Infill material for synthetic turfs and synthetic turfs so obtained

Infill material for synthetic turfs comprising a mixture of:

• between 40% and 95% in a percent volume of a defibrated arboreus material which is resistant to microbial digestion, wherein said defibrated arboreus material is selected from the group consisting of:
• a loose product from raw material based on coconut coir;
• a material obtained by pulped wood material obtained by a raw material with high content of lignin;
• between 1% and 15% in a percent volume of cereal husks.

Synthetic turf for sports or recreational activities comprising:

• a mat equipped with a first face that is adapted to be arranged on a surface to coat and with a second face opposite to the first face;
• a plurality of filaments of synthetic material knitted on said mat, said plurality of filaments of synthetic material protruding from said second side in order to form a turf;
• an infill material for said turf;
• wherein infill material comprises a loose material of vegetable origin, said loose material of vegetable origin being a mixture of:
• between 40% and 95% in a percent volume of a defibrated arboreus material which is resistant to microbial digestion, wherein said defibrated arboreus material is selected from the group consisting of:
• a loose product from raw material based on coconut coir;
• a material obtained by pulped wood material obtained by a raw material with high content of lignin;
• and
• between 1% and 15% in a percent volume of cereal husks.

A method for making a synthetic turf comprising the steps of:

• preparing a turf comprising a mat to which a plurality of filaments of synthetic material is connected, said mat equipped with a first face that is adapted to be arranged on a surface to coat and with a second face opposite to the first face, said plurality of filaments of synthetic material protruding from said second face;
• laying on said first face of said mat an infill material obtaining a synthetic turf;
• wherein said infill material comprises a loose material of vegetable origin, said loose material of vegetable origin being a mixture of:
• between 40% and 95% in a percent volume of a defibrated arboreus material which is resistant to microbial digestion, wherein said defibrated arboreus material is selected from the group consisting of:
• a loose product from raw material based on coconut coir;
• a material obtained by pulped wood material obtained by a raw material with high content of lignin;
• and
• between 1% and 15% in a percent volume of cereal husks.
