Where these two actually differ
- 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 .
- We flag PFAS in water and stain coatings, Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing, UV-induced degradation and microplastic release and Bacterial or mold growth in wet conditions on the and not on the AstroTurf.
- The AstroTurf is Polypropylene (PP) astroturf where the is Polypropylene turf backing with unknown stain/water treatments, 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 grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
