EPDM Rubber Granules | Green
EPDM rubber granules is a versatile and durable synthetic rubber material, renowned for their resilience and weather resistance. EPDM stands as the acronym for this synthetic rubber, crafted from ethylene, propylene, and diene monomer component. This composition attributes durability and flexibility. Here are the primary properties of these rubber granules:
- Weather Resistance: EPDM granules exhibit high resistance to extreme temperatures, UV rays, and harsh weather conditions. Ideal for outdoor applications.
- Chemical Resistance: They withstand numerous chemicals, oils, and solvents, ensuring prolonged stability across diverse environments.
- Durability: Recognized for their toughness and capacity to endure heavy use, these rubber granules boast longevity over time.
Properties & Application
EPDM rubber granules find application across several industries, particularly in surface flooring. They are commonly utilized in sports surfaces like running tracks, playgrounds, and outdoor flooring. This is due to their shock-absorbing and slip-resistant attributes. At Supersafe®, we manufacture these granules in over 25 colors, including red, green, blue, black, and more. This wide array allows for creative and customizable designs in flooring and other applications.
These granules is also considered as eco-friendly materials due to their recyclability and minimal environmental impact during production. Installing these granules involves binding them with suitable adhesives like Polyurethane/PU Binder onto surfaces. This provides resilient and protective layer. EPDM rubber flooring generally requires low maintenance, needing periodic cleaning to maintain quality and functionality.
We supply quality rubber granules in various sizes: 1-4mm and 1-3mm. Each size offers distinct advantages and applications:
1-4mm Granule Size
• Covering a slightly broader size range, the 1-4mm EPDM granules exhibit versatility across different applications. They are commonly preferred for outdoor surfaces such as playgrounds, running tracks, and sports courts. This is due to their ability to withstand heavy foot traffic while maintaining durability. Additionally, these larger granules excel in shock absorption, suiting locations such as playgrounds or athletic tracks. Their size also permits unique design options and patterns, providing surface aesthetic designs.
1-3mm Granule Size
• Slightly smaller, these rubber granules offer a finer texture than the 1-4mm variant. Often favored for indoor flooring solutions like gymnasiums, fitness centers, or indoor play areas. The smaller granule size results in a smoother, more even surface finish—ideal for areas desiring a flat, seamless appearance. Furthermore, the smaller size enhances binding properties, ensuring a more uniform and consistent surface when used with adhesives.
Both the 1-4mm and 1-3mm rubber granules retain essential properties like weather resistance, durability, and color retention. The choice between the two sizes hinges on specific application requirements, such as activity type, indoor or outdoor usage, and desired surface finish. Ultimately, both variants offer exceptional resilience and versatility, contributing to safe, durable, and visually appealing flooring solutions in their respective applications.
