ECHA has called for a total ban on plastic infill. If the EU adopts this ban, all synthetic turf systems will either be non-infill systems or systems that use natural infills. The low density of natural infills causes the infill to float if the turf system has poor drainage.
HATKO Eco Drain is designed with a special fusion technology that uses no coating. This allows fast and even drainage through the whole backing. In contrast, regular Latex or PU backed sytems only allow slow drainage through drainage holes.
While the high water permeability of ECO DRAIN prevents the migration of infills, the low water permeability of Latex and PU backed systems causes the natural infills to float.
