EPDM is the base material for EPDM granules. As a matrix material, EPDM holds everything together and is the main component that gives EPDM granules their properties and durability.
Sulfur creates links between the single hydrocarbon chains of the EPDM and thus ensures the stable cross-linking of an EPDM granule. This cross-linking results in a stable, resistant and very elastic product.
The inorganic natural filler calcium carbonate (commonly known as chalk) affects among others the haptic experience of the finished EPDM granules and enhances the weight and volume properties of the granules.
By adding color pigments and color master batches a fully dyeing of EPDM granules is achieved. The dyes are organic or inorganic, depending on the color.
Paraffinic oil serves as a processing aid and for regulating the hardness of the finished granules.
Depending on the requirements for certain properties, such as UV stabilization or fire-retardant properties, these substances are added.
The foaming agent gives the granules a foamed structure and thus an outstanding bulk density.
LOWER MATERIAL CONSUMPTION DUE TO UNIQUE SCP TECHNOLOGY
SCP stands for «Swiss Cheese Principle»: similar to Swiss cheese, every single granule has tiny air holes/vents. This unique foam structure gives GEZOFILL outstanding sport-functional properties while reducing material requirements.
The unique structure of GEZOFILL granules ensures an outstanding bulk density and therefore lower material requirements per sqm. With the same weight, GEZOFILL achieves an up to 50% higher filling level than comparable non-foamed infill granules. Conversely, this means up to 50% less infill granules for the same filling level (depending on the overall system).
HIGH-QUALITY RAW MATERIALS AND MATERIAL BASIS
GEZOFILL EPDM granules are made from first-class raw materials and natural fillers. The sulphur-cured material is based on an EPDM rubber together with hand-picked additives of the highest quality.
100% virgin EPDM infill
Exclusive use of pure EPDM in excellent quality as the only polymer
Optimal proportion of > 20% pure EPDM for a stable and resistant product with long-lasting properties
OPTIMAL SYSTEM PROPERTIES AND PROCESSING
High-quality infill granules made of EPDM are the most important factor for the performance of a modern artificial turf pitch and guarantee the optimal sport-functional properties. Decisive characteristics, such as ball-roll and ball-jumping behavior, optimal damping properties and traction, or protection against injuries are largely determined by the quality and type of artificial turf infill.

Do you have further questions about the product advantages of GEZOFILL or would you like more detailed information about GEZOFILL?
GEZOFILL EPDM granules are only available in colors that contribute to the natural appearance of an artificial turf pitch. Due to their foamed structure, the GEZOFILL infill granules with the standard grain size of 0.5 – 2.5 mm have an excellent bulk density of approx. 480 g / l.
Other grain sizes and a non-foamed version of GEZOFILL are also available on request.

The GEZOFILL EPDM granules are used as infill granules on artificial turf pitches for Soccer, American football, Rugby and Baseball, as well as for other artificial turf ball play pitches and sports applications. The granules are filled in loosely in the artificial turf and ensure its optimal sport-functional properties.
Due to the special production technology behind GEZOFILL, the infill granules receive a unique open-pored, foamed structure. Thanks to this innovative rubber technology, GEZOFILL is characterized by its lower consumption and, at the same time, it achieves an exceptionally high elasticity. Thus, best sport-functional properties are guaranteed with less material consumption.
GEZOFILL is filled in loosely into the artificial turf and ensures its functional properties.
