Static Grass

Synthetic fibers applied using electrostatic charge to create realistic standing grass.

Full Definition

Static grass consists of synthetic fibers applied using a static grass applicator that gives them an electrostatic charge. The charge causes the fibers to stand upright as they land on adhesive-coated surfaces, mimicking natural grass. Different fiber lengths represent different vegetation types - short for lawns, long for meadows and weeds.

Examples

•6mm static grass fibers represent waist-high weeds in HO scale
