New generation
The 3rd generation Artificial Turf (AT) is distinguished by longer fibres ranging from 40 to 60 mm in height and by use of the so called performance infill granules strewn between the fibres, so that the shoe studs can find the right foothold.
The performance infill consists of elastomeric granules made of thermoset rubbers or specially designed Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE).
The main difference between the two types of infill is that thermoset rubbers cannot be further reused or reprocessed at the end of their life cycle while Themoplastic Elastomers are fully recyclable and can be reused and transformed several times.
