How Heat Refraction Testing Confirms the Benefits of Natural Design
)
At Notts Sport, innovation means balancing performance, safety, and sustainability. Recent independent testing by Sports Labs Ltd confirms our CocoTurf surface delivers cooler, more comfortable play conditions than traditional artificial turf. By harnessing natural fibres and thoughtful design, CocoTurf demonstrates how sustainable solutions can outperform synthetic alternatives in real-world conditions.
Using FIFA Test Method 14, six surfaces were tested over 180minutes. CocoTurf with sand infill achieved the lowest surface temperature of 52.4 °C, compared to 69.8 °C for SBR infill. Even without infill, CocoTurf outperformed alternatives, proving natural fibres dissipate heat better and reaffirming our commitment to safer, cooler surfaces.
