Southwest Greens of Huntsville, together with parent company Shaw Industries, announces the launch of a patented HydroChill™ pre-coated infill. The new pre-coated product builds upon the success of HydroChill™ Home, an ingenious cooling system released in October 2013. Made to protect against the heat on synthetic lawn and landscape surfaces, HydroChill is the first heat reduction innovation of its kind and one of the sole solutions in the business to produce significant and sustained temperature differences.

Although results will depend on geographic location and local conditions such as humidity, wind fluctuations and cloud cover, HydroChill Home has been able to have 30°F to 50°F lower surface temperatures compared to a regular synthetic turf surface when measured by an infrared thermometer. The technology is applied to a artificial lawn and, when sprayed with water, removes heat from the turf system leaving a cooler, more comfortable surface. The cooling effect of HydroChill Home after rainfall or watering can keep working for days depending on local conditions and is most effective when surface temperatures are hottest. HydroChill is most successful when the sun is closest to the earth’s surface resulting in temperature differences of 50 degrees in real world, third party validated outdoor tests.
