There are two primary functions of synthetic turf infill. The first is to assist in anchoring your artificial turf by adding weight to the backing. This is essential in preventing ripples from developing during warm / cool temperature fluctuations. The other function turf infill serves is to add ballast and to assist in keeping the turf fibers standing up. In sports fields and commercial playground applications, a high amount of infill (typically crumb rubber) is used to add impact attenuation for falls or tackles.
There are several options based on your project and use. Anti-microbial infill for use in playgrounds and areas with pets, silica sand for areas with lighter foot traffic, and crumb rubber found in higher impact zones like sports fields.
