TºCool is an artificial turf, performance based, cooling infill that is engineered to work through the same thermoregulation process our bodies use to keep us cool – evaporative cooling. TºCool simply requires hydration, which can come from irrigation, rainfall, or humidity. Similar to natural grass, T°Cool utilizes the moisture that it holds to create powerful evaporative cooling of the artificial turf surface – Up to 50ºF cooler synthetic turf surface temperatures.
TºCool is the only technology based infill on the market today. TºCool is 100% non toxic, non hazardous and cools your turf up to 50ºF for multiple days on one water “charge”. This breakthrough technology not only drives down the temperature on synthetic turf surfaces, but also reduces friction to help combat skin turf burns. T°Cool makes synthetic turf surfaces more playable for millions

 

It is very important to keep moisture content in the T°Cool® turf system in order to power the evaporative cooling process. It also provides bio based antimicrobial protection which prevents mildew and mold growth that cause odors and stains. The recommended amount of infill is 2-3lb per sqft.

Description

The Synthetic Turf Heat Issue

By replacing natural grass surfaces, synthetic turf provides the benefits of cushioning, enhanced durability, fiber support, and easy maintenance… while offering an “all-weather” alternative to the grass surfaces.

For decades, however, one negative characteristic of synthetic turf has been experienced but not resolved. During warm weather months, synthetic turf of all types has the potential to GET HOT, Really HOT…consistently reaching temperatures of 140ºF to 160ºF+ degrees.

TºCool® is an innovative evaporative cooling technology that reduces synthetic turf surface temperatures by 30 to 50 degrees…without compromising the performance benefits.

To create this evaporative cooling effect T°Cool® simply requires hydration in the form of irrigation, rainfall, or humidity to continuously activate – making it the only proven synthetic turf cooling infill that cools the entire synthetic turf system for sustained periods of time.

T°Cool® is an eco-friendly solution that cools synthetic turf by coating the infill which can be comprised of black crumb rubber, sand, or other infill materials to combat the heat and make the fields cooler, safer and more playable.

A different kind of infill. Envirofill is composed of naturally occurring sand found only in the Hickory Formation of central Texas. Itshighly-rounded quartz core resists compression so it doesn’t compact over the life of the turf.

  • Mimics a natural grass system – soil supporting turf blades
  • Maintains turf’s aesthetic for years by keeping artificial turf blades upright
  • Adds ballast and weight for the artificial turf system
  • Creates footing and a more natural grass feel
  • Protects your turf by creating a barrier between harmful UV rays and the backing of your synthetic turf/li>
  • Provides performance and safety. Attenuates shock for athletes and provides proper footing on sports fields, playgrounds, and recreational areas.

 

Check it out, as our Sales Manager Brian Park explains why we made the switch to TºCool Cooling Infill for our synthetic turf systems.

“It also has a cooling agent. That cools the turf up to 50ºF. That is unique. There is no other product in the market that does it.”.

 

MORE ABOUT TCOOL INFILL


TCool works on the evaporative cooling principle. The means that when sun rays hit the surface of synthetic turf, solar heat energy breaks hydrogen bonds preventing the surface temperature to rise until all moisture inside TCool particles have evaporated.

While applying water to synthetic grass fiber may have the effect of temporarily cooling your fake grass, artificial grass with TCool infill will be kept at lower temperatures way longer, effectively keeping it cool for three days after hydration.

PROPER INFILL DEPTH

Adequate infill level is critical to fiber performance and safety. We recommend you add 1/2 -1 lb. of Global Syn-Turf TCool infill per square foot for optimal cooling.

MAINTENANCE

The amount and frequency of care on your brand new synthetic turf landscape really depends on the surface condition, volume, and type of use. We recommend that you periodically groom and swipe the surface of your fake grass installation to remove unsightly litter and debris.

Keep in mind that infill does not break down, it often is just redistributed to other areas of the surface. Proper grooming helps even out the infill better than the addition of more infill.

WHEN SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE HYDRATED?

As a general rule, the system (your artificial grass landscape) should be hydrated during periods of daily use every 3 to 4 days if there is no significant rainfall (¼ inches). This, of course, can vary depending on humidity and partial cloud cover. We recommend hydrating in the morning before the surface gets too hot. Typically this should be done before 10:00 a.m.

HOW MUCH SHOULD IT BE HYDRATED?

After T Cool is applied to the grass, hydrate the area until it is wet to the touch (roughly 1/4 inch of water). The granules will absorb the moisture. As a general rule, it takes 141 gallons of water for a 1,000 square foot area. That is the equivalent of ¼ inches of rain.
