SBR Infill Granules

Product Details

SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) infill granules are the most essential and commonly used infill material in artificial turf systems.

1. Material Properties
Source: Primarily manufactured from recycled scrap automobile tires through multiple processing steps (shredding, iron removal, screening, grinding).
Appearance: Typically irregular rubber granules in black or dark gray.
Specifications: Commonly sized between 0.5mm and 2.5mm, with specifications selected based on turf pile height and field application.

2. Core Functions and Effects
Stabilizes Turf Fibers: Filled at the base of turf fibers, it provides lateral support to prevent flattening from foot traffic and use, maintaining the field's aesthetics and upright appearance.
Enhances Cushioning: Offers excellent elasticity and shock absorption, effectively dissipating impact forces. This significantly reduces injury risks during falls, protecting ankles and knees.
Performance Enhancement: Increases surface friction, delivering authentic ball roll speed and foot feel to simulate natural turf playing experiences.
Substrate Protection: Reduces direct abrasion on artificial turf backing and subgrade, extending the entire turf system's lifespan.
Weight Addition: Stabilizes the entire turf system, minimizing shifting and wrinkling.

3. Advantages
Cost-Effective: Most economical option, ideal for budget-sensitive projects.
Exceptional Durability: Outstanding resistance to aging and abrasion ensures extended service life.
Superior Resilience: Excellent cushioning and shock absorption provide ample athletic protection.
Effective Drainage: Interstitial spaces between granules facilitate rapid water infiltration, preventing surface pooling.
