Colored EPDM rubber granules are synthetic rubber particles made from ethylene propylene diene monomer. The material is produced specifically for bonded rubber surfacing systems where color retention, outdoor durability, and consistent surface performance are required.
It is designed for use in wet-pour rubber systems, spraycoat applications, and layered elastic surfacing builds. The granules bond with polyurethane binder to form seamless, resilient surfaces suited to high-use outdoor environments.
Typical buyers include sports facility contractors, playground equipment suppliers, landscape architects, and surfacing material distributors. Supply is available factory-direct in bulk quantities.

Project-specific technical data available upon inquiry. Specifications may vary by application and system design.
EPDM holds color under prolonged UV exposure. Surfaces installed with these granules do not fade at the rate typical of lower-grade rubber materials. Color is consistent through the granule body, not surface-applied, which supports long-term appearance in permanent outdoor installations.
The material maintains structural stability through temperature cycling, moisture exposure, and seasonal variation. This makes H14 granules appropriate for outdoor surfaces in climates with significant weather variation.
Bonded EPDM surfaces provide give underfoot. When installed at appropriate depth with correct binder ratios, the resulting surface absorbs impact. This is a relevant property for playground surfacing where fall height protection is part of the design brief, and for sports tracks where surface compliance is a factor in athlete comfort.
The texture of a cured EPDM wet-pour surface is slip-resistant. This characteristic is useful for pool surrounds, playground zones, and sports courts where wet surface conditions are expected.
Color runs through the full granule, not applied as a coating. This supports long-term color integrity in bonded and installed systems.
EPDM rubber granules are a standard material in athletics surfacing. Running tracks, multi-use sports courts, and training facility floors use bonded EPDM systems for surface consistency, elasticity, and resistance to heavy use. The material suits both competitive sports environments and general recreational use.
Playgrounds represent one of the primary markets for colored EPDM granules. The impact-absorbing properties of the installed surface are directly relevant to fall protection requirements in commercial playground design. Color options support the visual requirements of public playground projects.
Park pathways, recreational zones, and public leisure areas also use EPDM surfacing for its combination of durability, low maintenance, and surface consistency under regular foot traffic.
Pool surround applications benefit from the slip-resistant surface texture and moisture-stable properties of cured EPDM systems. The material does not degrade under repeated wet and dry cycling.
Equestrian arenas use EPDM granule systems for footing applications. The elasticity of the surface is relevant to both horse and rider comfort in enclosed and open arena environments.
Where specified, colored EPDM granules are also used as infill in artificial turf systems, providing cushioning and stability within synthetic grass installations.
H13 granules are compatible with standard polyurethane binder systems. They are used in wet-pour rubber surfacing, spraycoat applications, and as wear layers in multi-layer elastic flooring systems. The specific binder ratio and layer depth depend on the surfacing system design and project performance requirements.
EPDM granules are a primary rubber product manufactured to consistent color and quality standards. SBR granules are typically recycled from used tires. EPDM offers better UV stability and color consistency, which makes it the standard choice for visible wear layers and colored surfacing applications. SBR is more commonly used in base layers where color is not a requirement.
Colored EPDM granules are typically specified for wear layers and visible surface applications. Base layers and shock pad systems in multi-layer builds generally use SBR or alternative materials. We can advise on the appropriate product for each layer based on your system design.
