EPDM Granules
Premium Rubber Surfacing Solutions
High-quality EPDM rubber granules and polyurethane binders for sports tracks, playgrounds, and recreational flooring worldwide. Trusted by contractors and facility owners across the globe.
What Are EPDM Rubber Granules?
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber granules are finely ground, high-performance synthetic rubber particles produced from virgin EPDM polymer. These granules are renowned for their exceptional durability, UV resistance, and vibrant color retention, making them the preferred choice for premium sports surfacing and recreational flooring systems worldwide.
Unlike traditional rubber materials, EPDM granules maintain their elasticity and appearance even under prolonged exposure to sunlight, extreme temperatures, and heavy foot traffic. When bound together with high-quality polyurethane binders, they create seamless, permeable, and shock-absorbent surfaces that meet international sports standards.
- UV-stable and fade-resistant for long-lasting color vibrancy
- Exceptional weather resistance from -40 to +80 degrees C
- Permeable surface allows water drainage, reducing puddles and ice
- EN 1177 compliant shock absorption for playground safety
- Lead-free, heavy-metal-free, and fully recyclable

Frequently Asked Questions About EPDM Rubber Granules
What is the difference between EPDM granules and SBR rubber granules?
EPDM granules are made from virgin synthetic rubber and offer superior UV resistance, color stability, and durability compared to SBR which is typically produced from recycled tire rubber. EPDM is the preferred choice for color-critical applications and high-performance sports surfaces.
How much EPDM granules do I need per square meter?
For a typical 10-12 mm thick EPDM sports surface, you will need approximately 10-12 kg of EPDM granules per square meter when mixed with the appropriate polyurethane binder at a ratio of roughly 6:1.
How long does EPDM rubber surfacing last?
Properly installed EPDM surfacing with quality polyurethane binder typically lasts 10-15 years with minimal maintenance. The UV-stable properties of virgin EPDM ensure color retention and physical performance throughout the service life.
Can EPDM granules be installed over existing concrete or asphalt?
Yes. EPDM rubber surfacing systems can be installed over sound concrete, asphalt, or existing rubber surfaces. The substrate must be clean, dry, structurally sound, and properly primed for optimal adhesion.
What colors are available for EPDM granules?
We offer over 30 standard colors including red, green, blue, yellow, orange, terracotta, grey, and black. Custom color matching is also available for larger projects. All colors are UV-stabilized for long-term fade resistance.
Are EPDM granules environmentally friendly?
Yes. EPDM granules are free from heavy metals, lead, and other toxic substances. They are fully REACH and RoHS compliant, and the porous nature of installed surfaces allows natural water drainage, reducing runoff.
