Southwest Greens of New Mexico, alongside parent company Shaw Industries, announces the implementation of a patented HydroChill™ pre-coated infill. The new pre-coated product increases the success of HydroChill™ Home, an advanced cooling system started in October 2013. Made to protect against the heat on synthetic turf and landscape surfaces, HydroChill is the first heat reduction innovation of its kind and one of the sole solutions in the business to lead to significant and sustained temperature differences.

Although results will result based 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 standard artificial turf surface when evaluated by an infrared thermometer. The technology is applied to a artificial lawn and, when sprayed with water, pulls heat from the turf system leaving a cooler, more comfortable surface. The cooling impact of HydroChill Home after rain or watering can keep working for days depending on local conditions and is most effective when surface temperatures are hottest. HydroChill is most impactful when the sun is closest to the earth’s surface producing temperature differences of 50 degrees in real world, third party validated outdoor tests.
