High-performance sports grass infill, football turf infill, and artificial turf infill for maximum stability, ball rebound consistency, and player safety.
Synthetic Turf Infill Options
With global emphasis on sustainability, more and more football fields and sports facilities are transitioning from traditional rubber infills to environmentally friendly recyclable fillers. This new generation of infill turf materials is widely used in 4G artificial grass and 5G pitches, taking into account performance, environmental protection, and regulatory compliance.
synthetic grass sand
Sand infill is one of the most widely used base materials in artificial turf sand infill systems for professional football fields. When properly installed, turf sand infill plays a critical role in the overall performance, safety, and longevity of a sports pitch. Silica sand infill, also known as silica infill, is particularly popular due to its durability and excellent drainage properties.
Rubber Infill for Artificial Turf
On a 3G pitch, rubber turf infill provides natural ball bounce and roll similar to natural grass. It is an essential component for professional football turf infill systems, particularly in FIFA-certified installations. Crumb rubber turf and synthetic rubber infill are common choices, offering excellent shock absorption properties.
TPE infill
Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) infill features:
- Can be recycled and reused multiple times
- Similar elasticity and cushioning properties as rubber
- No odor, no black residue particles
- Stable ball rebound and shock absorption effects
Application: High-end club training grounds and school sports grounds, especially suitable for projects with strict environmental protection requirements.
Premium 15% TPE Infill
You get a cost-effective and environmentally friendly premium TPE infill and a plum blossom-shaped structure, this infill enhances shock absorption while reducing overall filling volume by up to 40% vs. EPDM. Its matte anti-glare surface, static-free performance, and UV7000-hour anti-aging durability ensure long-term safety and comfort for everyday use.
Application: High-end club training grounds and school sports grounds, especially suitable for projects with strict environmental protection requirements.
FIFA 20% TPE Infill
Engineered for higher-intensity sports, TPE infill version elevates player protection while maintaining long-term surface stability. The 6400-cycle Lisport wear test (FIFA 2015) proves its capability for long-term competitiveness. Plus, the low-heat absorption design keeps surfaces cooler in sunny climates.
Application: High-end club training grounds and school sports grounds, especially suitable for projects with strict environmental protection requirements.
FIFA 30% TPE Infill
Designed for professional football venues and premium sports systems where top-tier shock absorption and player-safety performance are mandatory. With hollow-core structure (30% porosity) and the 30% rubber-elastomer ratio, it delivers rapid deformation-recovery under impact, faster bounce-back, stronger resilience, and excellent stability for heavy usage schedules. High-quality masterbatches with UV resistance, flame retardancy, and antistatic properties are also incorporated during the production process.
Application: Professional football, rugby fields, FIFA-standard pitches
EPDM infill
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) infill features:
- Variety of colors (green, red, brown, etc.)
- Excellent weather resistance and ultraviolet resistance
- Will not release harmful substances
- Surface temperature 10–15℃ lower than traditional black rubber
Application: Outdoor stadiums, community sports lawns, especially suitable for hot climate areas.
Organic Infill
Types: coconut fiber, cork infill, olive core pellets, etc. Advantages:
- 100% biodegradable to avoid microplastic pollution
- Good water absorption and temperature regulation ability
- Significantly reduces site surface temperature in summer
Application: Regions, school projects, urban roofs, and green sports fields with strict European environmental regulations.
Black Rubber Infill
Rubber infill is a veteran of artificial turf, made from recycled tire rubber. Artificial turf rubber infill effectively absorbs shock and enhances turf resilience. It is a practical choice for temporary or low-frequency use.
Artificial Turf Infill Application Scenarios
High-Performance Sports Field Infill
In the construction of sports fields, the selection of fillers directly affects the performance of the stadium:
- 3G pitch: uses a classic combination of sand + rubber particles to provide stability, shock absorption and real ball rebound. It is currently the most widely used system in the world.
- 4G artificial grass: reduces the amount of rubber particles, and adopts more environmentally friendly filling (EPDM, TPE, organic particles) to meet environmental protection regulations.
- 5G pitches: Latest trend, some systems are completely free of rubber particles, and are even close to the design of turf without infill, relying on grass silk structure and environmentally friendly particles to achieve performance.
For contractors and sports facilities investors, the correct sports field installation must select the right filler based on the lawn generation (3G, 4G, 5G) to ensure long-term durability and game performance.
Landscape-Specific Infill
Benefits of landscape infill:
Keeps grass fibers upright
Enhances stability
Improves drainage
Ensures strong durability
In landscape grass projects, 5–12 kg of silica sand infill is usually required per square meter, with the specific amount depending on grass height and frequency of use.
Pet-Friendly Turf Infill
For family yards, pet play areas, and pet grass products, pet-friendly turf infill is essential.
Envirofill: Doesn't absorb water or clump, avoiding residual pet urine and reducing odor
Best turf infill for pets: Smooth particles that won't harm pet claws, ensuring safety and comfort
Pet turf infill: Features antibacterial properties to keep the lawn clean and hygienic
MightyGrass recommends artificial turf pet infill as the best choice for pet-friendly lawns, ensuring long-lasting and beautiful lawns while being safe for pets.

How to choose the right silica sand for artificial turf?
Artificial grass infill materials may look small and insignificant, but they actually play a crucial role in the lifespan of artificial turf.
This video showcases the performance of MightyGrass artificial turf in a 50,000-repair test. Using both coarse and fine sand as friction media, the video clearly shows the different levels of wear on the turf: coarse sand causes 30% to 60% more wear than fine sand.
