Where these two actually differ
- We flag Microplastic shedding (PE pile degradation), Backing adhesive leachates (unspecified composition), Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing from backing/adhesive and PFAS-based water-repellent coatings (industry standard, not confirmed for this SKU) 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 (PE) synthetic turf pile with unspecified backing/adhesive coatings 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 →
