Synthetic grass can get warm, whether you live in an area that stays scorching throughout the year or only during the summer. It may arguably be one of the biggest drawbacks of a synthetic surface. When a artificial turf surface is exposed to sunlight for long periods of time, it can get scorching and take a little while to get cool. But thanks to much research and testing, Southwest Greens has the answer Hydrochill.

WHAT IS HYDROCHILL?

Hydrochill is an advanced technology that is added to the turf's infill that uses the science of evaporative cooling. Hydrochill works like how sweating cools you. As the synthetic turf is warmed up by the sun (solar radiation), moisture thats stored in the surface treated with Hydrochill is released to eliminate the warmth and leave a cooler, more comfy surface.

HOW DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK?

Ambient heat outdoors doesnt wholly rule surface temps. After a while, solar radiation (sunlight), the suns angle, cloud coverage, wind, and many other components impacts the surface temperature. Hydrochill uses moisture to provide a cooling effect. This moisture comes from rainfall, dew, or irrigation to keep a synthetic grass surface chill for days, depending on the weather. It provides its biggest advantages in the hottest time of the day.

Based on both lab and outdoor lawn thermocouple testing, Hydrochill has reached 30 - 50 degrees lower surface temperatures compared to standard turf systems. Additional tests were executed by a FLIR-Certified Thermographer employing the most advanced camera images and technology. Forward-Looking Infrared readings indicate just how much Hydrichill cools the surface, pictured below.

This groundbreaking technology comes in two forms as a spray application and as a pre-coated sand infill. Both are similarly effective at cooling the surface. Hydrochill moisture and is activated by sprinkler systems or a straightforward spray from your garden hose. It is non-toxic and does not have adverse environmental effects.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

DECREASES HEAT-RELATED ILLNESSES

The CDC says heat stroke and heat exhaustion can be highly bad. Heat exhaustion is the bodys response to extreme loss of water and salt typically through sweating. Heat stroke is even more hazardous, which occurs when the body can no longer maintain its internal temperature, causing sweating systems to fail. A synthetic turf cooling system helps to reduce these conditions by diminishing the surface temperature.

MORE COMFORTABLE

Even if its not a swelteringly hot and sunny day, artificial grass temperatures can still get hot enough to be uncomfortable. Hydrochill will work constantly to maintain your artificial lawn at a lower temperature if you live in a weather system that has history of frequent downpour. If you reside in a dry weather system, a swift rinse every now and then will ensure it is working properly. It will be furthermore ease for both kids and pets feet.

BETTER PLAY

If you are thinking about Hydrochill for a sports field, its one of the most important investments you can make. heat and humidity may cause trouble for athletes by raising their body temp too high and leading to dehydration. When artificial turf is cooled using a high tech technology like Hydrochill, athletes will play better by positively affecting their stamina.
