In recent years consumers are becoming more conscious of the artificial grass infill in their sports fields and turf landscapes. In an effort to offer the best alternatives to adverse publicity raised by environmental concerns, Act Global offers a diverse array of alternative performance infills. Each infill is thoroughly tested to ensure the product is safe, durable, and performs according to top players’ expectations for the long term.
Did you know the following about Alternative Performance Infills?
There are many different types of alternative infill
From cork/walnut based products to coated sand, to TPE, to EPDM, Act Global offers a matrix of infills to suit a variety of climates, uses, and aesthetics. Each system is high performance and is engineered to prevent compaction, but each system offers varying advantages related to surface temperatures, watering requirements, and appearances.
Alternative Infill is suitable for both sports and landscape
Safety is a critical factor in any area that artificial grass is selected. This is why Act Global offers infill options that contain no PAHs, heavy metals, or carcinogens. These infills also pass EN 71-3 toy safety standards and are CAM 17 and Prop 65 compliant, meaning that consumers can be confident in their infill choice from Act Global.
Alternative infill offers a lower surface temperature
There’s a growing library of research that suggests that organic alternative infills help keep artificial grass fields significantly cooler than their crumb rubber counterparts. This is beneficial both to athletes practicing on synthetic turf fields, as well as homeowners wishing to enjoy their artificial grass yard during the summer months.
Alternative Infills have been growing in popularity over the past recent years for their comparable performance to traditional infill and environmental friendliness.

JW Nixon is known for its engaging teachers that genuinely care about their students and access to teams and organizations to get students engaged in multiple facets of their education. The public high school is located in Laredo, Texas, and home to the green and gold Mustangs.
This season the Mustangs went 7-1 in their district, and 8-3 overall. This includes wins against rival teams with much larger student bodies. Their strong competitive abilities will be helpful as the team moves to 6A status within District 29 for the Fall 2018 season. In an article published by LMT Online, Nixon Head Coach Antonio Villalo commented on the move to 6A competition: “We’re going to be facing really well-coached teams that have lots of strong and explosive kids that are way faster than us. That’s the world we live in. We just have to do our best to be ready for it. That’s our life for the next two years and we will make the best of it. The kids are fired up for the challenge. They are not scared at all. They are excited about the opportunity.”
Recently JW Nixon underwent vast improvements that were followed by resurfacing of the school’s football field. In 2016 Act Global worked with regional partner Vibra Whirl to bring a professional quality synthetic turf system to the facility. Vibra Whirl expertly installed the Act Global manufactured turf so that the Mustangs can perform at their peak, safely. The artificial grass is composed of balancing system components to improve foot stability and foot interaction with the surface, prevent ligament stress and allow safe starts and stops, and reduce player fatigue and injury. This is backed by over 100 laboratory tests.

Since 1974, this group of industry leaders sources critical and relevant information, guidelines, and resources for the betterment of athletic operations. SMA helps advance the technology and design utilized by stadiums so that both athletes and fans can benefit from an enhanced experience.
This year marked SMA’s 43rd annual seminar, continuing its legacy of bringing together top experts from all sectors of the stadium industry. The 5-day event from February 4-8 is currently being hosted in Coronado, California. The keynote speaker, Paul C. Zikopoulos, presented data showing how to use live event analytics to generate revenue and better engage fans. It is vital for the stadium industry to employ emerging sciences in Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), data science, and machine learning to create smarter, safer, and more entertainment venues.
Act Global Vice President John Burke attended the seminar both to learn from industry leaders what is sought after in a synthetic turf system and to educate others on the importance of constant R&D into the betterment of artificial grass. Act Global turf surfaces have more than 100 laboratory tests to verify performance and are benchmarked against top natural grass stadia for football, baseball, and American football.
