In traditional artificial Sports turf systems, two types of infill are added, stabilizing infill (typically sand) and Performance infills (typically polymeric) being most commonly SBR rubber granules (old vehicle tyres) or virgin Polymer alternatives like TPE or EPDM. These materials have traditionally played a vital role in keeping the turf upright, adding cushioning, and enhancing traction. Without infill, the artificial grass would be less stable and realistic, affecting its usability and durability.
One of the primary purposes of infill is shock absorption. This softens the surface, helping protect athletes from injuries due to impact. Additionally, infill provides support for fiber resilience by maintaining the upright position and protecting the turf fibers, giving the surface a more natural, grass-like appearance.
