Domo Sports Grass · Artificial Turf & Grass
34 Oz Padded Gym Artificial Turf | 15ft Wide
Lower concern. Artificial turf typically uses base polymers without intentional PFAS.
Artificial turf is a base polymer product unlikely to contain PFAS unless waterproofed. Domo makes no PFAS claims. No public lab testing or certifications found for this product line.

Why this grade
Safe base material
Made from a material with no inherent PFAS use (ceramic, mineral, or natural fiber).
Category baseline
furniture is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement about PFAS in this product.
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This product uses polyethylene (PE) fibers bonded to a polypropylene (PP) backing, the industry standard for synthetic sports turf. Neither material intentionally contains PFAS, but both are thermoplastic polymers that can off-gas volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particularly when new or exposed to heat and UV. The 34 oz weight indicates a denser pile, which may trap more dust and require more frequent cleaning. Infill materials (sand, rubber crumb, or other additives) are not specified here and can introduce separate contaminants if sourced from recycled tires or contaminated sand.
The brand's record and disclosure
Domo Sports Grass maintains a silent public stance on PFAS, safety certifications, and material sourcing transparency. No major recalls or controversies appear in public records for this brand or product line. The company does not publicly advertise third-party testing (e.g., ISO, SCS, or ASTM certification) for VOC emissions or infill safety, which is common across the artificial turf industry but leaves end-users unable to verify off-gassing profiles or additive contents before installation.
How it compares in its category
Artificial turf products in this weight range are typical for residential or light commercial gym use. Most competitors (FieldTurf, Act Global, AstroTurf) similarly do not disclose infill composition or VOC testing publicly unless specifically requested. PE and PP backings are less durable than polyurethane systems but significantly cheaper; this product sits in the mid-market segment with expected lifespan of 8 to 12 years under moderate use. Ventilation concerns are standard across the category, not unique to Domo.
If you buy it
Unroll and air the turf outdoors for 48 to 72 hours before installation to allow initial VOC off-gassing. Ensure the installation space has adequate cross-ventilation, especially in gyms or small enclosed areas. Inspect backing and seams for tears or degradation every 6 to 12 months, particularly in high-traffic zones; UV exposure and mechanical wear will compromise structural integrity over time. Clean the surface regularly with mild soap and water to reduce dust accumulation; do not pressure wash at over 60 psi as this can separate fibers from the backing.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
VOC off-gassing from polyethylene and polypropylene
New polyethylene and polypropylene turf can release volatile organic compounds, particularly in the first weeks and under UV exposure or heat. No specific VOC profile testing for this product is publicly available; ventilation during and after installation is prudent.
Infill material contamination (unspecified)
The product listing does not specify infill composition (sand, rubber crumb, cork, or other). If recycled rubber crumb is used without quality certification, it may contain heavy metals or residual contaminants; confirm infill source with the manufacturer or supplier before installation.
Backing degradation and fiber shedding
Polypropylene backing degrades under prolonged UV and mechanical stress, releasing small fibers and particles. This is a known limitation of budget-tier synthetic turf; replacement is typically necessary at 8 to 12 years.
Bacterial and mold growth in moisture-prone conditions
Dense turf (34 oz) can retain moisture if drainage is poor, creating conditions for bacterial or fungal growth, particularly in humid or indoor gym environments. Regular cleaning and adequate airflow underneath are essential.
Formaldehyde or flame retardant resins in backing
No public disclosure from Domo indicates the presence of formaldehyde-releasing binders or brominated flame retardants in the backing. Standard PP backing does not require these additives, but clarification from the manufacturer is advisable if this is a concern.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
