If it is too hot to touch, it is too hot for play. 🔥
Traditional surfaces can reach temperatures that put kids at risk. Playground Grass is designed with heat dissipation in mind, helping create a safer, more consistent environment.
One key measurement is specific heat capacity, which defines how much heat energy a material can absorb before its temperature rises. Higher values generally indicate better resistance to rapid heating. 📈
