The use of natural cork or cork combined with other materials as an infill is favoured due to corks’ many positive proprieties, such as: low density (insulation properties with low heat absorption when exposed to sunlight), high elasticity (because of the large share of air that fills its cell structure), high strength…

Since cork has low heat absorption when exposed to light, cork-based or cork infills reduce the turf’s surface temperature by up to 30%, when compared to other infill solutions, ensuring conditions for comfortable use, all year round.

Given its unique cellular structure, cork has a high shock-absorption capacity and thermal conductivity. These characteristics, together with a natural texture and appearance, make cork infills a non-aggressive solution for players, guaranteeing system performance and reducing wear and tear.

It clearly depends on the type of selected cork infill or cork-based infill. A clean and good-quality cork has very low water absorption characteristics. Additionally, while there are cork types available with higher water absorption capacities, the water absorption of cork is generally limited. Cork-based infills are…

In order to meet the club's objective of providing players and other users with a more sustainable football pitch, Amorim Sports’Nature infill was adopted to provide functional finish with less buoyancy and coagulating in rainy season, while remaining cork’s natural shock absorption feature, in the artificial turf syst…

With high temperatures and humidity ratios, the main challenges of a synthetic turf in Latin America and, in this case, in Peru (Lima), are related to the athletes comfort: technical shock absorption, lower energy restitution, but above all, lower surface temperature in order to avoid health issues. On the other hand,…

Antea Sport, from the Antea Group Netherlands, was the company responsible for the planning and installation of the new pitches at the Schagen United football club. After preparing the ground to ensure the structural requirements, a shock pad based on SBR rubber was installed, designed to standardize the floor and ensu…

Sportsgrass was the company responsible for the planning and installing the project. After the ground works provided the necessary structural requirements, a 30 mm SBR based insitu e-layer was installed, providing perfect flatness and shock absorption performance. A new innovative artificial turf “ACT Global Xtreme Tur…
