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
FloorEXP uses polypropylene and polyethylene fibers, thermoplastic polymers chosen for durability and weather resistance in outdoor/event settings. These materials themselves are relatively stable, but the manufacturing process typically involves additives: flame retardants (to meet safety codes for event venues), UV stabilizers, and colorants. The backing layer, often polypropylene or polyester mesh, may contain additional chemical treatments. Synthetic turf durability depends on these additives, but they can off-gas, particularly in heat or high-traffic scenarios.
The brand's record and disclosure
Domo Sports Grass maintains a professional sports-equipment profile but does not publicly disclose detailed chemical composition, manufacturing certifications (e.g., Oeko-Tex, GreenGuard), or third-party testing for volatile organic compounds. No major safety recalls for this specific product are on record. The brand's silence on PFAS and other additive transparency suggests limited independent verification of chemical safety, which is common in synthetic turf manufacturing but limits consumer confidence.
How it compares in its category
Event synthetic grass rolls occupy a middle ground: cheaper and more durable than natural turf, but less chemically transparent than premium brands (e.g., those certified by FIFA or Cradle to Cradle). Most synthetic grass in this price and application tier includes flame retardants and UV packages without detailed disclosure. FloorEXP is typical for its category in lacking granular safety data; premium alternatives often provide third-party test reports.
If you buy it
Ensure adequate ventilation during and after installation, especially in enclosed venues, to minimize VOC inhalation. Avoid prolonged contact with high heat or direct flame. Inspect fibers regularly for wear, degradation, or shedding, and replace sections if backing or fibers show visible breakdown (which accelerates leaching of colorants and additives). Clean with water and mild soap; avoid harsh solvents that can degrade the polymer matrix and increase chemical release.
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.”
Flame retardant additives
Synthetic grass for events typically includes halogenated or non-halogenated flame retardants to meet venue fire codes. Domo does not disclose which class. Potential for skin contact and inhalation, especially if fibers shed or backing deteriorates.
Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing
Polypropylene and polyethylene with dyes, UV stabilizers, and processing aids can release VOCs, particularly in warm or high-traffic conditions. No third-party VOC test data from Domo is publicly available. Risk is moderate in well-ventilated outdoor settings, higher in enclosed venues.
Colorant and pigment leaching
Synthetic grass fibers are dyed to simulate natural grass. If backing or fibers degrade through UV exposure or mechanical wear, dyes can leach into soil or groundwater. Domo does not specify if pigments are heavy-metal-free (e.g., lead, cadmium in some older synthetic turf formulations).
Microplastic fiber shedding
Synthetic grass naturally sheds microfibers during installation, use, and breakdown. This is a known category-wide issue, not brand-specific. Shedding increases with foot traffic and UV exposure. No data on Domo's specific shedding rate or fiber durability relative to competitors.
Backing adhesive or coating off-gassing
The backing layer may use polyurethane adhesives or latex coatings to bond fibers. These can emit formaldehyde or other VOCs. Domo does not disclose backing adhesive type or testing. Risk is highest in sealed or warm environments.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 62% 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.
