Southwest Greens of the Valley, along with parent company Shaw Industries, announces the implementation of a patented HydroChill™ pre-coated filling. The new pre-coated product adds to the success of HydroChill™ Home, an ingenious cooling system started in October 2013. Created to resist the heat on synthetic lawn and landscape surfaces, HydroChill is the first heat reduction innovation of its kind and one of the only solutions in the industry to lead to considerable and sustained temperature differences.

Although results will depend on geographic location and local weather such as humidity, wind fluctuations and cloud cover, HydroChill Home has accomplished 30°F to 50°F lower surface temperatures compared to a basic synthetic turf surface when evaluated by an infrared thermometer. The technology is applied to a artificial turf and, when sprayed with water, eliminates heat from the turf system leaving a cooler, more comfortable surface. The cooling effect of HydroChill Home after rainy weather or watering can persist for days depending on local conditions and is most significant when surface temperatures are hottest. HydroChill is most effective 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.
