Le gazon artificiel est fait de fils plats de polypropylène, qui sont propres au gazon artificiel et ne sauraient être comparés aux filés de filaments continus gonflants ni aux filés discontinus servant à la production de tapis d'intérieur produit sur machine à touffeter. En outre, le gazon artificiel subit un traitement spécial par rayons ultraviolets (UV), qui protège contre la décoloration par l'effet du soleil.
