. <IMAGE>
