INDEPENDENT TESTING CONFIRMS COMPARABLE SKIN FRICTION – WITH COOLER SURFACE TEMPERATURES

New lab results confirm CocoTurf’s winning combination of comfort and performance.

Did you know that the skin friction of a sand-filled CocoTurf surface is nearly identical to that of a traditional sand-filled needlepunched surfacing?

Independent testing conducted using industry-standard methods revealed that CocoTurf achieved a coefficient of friction of 0.62μ, closely matching the 0.64μ of traditional options. This means CocoTurf delivers familiar traction and performance—while offering a major advantage when it comes to surface temperature.

In the same tests, CocoTurf demonstrated a significantly lower temperature elevation, recording just 61.7°C, compared to 71.5°C for the traditional surface. That’s almost 10°C cooler, making CocoTurf a more comfortable and safer option during playtime.

These results further underline CocoTurf’s position as a high-performing, sustainable alternative to conventional synthetic surfacing.
