Every batch of our EPDM granules maintains stable color fastness, excellent elasticity and superior weather resistance, supporting one-stop procurement and professional technical guidance for global clients.
Introduction of EPDM Rubber Granules
EPDM rubber granules have been commercially applied since 1963. Boasting excellent properties including corrosion resistance, superior wear resistance and outstanding ozone resistance, they are widely applied in urban streets, parks, landscapes, playground tracks, residential communities and many other scenarios in daily life.
As a high-performance rubber granular material, EPDM features a special molecular structure with an unsaturated main chain, endowing it with exceptional structural stability and resistance to cracking. When paved as the surface layer of sports tracks, it effectively maintains overall structural stability and avoids the formation of potholes and damage. At present, the market and application development of EPDM rubber granules are still in the initial growth stage with broad development potential.

What is difference between EPDM and natural rubber?
First of all, let's talk about natural rubber, which is a natural polymer compound, which contains about 90-95% rubber hydrocarbons, and the rest is non-rubber substances such as protein. Its advantage is that it is the most versatile rubber, which is basically related to it in many places; and EPDM is a copolymer composed of ethylene, propylene, etc., which is named after EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer). It is mainly stable in chemical structure. The taste of EPDM is different from that of natural rubber. Its heat resistance and anti-aging ability are stronger than natural rubber. It is generally used in building materials, sports floor materials, auto parts, etc.
Advantage of EPDM Rubber Granules
As we all know, the stability of EPDM is very good.
1. Good water resistance. Under the catalysis of high-temperature water vapor, natural rubber cannot keep its original state and will cause deformation. The outdoor weather may be cold or hot. The EPDM used on the runway needs to meet most of the climatic conditions. It has been tested by authoritative organizations at a water temperature of 120° The EPDM material soaked for one year has only a small change, and its volume is 0.3% larger than the original.
2. Good elasticity. As a raw material for sports materials, elasticity is definitely essential. After all, it is necessary to have good elasticity to reduce the risk of athlete's injury. It can also be maintained when the temperature is low.
3. Corrosion resistance. On the chemical level, due to the low degree of unsaturation of EPDM, it is not easy to be affected by normal chemical substances, such as normal acids, alkalis, oxidants and detergents.
4. The aging resistance is obvious. For long-term use of sports floor materials, durability is definitely a must. The outdoor or indoor temperature will not affect it. After testing, it can also pass at a very high temperature of 250° Use intermittently.
5. Electrical insulation. Since EPDM itself is also a rubber, it is electrically insulated. Therefore, the ingredients in the track and rubber floor mats have it, which proves that it is safe for people to use it normally.
FAQ
1. What makes a qualified EPDM granules manufacturer different from ordinary suppliers?
A professional EPDM manufacturer has independent formula R&D, automated production equipment, stable raw material supply and clear grade classification. UNISPORT strictly controls every production process from raw material screening to finished particle screening, avoiding color difference, poor elasticity and easy fading problems of low-cost recycled materials.
2. How long is the service life of UNISPORT EPDM granules?
Under normal outdoor use and standard construction, our premium EPDM granules can last more than 8-10 years without obvious fading or hardening. Standard grade can maintain good performance for 5-7 years, suitable for long-term public and commercial projects.
3. Can you provide custom color and custom particle size EPDM granules?
Yes. As a professional EPDM granules manufacturer, we support Pantone color matching, special dark color, bright color and personalized formula customization. We also adjust particle thickness and hardness according to local climate, ensuring adaptability to high sun exposure, heavy rain or cold weather.
4. Do you provide test reports for EPDM granules?
Certainly. We can provide complete material safety data sheets, SGS test reports to help you complete local customs clearance, project bidding and qualification review.
5. What is your MOQ and delivery time?
Regular colors have no high MOQ limit. Standard stock orders can be delivered within 15 days. We support full container bulk shipment and mixed container combined ordering with our other sports flooring products.
6. What is the rubber material used in playgrounds?
EPDM rubber granules. EPDM exists in many places. It belongs to soft rubber, which is comfortable to the touch, full of elasticity, and very durable. It is used in many parks, runways, sidewalks, backyards, playgrounds and other places.
