TºCool works by storing moisture within the synthetic turf system. When the sun heats the surface, that stored moisture slowly evaporates. During evaporation, heat energy is absorbed from the turf surface, helping lower surface temperatures naturally. Rather than simply cooling the surface for a few minutes, TºCool is designed to sustain the benefits of evaporative cooling by gradually releasing moisture over time.

Synthetic turf becomes hot because turf blades absorb and radiate solar energy throughout the day. Unlike natural grass, artificial turf does not cool itself through evapotranspiration. As sunlight heats the turf fibers and infill, surface temperatures can rise significantly above the surrounding air temperature. Factors such as solar intensity, turf color, infill selection, wind, humidity, and ambient temperature all influence how hot a synthetic turf surface becomes

Natural grass continuously cools itself through evapotranspiration. As water moves through the plant and evaporates from the grass blades, heat energy is removed from the surface. This natural process along with a heat sink effect, helps keep grass significantly cooler than most synthetic surfaces. TºCool was developed using the same scientific principle, applying evaporative cooling technology to synthetic turf systems.

No. Water alone provides immediate but short-lived cooling because it quickly evaporates from the surface. Once the water is gone, the turf begins heating again under direct sunlight.

Whereas TºCool® provides a sustained cooling effect by managing the release of moisture over time . As the stored moisture gradually evaporates, TºCool continuously removes heat through evaporative cooling, providing longer-lasting cooling performance after hydration.

Cooling performance depends on sunlight, humidity, wind, hydration, and the specific turf system. Independent testing and real-world installations have demonstrated surface temperatures are reliably reduced 30°F–50°F, with some testing showing reductions of up to 60°F under certain conditions.

Yes, depending on weather conditions. Like natural grass, TºCool relies on moisture to create evaporative cooling. Moisture can come from rainfall, irrigation, dew, or humidity. Once hydrated, the stored moisture becomes the “charge" that powers the cooling process.

Cooling duration varies depending on weather conditions, humidity, solar intensity, and wind. In many climates, TºCool can continue providing cooling for up to four days after hydration, while humid environments may extend cooling even longer. Drier climates typically require more frequent hydration to maintain peak performance.

TºCool is a patented, independently owned evaporative cooling technology focused solely on solving synthetic turf heat. It is compatible with any synthetic turf system and combines proprietary and proven cooling performance with a spherical, dustless, and rounded silica sand.

TºCool® is also infused a bio-based, EPA-registered antimicrobial to help create cooler, cleaner, and more comfortable turf systems.

Yes. TºCool can be incorporated into existing synthetic turf systems. Installation methods vary depending on the existing infill and turf construction. Regardless if new installation or existing, we recommend a minimum of 2.5 lbs of T°Cool per square foot of Turf.

Please reference our TºCool Calculator for precise application rate.

Yes. TºCool was developed with comfort, safety, and sustainability in mind. It is non-toxic, non-hazardous, contains zero VOCs and HAPs, is not a microplastic, and incorporates a renewable, EPA-registered antimicrobial to help inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew while reducing malodors.

Yes. TºCool is infused with an EPA Registered, bio-based, and 100% renewable antimicrobial technology.

Derived from a renewable resource, it helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew while helping prevent stains, odors, and product degradation. Unlike many antimicrobial technologies, TºCool’s chosen Antimicrobial does not rely on heavy metals or BIOCIDES.

The shape of an infill particle plays an important role in long-term turf performance. Angular sands tend to lock together as traffic increases, leading to greater compaction and reduced pore space. TºCool uses a highly spherical, well-rounded silica sand that resists interlocking, helping maintain open pore spaces throughout the infill profile. These interconnected voids promote efficient water infiltration, reduce compaction, improve shock absorption, and support consistent drainage over the life of the turf system.

Combined with TºCool's patented evaporative cooling technology, this engineered sand helps create a cooler, cleaner, and higher-performing synthetic turf system.
