A moisture holding material for blending with fill to form an engineered surface. The moisture holding material includes a first non-woven fabric coated in an aqueous superabsorbent polymer (SAP); a second non-woven fabric; fiber; and a fluff material that are chopped and applied topically within a surface, on various substrates including, but not limited to, rubber, sand, wood chippings, grass, soil, fiber, textile, clay or rock. A portion of the non-woven material is coated with SAP.

Engineered surfaces

The present invention provides for synthetic turf infill materials and methods of making such materials wherein the surfaces of the materials have been modified with hydrophilic properties. The various exemplary embodiments of the present invention include a method to modify the surface of synthetic turf infill through coating, crosslinking or other methods. The surface of the infill is modified to become substantially hydrophilic with low contact angles. The present invention also provides a process for producing surfaces with hydrophilic properties.

Method for cooling of synthetic turf

The present invention describes a synthetic turf having super absorbent materials in order to keep the synthetic turf cooler than conventional synthetic turfs. The present invention also provides for synthetic turf infill cooling particles comprising a layer of water-absorbing material coating a foundation comprising a core substrate. In one embodiment, the cooling particle is comprised of a core particle or substrate, which is coated with a water-absorbing material. In one embodiment, the water-absorbing material is a super absorbent polymer.
