Infill Range

Infill plays a central role in the performance, safety, and durability of synthetic turf systems.

Far more than just a supporting layer, it directly impacts how the surface feels, plays, and performs over time.

Why choose performance infill systems

  • Optimal Foot Stability
    Homogeneous and stable surface, designed for use with studded/cleated footwear, promotes optimal grip. The footwear is in contact with the infill rather than the fiber, enhancing stability
  • Resistance to Rotations
    Controlled grip ensures secure changes of direction and footing, while reducing pressure on joints and minimizing injury risks
  • Slip Control
    An ideal balance between traction and fluid motion, allowing natural movement while reducing the risk of uncontrolled slips
  • Shot Precision
    An optimal pile grass height for improved touch and smooth foot movement under the ball
  • Stability and Comfort in High Heat
    The infill layer reduce surface overheating, ensuring a more comfortable temperature and enhanced player comfort, even in summer
  • Consistent Performance in Humidity
    Quick water drainage and controlled absorption ensure a stable and safe playing surface, regardless of weather conditions

Natural Infill

Engineered using MET’s patented single strand extrusion technology, this fibrillated slit film fiber, featuring a distinctive honeycomb pattern, delivers superior durability and long-term performance. Its uniform strand orientation ensures consistent ball roll in all directions, while its structure helps retain natural infills, reducing maintenance needs. When combined with monofilaments, it enhances both the playability and natural look of the surface.

PureFill (Cork)

PureFill (Cork)

Purefill is an environmentally friendly cork infill.

PureFill is a sustainable product that provides a natural soil aesthetic and significantly reduces heat on the playing surface. PureFill is highly resilient, durable, UV resistant and offers excellent shock absorption.

FEATURES

  • 100% Natural
  • Proven heat reduction
  • Natural soil aesthetic
  • Great energy absorption
  • High elasticity & compression resistance
  • UV resistant
  • No irrigation required
  • Odourless and nontoxic
  • Decay resistant due to suberin content

PureSelect (Olives)

PureSelect is Tarkett Sports’ fully natural granulate made from olive pits.

PureSelect, made from olive pits, is designed to deliver all the benefits of a natural infill system. The olive pits undergo a strict separation, centrifugation and cleaning process, resulting in granules which are clean, light coloured and without dust or impurities.

FEATURES

  • 100% Natural
  • Natural soil aesthetic
  • Proven heat reduction
  • UV resistant
  • Does not float
  • Odourless and imperishable
  • Low splash & Low elasticity
  • Simplified maintenance

PureGrain (Corn)

PureGrain is the latest natural infill innovation from Tarkett sports.

PureGrain is a 100% biodegradable performance infill derived from corn. The material is obtained from the woody ring portion of corn cobs and is a product of seed corn. The result is a clean, heat reducing, dust free infill.

FEATURES

  • 100% Natural
  • Proven heat reduction
  • Natural soil aesthetic
  • UV resistant
  • Does not float
  • Odourless

Polymeric Infill

REMINDER : On September 25, 2023, the EU Commission adopted measures to restrict "intentionally added" microplastics. This means a ban on all polymeric infill sales after an 8 years transition period. After September 2031 selling polymeric infill (microplastics) will be forbidden including SBR, EPDM, TPE. Only natural infill materials (organic, sand) or non filled will be allowed.
