Coolgrass

 

Bonar has developed a proprietary solution for landscaping in hot climates. We call the technology - Coolgrass™

The increased use of synthetic turf on a global scale has led to increased personal interaction with synthetic turf.

Significant consideration is now being given to improve the individual’s experience associated with the use of synthetic turf. Using the most advanced pigment technology available, adapted from defence research activities, Bonar has developed Coolgrass™ to enhance comfort levels when using synthetic turf, especially in the world’s warmer regions.

Coolgrass™ is one of our latest market-leading innovations that keeps synthetic turf cool by reflecting infrared and dissipating heat into the atmosphere. Existing technologies simply absorb the heat into the yarn which can result in uncomfortable surface temperatures.

From a technological viewpoint Coolgrass™ is ideal for 4th Generation systems with little or no infill. Coolgrass™ can also be used in traditional 3rd Generation systems to help lower the high temperatures which can be generated by rubber infill.

The concept of Coolgrass™ addresses the following issues:

  • To develop a synthetic turf with the cool properties of natural grass

  • To counter the effect of rubber infill increasing surface temperatures

  • To create a synthetic turf which is more comfortable for athletes

  • To produce a cool synthetic turf suitable for use in private lawns

  • To improve the personal experience of interacting with synthetic turf
