It is created from ground up recycled tires and is the most economical infill option you will find.

Not only are the fibers themselves exposed, but this absence of infill leaves your turf backing unprotected from the elements and athlete’s spikes which can puncture the backing. Heavy activity on areas with low infill levels leaves your turf without a protective layer and can lead to fiber degradation, or fraying. Infill extends the life of your field by protecting your turf fibers and backing.This means infill has the biggest impact on performance characteristics like a true ball roll or player foot interaction. In sports fields the infill is filled almost to the top of the turf carpet leaving only a short fiber reveal, making the infill one of the main components the game is played.Infill in synthetic turf fields is what holds the artificial turf blades up tall so that they do not lay flat. Picture a natural grass field, the grass blades are volumus and stand up straight. Infill is installed into the turf carpet itself, holding the turf fibers up tall creating a full and lush appearance.Infill is installed as one of the last elements of a synthetic turf field, but it is arguably, one of the more important components and here’s why: Artificial turf infill is a crucial element in any synthetic turf installation.
