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 Realgrass.
  • We flag Flame retardants (brominated or antimony-based), Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing, Heavy metal pigments (lead, cadmium in colorants) and Microfiber shedding during wear on the Realgrass and not on the AstroTurf.
  • The AstroTurf is Polypropylene (PP) astroturf where the Realgrass is polyethylene and polypropylene synthetic grass fibers, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

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 →
