TrafficMaster Turf Squares Artificial Grass Interlocking Tiles
Skip until transparency improves, synthetic turf often uses PFAS-treated backings; no disclosure is a red flag.
TrafficMaster artificial grass tiles lack public disclosure of coating or backing materials. Synthetic turf products frequently employ water-resistant treatments that may contain PFAS, particularly in rubber or foam layers.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% 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.
