EPDM Yellow Rubber Granules for Playground Surfacing
Premium EPDM Colored Playground Surfacing / Safety Tiles
Made with high-performance EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, featuring a saturated polymer backbone that delivers superior UV resistance, ozone resistance, and long-term weather durability. Unlike standard SBR recycled rubber, EPDM resists cracking, hardening, and color fading even after years of intense sun exposure, maintaining its vibrant appearance and elasticity.
Key Advantages:
- Exceptional UV & weather resistance – retains color and flexibility for 10+ years
- Shock-absorbing and slip-resistant surface for maximum safety
- Rich, fade-resistant colors for lasting aesthetic appeal
Ideal for high-end playgrounds, kindergartens, parks, rooftop recreation areas, and outdoor sports facilities. The perfect combination of safety, durability, and premium aesthetics.
Premium EPDM rubber granules engineered for vibrant color, superior impact absorption,
and long-term UV stability — purpose-built for children’s playgrounds, park landscaping,
and high-traffic recreational surfaces worldwide.

Product Overview
Our Yellow EPDM Granules (Model FLY 201) are manufactured from premium
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer polymer, combined with high-quality UV-stable
pigments. The result is a playground surfacing material that keeps its vivid
yellow appearance for years — even under intense direct sunlight and extreme
weather cycles.
Available in five standard size grades from 0.5 mm to 4 mm, the granules
are designed for wet-pour installation, creating a seamless, cushioned rubber
surface compliant with EN 1177 impact attenuation standards.
Why Specifiers Choose FLY 201
01
Superior UV & Color Stability
FLY 201 passes 8,000 hours of accelerated UV exposure testing — roughly
equivalent to 10+ years of outdoor service. Pigments are locked into the
EPDM matrix, not surface-coated, preventing chalking or flaking.
✓ 8,000 h UV Report Available
02
Child-Safe & Non-Toxic
Free from heavy metals and hazardous substances. CE and RoHS certified.
Shock-absorbent surface reduces fall injury risk beneath play equipment —
ideal for kindergartens and public parks.
✓ CE & RoHS Certified
03
Fast, Reliable Delivery
Standard orders ship within 7 working days. Packaged in 25 kg bags,
40 bags per pallet — optimised for both LCL and FCL container loading.
Custom sizes available on request with minimal lead-time impact.
⚡ 7-Day Lead Time
04
Broad Temperature Tolerance
Remains elastic and crack-free from −45 °C to +105 °C, making FLY 201
suitable for projects in Scandinavia, the Middle East, and every climate
zone in between without seasonal reformulation.
✓ Global Climate Suitability

⚠ Installer Note
For surfaces with prolonged direct UV exposure (e.g. open playgrounds without shade),
specify an aliphatic polyurethane binder for the top wear layer.
Aromatic binders may amber slightly when exposed directly to sunlight.
Always confirm substrate moisture content is below 4% before application.
5 Tips for Specifying EPDM Granules
Always ask for the manufacturer’s accelerated UV weathering report. FLY 201 provides an 8,000-hour certificate — a meaningful benchmark that distinguishes premium from budget-grade granules.
1–3 mm is the most popular grade for playground surfaces and colour blending. Larger 2–4 mm granules suit high-drainage or thicker pour applications such as sports track base layers.
CE certification is mandatory for playground equipment in the EU; RoHS ensures restricted hazardous substances compliance. Request original documents for project submission files.
Each pallet contains 40 × 25 kg bags (1,000 kg). For large projects, order in full pallet multiples to reduce per-kg freight cost and simplify site logistics.
Yellow reads differently under different light and binder ratios. Request a 0.5 m² sample pour before committing to large volumes — it cures in under a day and eliminates costly re-dos.

Material Architecture: Why EPDM Outperforms SBR in UV Environments
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) owes its exceptional outdoor durability
to its saturated polymer backbone. Unlike SBR, which contains double bonds along
its main chain that are vulnerable to ozone and UV attack, EPDM positions its
reactive diene units exclusively in side chains — leaving the primary backbone
chemically inert to atmospheric degradation agents.
The practical consequence is a surface that does not crack, harden, or discolour
at the rate of recycled alternatives. For coloured playground surfacing — where
aesthetic longevity is as commercially important as structural integrity —
this distinction is fundamental.

Wet-Pour Installation: Chemistry Overview
In wet-pour applications, EPDM granules are combined with a two-component
polyurethane binder immediately before laying. The isocyanate component reacts
with moisture and hydroxyl groups on the granule surface, forming urethane
crosslinks that bond granules into a cohesive matrix.
EPDM Granules : PU Binder ≈ 85–90% : 10–15% (by weight)
// Exact ratio varies by granule size, desired hardness, and ambient temperature
// Aliphatic binder recommended for top layer (UV-exposed) applications
// Aromatic binder acceptable for base/sub-layer — lower cost, slight yellowing risk
Ambient temperature during installation should be between +5 °C and +35 °C,
with relative humidity below 80%. Low temperatures significantly slow PU cure rates;
high humidity can cause premature surface skinning. Always check substrate moisture
with a CM meter before pour.
