SIS Pitches · Artificial Turf & Grass
FloorEXP Event Synthetic Grass Roll
Synthetic grass typically lower concern, but verify no water-resistant coatings.
Synthetic grass rolls are usually base polypropylene or polyethylene without PFAS coatings. SIS Pitches provides no public PFAS disclosure; contact them to confirm no water-repellent coating or stain treatments were applied.

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
FloorEXP Event Synthetic Grass uses polypropylene or polyethylene fibers as its primary material, both thermoplastics with no known lead, cadmium, or phthalate risks at normal indoor/outdoor temperatures. The fiber core itself is chemically stable and does not off-gas formaldehyde or volatile organic compounds under typical use. The critical unknown is whether the turf backing, infill binding agents, or water-resistance treatments contain PFAS compounds (PFAS "forever chemicals"), which manufacturers often use silently in outdoor synthetic turf to improve water and stain repellency.
The brand's record and disclosure
SIS Pitches is a synthetic sports surface supplier with no public PFAS disclosure statement, material safety data sheets readily available online, or known safety certifications (such as GreenGuard or similar standards) specific to this product line. The brand has not published independent third-party testing results for PFAS or volatile emissions. Without proactive transparency or certifications, buyers cannot verify whether water-resistant coatings contain legacy or emerging PFAS compounds.
How it compares in its category
Synthetic grass turf generally presents lower VOC and flame-retardant hazard profiles than foam-backed furniture or synthetic carpet, since the PP/PE fiber itself does not require brominated flame retardants for regulatory compliance. However, compared to natural grass or turf products with transparent PFAS testing, this product offers no published safety assurance. Competitors in the event/sports turf sector vary widely in PFAS disclosure; premium brands increasingly publish PFAS-free certifications.
If you buy it
Request the manufacturer's material composition specification and ask explicitly whether water-resistant or stain-guard treatments contain PFAS or other fluorinated compounds. Avoid placing the turf directly on unprotected soil or in areas where runoff enters drinking water sources, since leaching behavior is not documented. Clean spills with water or mild soap rather than harsh solvents, which can degrade the backing and potentially mobilize coatings. Inspect for tears or degradation annually, as fragmentation may release fibers or binding agents.
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.”
PFAS in water-resistant coatings
Synthetic turf is commonly treated with fluorinated water and stain repellents; SIS Pitches has not disclosed whether FloorEXP Event grade includes such treatments or confirmed PFAS-free status. This is the primary unknown hazard for this product.
Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing
Polypropylene and polyethylene fibers themselves do not release VOCs at room temperature. Off-gassing risk depends on adhesives, binders, or infill materials, which are not specified in public product information.
Microplastics and fiber shedding
Synthetic turf fibers can fragment under heavy foot traffic, UV exposure, or mechanical wear, releasing small plastic particles. Risk increases if backing degrades; long-term environmental accumulation is a documented concern for outdoor synthetic grass fields.
Antimony in polyester components
FloorEXP Event is polypropylene or polyethylene based, not polyester, so antimony catalysts are not expected in the fiber itself. Risk applies only if polyester threads or reinforcement is present in backing or stitching, which is not documented.
Flame retardant chemical presence
PP and PE do not require brominated flame retardants for compliance in turf applications. No evidence of added flame retardants in this product category, though infill sand or backing materials could carry undisclosed additives.
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.
