Sand is used in the installation of synthetic turf to provide stability and support to the artificial grass fibers. It is spread evenly across the turf to help keep the fibers upright and prevent them from matting down. Additionally, sand is used in the maintenance of synthetic turf to help distribute infill materials evenly and improve the overall performance and longevity of the turf.
Grass turf is natural grass. Astro turf is artificial and is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look like natural grass.

For infilled synthetic turf fields, there are 2 types of paint. The first is removable paint and the second is more permanent paints. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of paints that are advertised as removable that are very hard to remove and leave a shadow. Few paints are truly removable. If the paint company recommends a product like 'Simple Green' to remove the paint, then the paint is not truly removable. The Synthetic Turf Council lists one company that provides synthetic turf paint. That company is Pioneer Athletics.
