Amorim Organic
Cork and olive component infills guarantee balanced elasticity and compression resistance
Excellent Elasticity and Compressibility
It is the only solid which, when compressed on one side, does not increase in volume on another; and as a result of its elasticity it is able to adapt, for example, to variations in temperature and pressure without suffering alterations.
Chemical composition of cork
• suberin (45%) - main component of the cell walls, responsible for the elasticity of the cork;• lignin (27%) - insulating compound;• polysaccharides (12%) - components of the cell walls that help define the texture of the cork;• tannins (6%) - polyphenolic compounds responsible for the colour;• seroids (5%) - hydropho…
Prevents cracks and repairs fissures
Due to its high elasticity Corkwall prevents shrinkage cracks and treats existing micro fissures.
Bringing back a part of nature to the artificial turf system
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…
What are cork’s main features?
Cork benefits from properties such as thermal and acoustic insulation, resistance to fire and high temperatures, elasticity, and compressibility, and on top of all that, it is natural, reusable and recyclable. These properties are correlated with cork’s microscopic structure that considers a hive-like structure filled…
Natural and recycled materials engineered specifically for a safe and high performance shockpad
Made with recycled materials such as rubber or EVA’ combined with cork, Amorim Sports shock pads are specifically engineered for use under artificial turf systems. These products guarantee uniformity in ball rebound, shock absorption, force reduction, elasticity and other cushioning properties over the lifetime of an i…
Amorim Hybrid is a bio-based infill for high performance artificial turf systems, combined natural and synthetic materials.
It is formulated with the best cork granules, virgin SBR rubber and other biodegradable materials to increase performance, even under harsh weather conditions. Amorim Hybrid is a perfect match for artificial turf systems with demand for higher elasticity of infills, ensuring the maximum performance and comfort.
Amorim Ice is a circular economy born infill, with recycled paper fibres and cork inside. It incorporates cork and paper fibers around up to…
Amorim Ice delivers excellent thermal performance and softness, offering players and coaches all the guarantees from their artificial turf system. It offers a good balance of shock absorption, elasticity, stable strength, durability and heat-resistance. It has increased wear resistance when compared to 100% natural in…
