Most
synthetic turf paints are formulated to stick to the different synthetic turf fibers, e.g., nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene. Also many of these synthetic turf paints are designed to be removed using a special cleaning agent which is formulated for their respective ingredients.
If you use a
standard natural turf paint on synthetic turf it will start flaking off as soon as it experiences foot traffic because it doesn’t have the binders/adhesives in the formulation.
Most
bulk synthetic turf paints are designed to be applied without dilution whereas most natural turf paints are diluted before application. The synthetic turf paints are normally applied (undiluted) with a high pressure airless sprayer (puts out at least 900 psi at the pump) to help atomize the paint.
