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 Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from adhesive and backing, Flame retardant additives (composition unknown), Adhesive degradation and backing delamination over time and Latex or synthetic rubber backing allergens on the and not on the AstroTurf.
- The AstroTurf is Polypropylene (PP) astroturf where the is polyethylene artificial turf with unknown adhesive/backing, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 35 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.
