Colored EPDM rubber granules are synthetic rubber particles produced from ethylene propylene diene monomer. They are manufactured specifically for use in bonded rubber surfacing systems, where performance, color retention, and long-term durability matter.
These granules are used across sports facilities, public playgrounds, park pathways, pool surrounds, and equestrian arenas. The colored range gives specifiers and installers the ability to design surfaces that are both functional and visually defined — useful for zoning, safety marking, and aesthetic requirements on commercial and public projects.

EPDM as a base material holds color and structural integrity under prolonged UV exposure. Surfaces installed with these granules maintain their appearance through years of outdoor use without the significant fading or degradation that affects lower-grade rubber materials. This makes H13 granules a practical choice for permanent outdoor installations where appearance and performance need to hold long-term.
Weather changes — temperature cycling, moisture, and seasonal variation — have minimal effect on the material's core properties. Surfaces remain functional and stable across climates.
The granules produce surfaces with measurable give underfoot. When properly bonded and installed at appropriate depth, the resulting surface absorbs impact, which is directly relevant for playgrounds where fall protection is a primary design requirement, and for sports tracks where surface compliance supports athlete comfort and reduces fatigue.
The texture of a finished EPDM wet-pour surface also provides slip resistance, which is particularly important for pool surrounds, playground areas, and sports courts where wet conditions are common.
Color is consistent through the granule, not surface-applied, which supports long-term color retention in bonded systems.
H13 granules are compatible with standard PU binder systems used in wet-pour rubber surfacing, spraycoat applications, and multi-layer elastic surfacing systems. They can function as a top-wear layer or as part of a composite surface build depending on project specification. The granules are suitable for use by experienced surfacing contractors familiar with these installation methods.
EPDM rubber granules are widely used in athletics and sports facility surfacing. Running tracks, multi-use sports courts, and training areas benefit from the elasticity and surface consistency that a properly installed EPDM wet-pour system provides. The material supports high-frequency use in competitive and recreational sports contexts.
Playground safety surfacing is one of the primary application areas for colored EPDM granules. The impact-absorbing properties of the installed surface are relevant to fall height requirements in playground design. The color range supports the visual design requirements typical of commercial playground projects.
Park pathways, recreational zones, and public leisure areas use EPDM surfacing for its durability and low maintenance characteristics. The material handles foot traffic well and maintains its surface quality over extended periods without significant maintenance intervention.
The slip-resistant surface texture and water-resistant properties of EPDM make it a suitable material for pool surround applications where a non-slip, durable surface is required.
EPDM granules are used in equestrian footing systems. The elasticity and cushioning properties of the material are relevant for horse and rider comfort in arena surfaces.
Where specified, colored EPDM granules are used as infill material in artificial turf systems, providing cushioning and surface stability in synthetic grass installations.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) granules are a primary rubber product, manufactured to consistent color and quality standards. SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) granules are typically produced from recycled tire material. EPDM offers superior UV resistance and color stability, which makes it the standard choice for visible wear layers and colored surfacing applications. SBR is commonly used in base layers or applications where color is not a requirement.
Standard wet-pour and spraycoat systems use a polyurethane (PU) binder. The granules are mixed with PU binder at ratios specified by the surfacing system design, then applied and troweled or sprayed to the required depth. Binder ratio and application method affect the finished surface properties and should be determined based on the specific system and project requirements.
