10/20 Mesh Crumb Rubber
We make 10/20 mesh crumb rubber from quality truck tires at our plant in Galion, Ohio. It’s all-black material, and it’s wire-free.
This is a screened cut. The crumb passes a 10-mesh sieve and is held on a 20-mesh sieve. That mid-range cut is the size a lot of turf companies put in their specs for sports field infill.
If 10/20 isn’t what your job calls for, we also make 20 minus, 20/30 mesh, and 30 minus, plus custom sizes on request.
10/20 Mesh Crumb Rubber for Sports Turf Infill
In a synthetic turf system, crumb rubber sits between the fibers. It helps the blades stand up and changes how soft the field feels. A lot of turf companies use 10/20 mesh for that.
Play kicks rubber out of high-wear areas, so a lot of fields come back for a top-off. We can quote 10/20 mesh for a new field or to top one off.
See our sports turf infill page for more on field use and maintenance.
Rubber Infill for Football Fields
Football fields take the most wear between the hashes, at the goal line, and in the pocket. Infill gets thin in those spots first. When the depth drops, the field plays harder and the fibers can mat or wear faster.
G-max is the shock test used on finished turf fields. The result depends on the whole system: the turf, any pad under it, how much infill is in the carpet, and how well the field is groomed. A spec sheet for the crumb is available on request.
If you need a truckload of 10/20 mesh to build a football field or to top one off, tell us the quantity and the delivery location. We’ll quote what you specify.
Soccer, Lacrosse, and Baseball Field Rubber
Soccer and lacrosse wear down goal mouths and midfield. Multi-sport fields see traffic most of the year. We can quote 10/20 mesh for those jobs too.
Synthetic turf baseball and softball fields use crumb rubber infill in the carpet the same way a football field does. That’s usually a mesh grade such as 10/20. Coarser baseball field rubber, like 1/4 inch recycled rubber, is more common in batting cages and some practice areas. If you have a warning-track or infield spec, send it and we’ll tell you what we can supply.
How We Make 10/20 Mesh Crumb
At Galion, truck tires go through a primary shredder, a secondary shredder, and a cracker mill. Then we screen the crumb to size. The 10/20 we ship is wire-free and all black.
A spec sheet is available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 10/20 mesh crumb rubber?
10/20 mesh is a screened cut. The rubber passes a 10-mesh sieve and is held on a 20-mesh sieve. We make it from truck tires at our Galion, Ohio plant. It is all-black, wire-free crumb.
Is 10/20 mesh used as rubber infill for football fields?
Yes. 10/20 mesh is one of the sizes most often specified for sports turf infill, including football fields. Soccer, lacrosse, and multi-sport fields use it too when the turf system calls for that cut.
Can this crumb be used on a baseball or softball field?
On a synthetic turf baseball or softball field, yes, if the turf system specifies 10/20 mesh infill. Batting cages and some other baseball field rubber applications sometimes use a coarser size, such as our 1/4 inch recycled rubber. Send the spec if you have one.
Do you publish G-max ratings for 10/20 mesh crumb rubber?
No. G-max is a shock measurement taken on the finished field. It depends on the turf, any shock pad, infill depth, and how the field is maintained. We can send a spec sheet for the crumb itself.
How is 10/20 mesh crumb rubber packaged and shipped?
We package it in bulk bags or ship it in bulk loads. Orders go out by truckload nationwide. Tell us if you have a bag or loading preference when you request a quote.
