Rubber infill is used on the synthetic surface. What rubber is used and what does SBR stand for?
Our synthetic pitches use a patented all rubber in fill due to better under foot characteristics, comfort, drainage etc. There are many types of rubber that can be used but mainly the best product and most common is SBR rubber. Basically, SBR (Styrene Butadiene or butyle) rubber is recycled tyre rubber that is chemically treated, cleaned and reformed into infill particles for synthetic surfaces. SBR rubber is most commonly found in the colour black. EPDM rubber is another type of infill used as infill. This type of rubber is more expensive but gives the client options of different colours such as red, green, blue, etc.
