Beyond Turf | Safety Performance
PLAYGROUNDS
Greenplay is America's natural Infill company, nationally proven for use in private and public schools as the safest and most environmentally compatible artificial playground grass turf filler. Natural and durable coconut fibres are harvested from pesticide-free crops and blended with pure cork granules to fill the turf and work safely and in harmony with the natural surroundings
GREENPLAY BRINGS THE NATURE
Always buy North American made products. Artificial grass gets its Colour, UV Treatment and Cool Reflective properties through the addition of certain additives. The US has the strictest consumer-protection laws in the world. Overseas manufacturers have few regulations and little enforcement. ProGreen employs a 100% Proprietary premium metallocene polymer from Exxon Mobil and uses “No Fillers” in fibre resins. Often Overseas products employ inexpensive resins and unknown fillers to the fibres. ProGreen uses No Lead and No Heavy Chemicals. Our new Dual Fibers provide UNMATCHED DURABILITY lasting 2-3 times that of conventional artificial playground grass products.
Fairlawn Artificial Playground Grass The Coolest
Ultimate environmental compatibility with the lowest carbon footprint of any turf system.
Safety-Temperature
The 100% organic plant-based infill absorbs natural moisture and slowly releases it back into the atmosphere like natural grasses evaporative cycle. This evaporative cycle, along with the inherent low bulk density of the organic material, is the only two critical factors that significantly reduce turf temperatures. The FIFA Method 14 test classifies Greenplay Artificial Playground Grass as a Category 1, same as grass at <122°F.
Safety-Abrasion
Some landscape turf can be abrasive. This can be an issue with children running and sliding on the lawn. Fairlawn uses a proprietary fiber formal that reduces the abrasiveness of the surface to be more like grass. The abrasive index of natural grass is rated as 20 (ASTM F1505), Greenplay's average rating is 21
