What Revolution 360 Synthetic Turf System is made of, ingredients and materials
Revolution 360 uses polyethylene (PE) fibers as the primary playing surface, a thermoplastic polymer chosen for durability and wear resistance in high-traffic athletic fields. The system includes an infill layer, typically a blend of sand, crumb rubber, or similar granulates, that sits between the fibers to provide cushioning, drainage, and ball response. Polyethylene itself does not leach BPA, phthalates, or heavy metals under normal use conditions; however, the infill composition and any binding agents or coatings applied to the fibers are not explicitly detailed in widely available product literature.
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.
Microplastic shedding from fibers
Polyethylene fibers in synthetic turf naturally shed microscopic particles during use, particularly under high friction (athlete foot traffic, ball impacts). Long-term environmental and human inhalation impacts remain under study; no product-specific remediation measures from FieldTurf are on record.
Infill composition unknown or undisclosed
Standard infills include recycled crumb rubber, which may contain PFAS and heavy metals, or virgin sand/plastic pellets; Revolution 360 product documentation does not consistently specify infill type, making hazard assessment incomplete without direct manufacturer confirmation.
Off-gassing or VOC release (installation phase)
New synthetic turf installations may release volatile compounds from adhesives, coatings, or the polymer itself, particularly in warm or enclosed conditions; specific data for Revolution 360 is not publicly available, but is a known concern in the category.
Fiber degradation and heat sensitivity
Polyethylene softens and can degrade above approximately 80-90 degrees Celsius; prolonged UV exposure causes color fading and brittleness. No special coatings to mitigate UV damage are named in available product specifications.
Heavy metals
If Revolution 360 uses recycled crumb rubber, traces of zinc, lead, or cadmium from tire manufacturing may be present; this hazard is category-wide and not Revolution 360-specific, but infill specification is critical to assess.

The brand's record and disclosure
FieldTurf (owned by Tarkett) is a major synthetic turf manufacturer with significant market presence in sports facilities globally. The brand has not published comprehensive public documentation on PFAS content in Revolution 360 or other product lines, despite growing industry scrutiny of PFAS in crumb rubber infills and turf coatings. Independent testing and environmental groups have flagged PFAS in some synthetic turf systems; FieldTurf's silence on third-party testing or specific formulation details limits transparency. Requesting detailed material safety data sheets and infill composition directly from the manufacturer before installation is advisable.
How it compares in its category
Synthetic turf systems as a category face recurring concerns around microplastic shedding, PFAS in recycled crumb infills, and volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing, particularly in new installations. Revolution 360's polyethylene fiber composition is conventional and comparable to competitors; the distinguishing factor is infill selection and any proprietary coatings. Natural grass alternatives eliminate microplastic and synthetic chemical hazards entirely but require higher maintenance and water input. Hybrid systems (synthetic fibers with organic infills) represent a middle ground, though data on Revolution 360's hybrid variants, if available, is not widely publicized.
If you buy it
Ensure infill material specification is documented in the purchase order and request PFAS testing results or manufacturer certification before installation. Regular maintenance, removal of debris, raking to redistribute infill, and inspection for fiber degradation, reduces microplastic release and extends product life; high UV exposure may cause gradual color fading and fiber brittleness over 8-12 years depending on climate and use intensity. If installed indoors or in enclosed areas, verify adequate ventilation during and after installation to minimize inhalation of any off-gassing compounds. Avoid high-heat equipment (welding, open flames) near the surface, as polyethylene can degrade and release fumes at elevated temperatures.
