Cork is the bark of the Cork Oak tree (Quercus suber L). It is a completely natural raw material, with unique properties which give it an unrivalled character. It is light, impermeable to liquids and gases, elastic and compressible, provides thermal and acoustic insulation, it is a fire retardant and highly abrasion-re…

Beside being a 100% organic and sustainable material, cork provides interesting elastic characteristics with a high resilience. Being a natural elastic infill, it can optimize shock absorption and energy restitution in the artificial turf grass system. At the same time, due to its cellular structure and composition, co…

What is the source of the chemical materials and elements used in plastic- and rubber-based infills? Despite the strict rules on raw materials that can be used to produce synthetic infills, concerns remain regarding the potential use of poorer-quality materials or materials from an unknown source. This is not the case…

Edelgrass provided the artificial turf and Weitzel Sportstättenbau (Tencate) was in charge of the installation of the system on top of the existing in situ elastic layer.

As a cork-based infill, Amorim Nature 130 is an eco-friendly option, reducing the turf’s maintenance general costs and offering advantages to users in comparison with other types of filler: odorless, absence of toxicity, and elastic properties.   The energy restitution provided by the cork-based infills optimizes the a…

Cork provides outstanding elastic characteristics which lead to a lower energy restitution without compromising shock absorption. For athletes, this represents lower fatigue and better training conditions.
