SPECIFYING QUALITY ORGANIC INFILL SYSTEMS
QUALIFICATIONS
1. Performance layer of infill matrix of the proposed system must be comprised of 100% fully organic
plant-based material of either 100% granulated cork or coconut husk or a mixture of coconut husk and
granulated cork.
2. If the performance layer of the infill matrix is comprised of 100% cork, the bulk density of the granulated
cork material must be between 0.20g/cm3 – 0.30g/cm3.
3. If the performance layer of the infill matrix is comprised of either coconut husk peat or a mixture of
coconut husk and cork, the bulk density of the material must be 0.16g/cm3 +/- 15%.
4. Organic infill material being proposed for this project must have third-party testing proving that the infill
material conforms to the European Toy Safety standard EN 71-3 (Part 3).
5. Synthetic Turf Manufacturer must have experience installing fully organic infill material with sand infill

ORGANIC AND SYSTEM INFILL QUANTITY
*Note that organic infill quantity differences are directly linked to the variance in bulk density between some of the above
mentioned organic products. The higher the bulk density of the material, the less volume it occupies per square foot.
** Coconut Husk and Coconut Husk/Cork infill mixtures need to be accompanied by a separate price for necessary annual
replenishment of organic material along with watering requirements, in order to keep the infill performing as designed.
1. 1.6" Fiber Height with a separate shockpad. Turf fibers must be tufted into a fibrous, non-perforated,
porous backing to allow for maximum drainage.
» 0.8 lbs per square foot of Cork-only infill with 4.5 lbs per square foot of sand.
» 1.5 lbs per square foot of Coconut Husk or Coconut Husk/Cork infill with 3 lbs per square foot of sand infill.
2. 2" Fiber Height with a separate shockpad. Turf fibers must be tufted into a fibrous, non-perforated,
porous backing to allow for maximum drainage.
» 1.25 lbs per square foot of Cork-only infill with 4.5 lbs per square foot of sand.
» 1.75 lbs per square foot of Coconut Husk/Cork infill with 3 lbs per square foot of sand infill sand infill.
