FILLER FOR ARTIFICIAL LAWN, AND ARTIFICIAL LAWN USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a filler for an artificial lawn, which is excellent in water retentivity, which prevents a surface temperature of the artificial lawn from increasing, and which is excellent in drainability, and the lawn using the same.SOLUTION: A filler for an artificial lawn includes particulate matter that contains porous ceramics, having a constituent obtained by burning a mixture of clay, a foaming agent and organic mud, as a component. A percentage of water retention is 15% or more, and a saturation water permeability coefficient is 0.1 cm/s or more. Preferably, the porous ceramics include 10 mass% or more of a calcium component to improve hydrophilic properties.
