Infill plays a crucial role in the resilience of synthetic turf. It helps fibers stay upright and evenly distributed, preventing them from collapsing or leaning irregularly. This stability ensures a uniform playing surface, which is essential for both performance and player safety.
Additionally, infill provides effective shock absorption, significantly reducing the risk of injury by cushioning impacts.
SBR, made from recycled tires, is one of the most widely used infill solutions for synthetic sports fields due to its excellent performance, durability, and affordability.
It ensures a smooth, consistent, and shock-absorbing playing experience, while being highly cost-effective for municipalities and sports clubs.
Key benefits:
Although made from recycled materials, SBR tends to retain more heat than organic infills such as cork, olive, or corn, which may impact player comfort in hot weather.
Nevertheless, SBR remains one of the most commonly used infills, offering an outstanding balance of performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
Harvested from cork oak bark, this natural material stands out for its flexibility and excellent sports properties, providing a playing sensation close to natural grass.
Key benefits:
Higher cost than conventional infills | Some material volatility (can shift slightly over time) | Temporary static electricity may occur during installation.
Crushed olive pits are a sustainable and effective infill solution.
Key benefits:
As a harder material, it may be abrasive on skin in case of direct.
Derived from the non-edible core of the corn cob, this infill is 100% natural and eco-friendly. Key benefits:
This infill offers a sustainable, durable, and health-conscious alternative, meeting the performance needs of next-generation synthetic fields.
