Safe, colourful, odourless, non-toxic and long-lasting playgrounds

Seamless rubber safety surfacing made with RUBAPRO EPDM granules (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is suitable for both indoor and outdoor playgrounds. It is a durable and long-lasting solution.

The system allows creation of quality, colourful, safe, skid-resistant aesthetic surfaces. 2D and 3D designs can easily be integrated in order to obtain creative, eye catching functional spaces. With its odourless characteristic, the surfacing system is suitable for indoor use.

RUBAPRO outdoor system is water permeable, skid-resistant when wet even under snow and quickly dries after rain, playable again. Additional sealing process is recommended for indoor system.   

EPDM granules fulfill the stringent requirements of the EN 71-3 standard for “Safety of Toys” and REACH “Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals” regulations.

All systems can be tested according to EN-1177, European standard for impact attenuating playground surfacing. Surfaces fulfilling test requirements of this standard are considered to comply with the requirements for impact attenuation in EN 1176-1. By choosing safety measurement of Head Injury Criterion, HIC this method considers only the movement of the head when it hits the surface of the impact area.

Our EPDM granules are free of heavy metals, halogen compounds, phthalates, and PAH “Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons”.

RUBAPRO outdoor systems are easily installed. Thickness is determined according to the falling heights, please see playground manufacturer declarations. 

The installation can be realized by craftsmen trowel or by automatic elastic layer pavers. 

Thanks to its remarkable elasticity, the surfacing system absorbs safely the expansion and contraction of the existent surface, absorb vibrations, and permit soil movements due to earthquakes or ground settlement. It fills the cracks, eliminates blemishes of the surface. It is also a good self-leveling coating. It permits thermal contraction and expansion. No need to create sections. This is a real long-term and reliable seamless surface with a beautiful finish!  

EPDM rubber has better fire retardancy performances compared to SBR recycled truck tire. By using the appropriate polymer resins RUBAPRO EPDM granules can be used in almost any indoor projects. 

High-quality RUBAPRO granules retain their basic properties for years like optimal resistance to tearing, elongation at break, abrasion and elasticity. They have high polymer content (23-24%).

The choice of binder determines the lifespan of the entire system. As an example, rubber slabs manufactured in our plants by thermoforming process have a proven lifespan of 20 years. However, we recorded that the seamless surfaces created by some installers with the same granules resisted only 5 to 7 years according to climate and weather conditions. Repairing is possible.

Use RUBAPRO aqua granules for splash pads and pool decks. Aqua granules have better resistance to pool chemicals, salt water and UV.

RUBAPRO EPDM granules are dust free with high surface yield and economic.
