Where these two actually differ
- We flag PFAS in DWR/stain-resistant coating, Microplastic shedding during use and maintenance, Infill material contamination (if included or recommended) and Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) off-gassing during installation on the AstroTurf and not on the AstroTurf.
- We flag VOC off-gassing from polyurethane or latex adhesive, Polypropylene UV degradation and microplastic shedding, Backing adhesive failure and fiber separation and Infill contamination (if rubber granules used) on the AstroTurf and not on the AstroTurf.
- The AstroTurf is Polyethylene or polypropylene base with unknown DWR/stain-resistant coating where the AstroTurf is Polypropylene (PP) astroturf, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the AstroTurf is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the AstroTurf grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
