TPE Infill Granule is a thermoplastic elastomer infill material for artificial turf systems. TPE is sometimes called artificial rubber — it combines the elasticity and aging resistance of traditional vulcanized rubber with the processing flexibility of standard plastics. It can be produced through injection molding, extrusion, or blow molding.
As an infill, TPE sits between the turf fibers and works with the backing system to support ball response, foot stability, and overall surface feel. It's positioned as an alternative to traditional SBR and EPDM infill, aimed at projects where heat buildup, environmental compliance, or long-term field stability are priorities.
TPE infill is eco-friendly, non-toxic, and available in custom colors, which makes it suitable for both standard sports turf and decorative or landscape turf applications.

TPE is a polymer material with good recycling value. It's positioned as a newer, more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional rubber infill, which supports projects with sustainability requirements.
TPE granules absorb impact and support ball bounce behavior close to natural grass, which matters for football and other ball sports played on synthetic turf.
The infill is designed to stay in place within the turf system rather than shifting under foot traffic. This supports stable mid-foot contact during walking and running, similar to the footing you'd expect on well-maintained natural grass.
TPE infill runs cooler than traditional rubber infill under high heat, which helps keep surface temperature down on hot days and improves playing comfort.
The material provides a degree of surface protection against scratches and abrasions during sports activity.
TPE has a lower stacking density than traditional rubber infill, which can reduce overall material weight and associated costs for a given coverage area.
TPE infill has good UV resistance, which slows down surface aging and supports a longer service life for the turf system.
The material resists staining and oil exposure, which helps it hold up under normal field use and outdoor conditions.
TPE granules can be produced in custom colors, giving flexibility for branded fields, decorative turf, or specific facility design requirements.
Yes. TPE is an eco-friendly, non-toxic polymer material, which is one reason it's used as an alternative to traditional rubber infill in sports and playground applications.
Yes. TPE infill resists high temperatures and keeps surface heat lower than traditional rubber infill, which supports more comfortable playing conditions in hot weather.
TPE infill is designed for low migration within the turf system, which helps maintain consistent foot stability and reduces the need for frequent infill top-ups.
Yes. TPE is a recyclable polymer, which supports projects with environmental compliance or sustainability requirements.
Yes. TPE granules can be produced in custom colors to match branding, design, or decorative turf requirements.
Yes. We supply directly from our factory and support OEM/ODM customization for contractors, distributors, and stadium or field project developers.
