How to Cool Artificial Turf Down

Some citizens complained that Artificial Turf was too hot. In summer, what is the temperature on the surface of artificial turf? The investigation shows that the surface temperature is anout 82 degrees. The high temperature of artificial turf is not only in urban parks, but also is in the schools.

In recent years, the development of artificial turf is rapidly. Artifical turf requires less maintenance than natural grass, but can maintain a good appearance ten years or longer. However, in the case of high temperature, artificial grass is inferior to natural grass. The surface temperature of artificial turf and natural grass will increase with the increase of ambient temperaturem, which can reach about 30 degrees.

By changing the recipe and structure of the artificial turf to cool the lawn, it is a good method. Through this technology, the cooling rate is cosiderable. Some manufacturers are using new fillers to cool temperature down, such as ZelFill. This material can replaces traditional quartz sand and rubber granule fillers. ZeoFill is an organic mineral, which was used in water filtration systems and healthy food supplements. It retains moisture and helps reduce the surface temperature of the site.

In addition, many sports fields also use ancillary equipment to cool the site, such as water cannon. At the moment, the latest price for artificial turf field is between $1 million and $1.2 million. Some of this money was used to cool the fields before matching. Some people worry about that artificial turf will evaporate more chemicals in high temperature. Actually, the raw material does not exist volatitle, even under the condition of high temperature.
