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 stain-resistant/waterproof coating, Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing from coating and adhesives, Microplastic shedding from pile fiber wear and Formaldehyde or other resins in backing or binders on the and not on the AstroTurf.
  • The AstroTurf is Polypropylene (PP) astroturf where the is polyethylene turf with unspecified waterproof/stain-resistant coating, 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 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.

Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers 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 →
