What Are You Building?
Choose the application closest to your project. Each guide explains the main design considerations, material roles, and questions to confirm before specification or ordering.
Sports Track Surfacing
Project goal: Build a surface suited to repeated athletic use.Plan the Top Layer, Base Layer where required, EPDM Rubber Granules, and PU Binder around the track specification, substrate, climate, and intended level of use.
Explore Sports Track Surfacing
Playground Surfacing
Project goal: Create an engaging surface designed around the required impact-attenuation system.Confirm the critical fall-height requirement, tested system build-up, Base Layer, EPDM Top Layer, color design, and installation conditions before specification.
Explore Playground Surfacing
Pool Surround Surfacing
Project goal: Improve comfort and movement around wet areas.Review slip-resistance requirements, drainage, barefoot comfort, substrate preparation, water exposure, and the suitability of the complete surfacing system.
Explore Pool Surround Surfacing
Splash Pad Surfacing
Project goal: Create a colorful surface for active water-play areas.Coordinate drainage, water exposure, barefoot comfort, color zoning, cleaning needs, and the selected EPDM and PU Binder system.
Explore Splash Pad Surfacing
Residential Landscape Surfacing
Project goal: Combine resilient surfacing with the design of the outdoor space.Use color, curves, and material transitions to support pathways, activity areas, and landscape features while considering drainage and maintenance.

Recreational Trail Surfacing
Project goal: Plan a comfortable surface for repeated pedestrian use.Match the system direction to route conditions, drainage, climate, expected traffic, substrate, and maintenance requirements.

Turf Infill
Project goal: Select infill that fits the intended turf system and use.Confirm particle size, infill rate, pile height, color, maintenance plan, and compatibility with the turf system before ordering.
Explore EPDM Turf InfillPlan the Right EPDM Surfacing System
Start with the application, not the product alone. Users, substrate, climate, drainage, installation method, maintenance plan, and required performance all affect the material direction and system build-up. FieldsMaster helps customers connect EPDM Rubber Granules, PU Binder, and Base Layer options with the actual requirements of the project.
User and Safety Requirements
Define who will use the surface and which project-specific safety requirements apply. For playground applications, HIC (Head Injury Criterion) and EN 1177-related fall-height performance should be reviewed against the tested system build-up and layer thickness required for the project.
Expected Use and Wear
Consider traffic level, footwear, equipment, cleaning, and maintenance. Select EPDM Rubber Granules, PU Binder, and layer build-up around the actual use conditions. Applicable FieldsMaster EPDM Rubber Granules have DIN 53504:2017 test data, including 10.7 MPa tensile strength and 700% elongation.
Climate and Exposure
Review sunlight, rainfall, temperature range, water exposure, chemical exposure, and local maintenance conditions. Selected FieldsMaster EPDM Rubber Granules have 5,000-hour UV ageing test records.
Drainage and Substrate
Evaluate substrate condition, slope, drainage strategy, priming, and installation tolerances before finalizing the system. Where the system design and base construction support drainage, open-texture build-ups can help water move through or away from the surface after rain.
Color and Design
Use the FieldsMaster color range to plan zoning, wayfinding, graphics, and site-specific combinations. Start from 114+ standard colors, or discuss RAL and Pantone matching for replacement materials, local-market preferences, or project-specific design schemes.
Installation Planning
Confirm mixing, coverage, working time, ambient conditions, equipment, curing, and installer responsibilities for the selected system. FieldsMaster can provide relevant installation guidance and video support where available for the material direction you select.
Compare Application Needs and Material Direction
Use this section to compare the main project need, surface challenge, and likely material direction for each application. Final specification depends on the substrate, layer build-up, installation method, and market requirements.

Materials That Build the System
A reliable surfacing specification connects each material to a clear function — compatibility, coverage, installation conditions, and project requirements.
EPDM Rubber Granules
EPDM Rubber Granules provide the color and surface texture used across many Sports Surfacing and outdoor applications. Select the granule size, color, formulation, and quantity for the intended system rather than choosing by appearance alone.

PU Binder
PU Binder bonds EPDM Rubber Granules within the installed layer. Binder selection and consumption depend on the material, layer, climate, substrate, and installation method.
Explore PU Binder
SBR Granules
Some systems use a resilient Base Layer to support thickness, comfort, or impact-attenuation requirements. The appropriate Base Layer depends on the application, tested system build-up, substrate, and performance requirement rather than a single universal formula.
Discuss Base Layer OptionsEstimate initial quantities with the EPDM Material Calculator, then develop color directions with the Color Mixing Tool and review the EPDM Granules Color Card.
Manufacturing and Project Support
Production scale matters when it helps a project move from specification to delivery with clearer planning.
Manufacturing Capacity
FieldsMaster's 4 self-owned factories, 60,000 m² production base, and 600,000-ton annual EPDM rubber granules production capacity support clearer supply planning for projects of different sizes.
Color Options
Explore 114+ standard colors with RAL and Pantone matching for site-specific EPDM surfacing designs.
Application-Specific Material Selection
Select EPDM Rubber Granules, PU Binder, and Base Layer options around the application, substrate, climate, installation method, and project requirements.
Documentation for Project Review
For project review, FieldsMaster can provide relevant technical data sheets, available test reports, compliance-related documentation, color references, and sample support based on the selected material and application.
