New lab results confirm CocoTurf's winning combination of high traction and low temperatures
Did you know that the skin friction of a sand-filled CocoTurf surface is nearly identical to that of a traditional sand-filled needlepunched surface?
Independent testing conduction 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 similar 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, almost 10°C cooler, making CocoTurf a more comfortable and safe option during playtime.
These results underline CocoTurf's position as a high-performing, sustainable alternative to conventional synthetic surfacing.
