INDEPENDENT TESTING CONFIRMS COOLER SURFACE TEMPERATURES
New Lab Results Confirm CocoTurf’s Winning Combination of Comfort, Performance, and Sustainability
Independent testing has once again reinforced what many in the industry already know — CocoTurf delivers exceptional performance while leading the way in sustainable innovation. The latest laboratory results confirm that CocoTurf offers the perfect balance of comfort, playability, and environmental responsibility, setting a new benchmark for artificial turf technology.
One of the most impressive findings relates to skin friction, a crucial factor in surface comfort and player safety. Tests revealed that the skin friction of a sand-filled CocoTurf system is almost identical to that of a traditional sand-filled needlepunched surfacing, giving athletes and users the familiar feel and grip they expect. The results showed a coefficient of friction of 0.62μ for CocoTurf, compared to 0.64μ for conventional options — a virtually indistinguishable difference. This means that switching to CocoTurf doesn’t compromise traction or performance in any way.
However, where CocoTurf truly stands out is in temperature performance. During the same series of tests, the surface recorded a temperature elevation of just 61.7°C, compared to 71.5°C on traditional surfacing. That’s almost 10°C cooler, offering a noticeably more comfortable experience for players, children, and coaches alike — especially during warmer months. This cooler surface helps reduce heat-related risks and contributes to safer, more enjoyable playtime.
These findings reinforce CocoTurf’s growing reputation as a high-performing, eco-friendly alternative to traditional synthetic surfacing. Combining natural coconut fibre technology with cutting-edge design, CocoTurf delivers all the performance benefits of modern artificial turf — with a fraction of the environmental impact.
