COOLING FIELDS THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA SINCE 2016.
OUR SUSTAINABLE TPE INFILL IS MADE WITH 49% CORN/SAY AND IS THE LOWEST COST ALTERNATIVE INFILL AVAILABLE.
Guardian TPE Infill is a U.S.-made, sustainable, biobased turf infill designed for long-lasting performance. Its unique shape ensures ideal compaction, energy return, and ball control, while the closed-pore system reduces splash and maintenance. Engineered for consistent quality, it’s Class 1 fire-rated, flame-retardant, and dust-free—perfect for indoor use. Rainbow Trout Certified with a 1.18 specific gravity, it’s safe for runoff. Air-filled pellets enhance impact absorption and reduce abrasion.

OPEN-CELL BONDED POLYURETHANE FOAM THAT MINIMIZES ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT BUT MAINTAINS OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE.
The Guardain Shock Pad was designed for fast and easy installation, arriving in large 8′ x 300′ rolls to minimize seams and quick roll-out, all supported by expert guidance throughout the project. Prioritizing athlete safety, it features top-rated shock absorption to reduce impact and injury risks, a consistent playing surface, and compliance with key international safety standards. Its engineered design promotes effective evaporative cooling and water drainage, ensuring safe surface temperatures and compatibility with existing systems. Environmentally and budget-friendly, it’s made from post-industrial polyurethane foam, helping reduce waste, lower disposal costs, and is fully recyclable.
CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE
Provides uniform performance characteristics across entire field.
SUSTAINABLE
Cool through evaporation, reducing heat stress for players anf the environment.
IMPROVED PLAYER SAFETY
Critical impact reduction, reducing the risk of lower-body injuries.
WHY GUARDIAN TPE INFILL & SHOCK PAD?
We developed Guardian Bio-Based TPE Infill and Shock Pad as a clean alternative so that municipalities and consumers could feel confident about the infill exposed to their athletes, while enahncing the safety, performance, and longevity of their field.
The most popular infill for synthetic turf fields is created with crumb rubber (SBR) infill, which is made by grinding up recycled rubber car and truck tires. The rubber granules have been used on sports fields because of their shock absorption and elasticity. However, rubber is a complex mixture and is made by combining many different components, some of which possess toxic and carcinogenic properties. When the infill sits in the sun, it becomes hot and some of the heavy metals and fillers will leach out and emit toxins into the air. There has been speculation around whether recycled SBR rubber infill may give off toxins that are harmful to the environment and humans.
We saw the issues with crumb rubber and wanted to provide a solution for consumers to feel confident about the turf infill their athletes are exposed to. We put our scientists to work to create an alternative that’s clean, bio-based, and longer-lasting. Out of our US lab came our Guardian Bio-Based TPE Infill made with corn and soy oils.
