TPE granules are used as an infill material for artificial turf systems. Since the base material of artificial turf fiber is polyethylene (PE), the surface friction is naturally lower than real grass, especially in light rain or wet conditions. Adding TPE infill between the turf fibers increases surface friction, slows down ball rolling speed, and shortens rolling distance. This brings the field's playing behavior closer to natural grass.
Unlike traditional black rubber infill, TPE granules are produced without the use of recycled rubber material, avoiding the irritating odor and dust commonly associated with rubber crumb infill. This makes TPE a practical choice for facility owners looking for a cleaner, more consistent playing surface.

TPE granules are made without recycled rubber, which removes the source of irritating odor and reduces the health concerns associated with rubber-based infill. This makes TPE a cleaner alternative for schools, public parks, and community facilities.
Black rubber granules are produced through a crushing process that generates a large amount of dust. TPE granule production avoids this issue, keeping the field surface and surrounding area cleaner during use and after installation.
Because PE turf fiber alone has lower friction than natural grass, an appropriate amount of TPE infill increases surface friction. This reduces ball rolling speed and shortens rolling distance, bringing overall field behavior closer to a natural grass pitch.
TPE infill helps maintain consistent field behavior across different weather conditions, including light rain, where PE fiber alone tends to lose grip.
TPE granules are designed for long-term outdoor exposure, supporting stable performance across repeated use cycles.
Football fields, rugby fields, hockey fields, and other high-standard sports fields. TPE infill supports stable ball speed and consistent player footing.
Playgrounds for primary, secondary, and tertiary schools, as well as activity areas for kindergartens, where a clean and low-odor surface is a priority.
Roof gardens, balconies, and commercial complexes, where a clean, dust-free surface contributes to overall space quality.
Community fitness areas and running track cushioning layers, supporting cushioning and shock-absorbing performance.
Yes. TPE granules do not use recycled rubber material, which avoids the irritating odor and associated health concerns found in some rubber-based infill products.
No. The crushing process used for black rubber granules produces significant dust. TPE granule production does not generate this issue, keeping the surface cleaner.
TPE infill increases surface friction compared to bare PE turf fiber, which reduces ball rolling speed and rolling distance. This brings the field's playing behavior closer to natural grass, especially in wet conditions.
Yes. Color, packaging, and supply arrangement can be adjusted based on project requirements. OEM/ODM options are available for bulk orders.
Yes. TPE granules are intended for outdoor sports and leisure applications and are designed to maintain performance under continued outdoor exposure.
