PT Pro 90 Grass-Like Artificial Turf
Avoid until the brand discloses coating chemistry clearly.
Artificial turf typically uses water and stain-resistant coatings that may contain PFAS. The brand provides no public disclosure of PT Pro 90's surface treatment chemistry.

What PT Pro 90 Grass-Like Artificial Turf is made of, ingredients and materials
PT Pro 90 is polyethylene synthetic grass with unspecified protective coatings applied by the brand. Polyethylene itself is a stable plastic with low chemical leaching risk, but the undisclosed coatings are the critical unknown, they may contain UV stabilizers, antimicrobial agents, or water repellents that are not named on available product documentation. The absence of coating chemistry transparency is the primary safety concern, as it prevents assessment of what chemicals leach or off-gas during weathering, temperature cycling, or degradation.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
Undisclosed protective coating chemistry
The brand has not publicly named or tested the protective coatings on PT Pro 90. These coatings may include UV stabilizers, antimicrobial agents, or water repellents with unknown leaching or off-gassing potential, especially under outdoor heat and weathering.
Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing from coatings
Synthetic turf with unspecified coatings can off-gas when heated or exposed to UV light, particularly during and shortly after installation. No emissions testing data is publicly available for this product.
Coating degradation and microparticle release
Synthetic turf coatings degrade over time in outdoor conditions, especially in high-UV or high-temperature climates. Degradation may release microparticles or expose underlying materials; the composition of this product's coating makes assessment of degradation byproducts impossible without disclosure.
Antimicrobial or biocide leaching
Many synthetic turf products include antimicrobial coatings to prevent mold or odor. If PT Pro 90 includes such agents, they may leach into soil or runoff under wet conditions, but the brand has not disclosed whether this product contains antimicrobials.
What’s reassuring
Lead
No independent testing or complaints on record for lead or heavy metal contamination in PT Pro 90. Polyethylene-based turf typically does not incorporate lead pigments, but undisclosed coatings create a data gap.

The brand's record and disclosure
The brand maintains silence on the chemical composition of protective coatings applied to this product and has not published independent testing data or certification records for the PT Pro 90 line. The company has faced documented scrutiny over PFAS use in other product lines but has not addressed or clarified whether similar substances are present in this turf product. No third-party certifications (e.g., GreenLabel Plus, FloorScore) appear on record for this specific product.
How it compares in its category
Artificial turf products vary widely in coating chemistry and off-gassing behavior. Competitors marketing transparency (e.g., labeling antimicrobial agents or UV absorbers) or carrying environmental certifications position themselves as lower-concern alternatives. PT Pro 90 offers no such disclosure, making direct safety comparison impossible. High-contact outdoor textiles (especially those exposed to heat and UV) typically warrant chemical disclosure as a baseline industry standard.
If you buy it
Ensure adequate drainage and ventilation during and after installation to minimize any volatile off-gas exposure; avoid placing the product in high-heat zones (direct south-facing walls, near reflective surfaces) where coating degradation may accelerate. Do not use for children's play areas or pet zones without first conducting a trial period in a well-ventilated space. Inspect periodically for visible degradation, color fading, or odor changes, and replace if coating integrity appears compromised. Rinse thoroughly with water before heavy use if possible.
