“After adding TCR to our sand/rubber synthetic field, my players gained their confidence back, – they can accelerate, cut, and jump at full speed again, even when temperatures exceed 110 degrees.”
— Brent Browner, Head Coach, Bishop Gorman – 2025 National Champions

So What Exactly Is Our New Patent-Pending Ceramic Infill?
What Is TCR?
TCR™ (Thermal Ceramic Reallocation) is a next-generation ceramic-based infill engineered to help manage surface heat, increase comfort, and improve the consistency of synthetic turf systems. Unlike coated sand, organic materials, or rubber, the TCR™ system uses a blend of porous and non-porous ceramic beads that absorb, redistribute, and gradually release heat throughout the infill matrix. This engineered thermodynamic response helps reduce localized heat spikes, stabilize the playing surface, and support athlete comfort during extreme temperatures — all while maintaining durable, non-toxic, and long-lasting performance.
Key Advantages:
• Engineered for surface heat management and thermal stability
• Works dry or wet (evaporative cooling enhances performance)
• Helps create consistent traction, footing, and surface feel
• Inorganic, non-toxic, and resistant to breakdown
Key Benefits of TCR
TCR™ enhances the overall performance of synthetic turf by focusing on thermal balance and consistent playability. Its ceramic composition maintains shape under load, resists compaction, and remains stable during extreme weather — strengthening the turf system with every use. Because the beads are inert and inorganic, they do not absorb odor, degrade, or break down into dust.
