Olive Pit Infill for Synthetic Turf Installation - 1000kg per bag

Olive pit infill is a 100% natural, organic performance infill manufactured from precisely crushed and graded olive stones. Engineered specifically for synthetic turf systems, it serves as a direct, sustainable alternative to traditional elastomeric infills like SBR rubber.

FEATURES

• 100% natural and organic performance infill
• Direct, sustainable alternative to SBR rubber and elastomeric infills
• Excellent ballast to maintain turf pile uprightness
• High water permeability
• Low dust formation during installation and athletic use
• Superior thermal performance using natural moisture retention for evaporative cooling
• Non-toxic, odourless, and free from heavy metals, PAHs, and microplastics
• Fully biodegradable or recyclable at end of lifecycle
• Up to 70% shock absorption recorded
  
• Independently tested by IGOID & AITEX
• Used in systems achieving FIFA Quality Pro performance requirements

INDEPENDENTLY LAB-TESTED PERFORMANCE & SAFETY

Backed by independent laboratory testing from AITEX (Spain) and Labosport (France & Canada):

• Tested to EN 15330-5, the leading international standard for synthetic turf infill materials
• Non-toxic leachate — result exceeded the regulatory pass threshold by over 20x
• PAH and heavy metal content tested far below EU and US safety limits
• Passes EN 71-3, the chemical migration standard used for toy and child-product safety
• Very low dust generation during handling and installation
• Excellent drainage — over 20x the minimum permeability requirement
• Stays cooler in the sun — Class 1 surface temperature rating, a real point of difference from rubber crumb infills
• Durability-tested through 15,000 cycles of mechanical wear and freeze/thaw cycling, with no loss of performance
• Natural, vegetal material — no chemicals used in processing, just grinding and sieving
• Also tested to ASTM F3496 & F3188, the equivalent US and Canadian standards

IDEAL FOR

• Synthetic turf systems requiring natural, organic infill
• High-performance sports pitches requiring FIFA Quality Pro standards
• Eco-friendly sports facilities, schools, and councils seeking non-toxic, microplastic-free solutions
• Installations in warm climates requiring reduced surface temperatures

TYPICAL SYNTHETIC TURF SYSTEM USING OLIVE PIT INFILL

Olive pit infill is installed as part of a complete synthetic turf build-up, working alongside the turf fibre, shock pad, and sand infill to deliver a stable, high-performing playing surface. While every installation is tailored to the specific fibre type, shock pad, and infill rates required for the project, a typical synthetic turf system incorporating olive pit infill follows this configuration:

• Fibre pile height: 45–50 mm
• Shock pad thickness: 15–20 mm
• Sand infill rate: 15–20 kg/m²
• Olive pit infill rate: 5–6 kg/m²

This layered system — turf fibre over a cushioning shock pad, stabilised with sand and topped with olive pit granulate — is designed to optimise ball roll, foot stability, and shock absorption, while keeping the surface cooler and more environmentally sustainable than traditional rubber crumb systems.
