Maximum running performance and optimal safety for athletes

Athletic tracks made with RUBAPRO EPDM granules tested by accredited laboratories, provide high levels of sport performance and player-surface interaction. 

They fulfil the requirements of EN 14877 - Synthetic surfaces for outdoor sports areas, the European standard specifying the requirements for polymeric surfaces installed in-situ for sports facilities. 

For top level athletics facilities, the installers should follow the requirements of the IAAF “International Association of Athletics Federations” while using our granules.

RUBAPRO EPDM granules are durable and weather resistant. With permanent elasticity, they minimize injury risks and they protect athlete’s articulations.

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

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

All systems can be tested according to EN 14877 “Synthetic Surfaces for Outdoor Sports Areas”, the European standard specifying the requirements for polymeric surfaces installed in situ for sports facilities. 

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

RUBAPRO outdoor systems can be easily installed. Thickness is determined according to user performance expectations. 

The installation can be realized 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! 

The lines that are used to identify lanes, starts, finishes are usually applied with a line-marking machine. Polyurethane based paintings are recommended. 

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

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

The choice of binder determines the lifespan of the entire system. 

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