Rubber Particles
Rubber Particles for Sports Surfaces
Durable, Elastic & Eco‑Friendly Granules for Tracks, Courts & Playgrounds
From EPDM coloured granules to black rubber crumbs and recycled rubber – engineered for superior performance, safety, and longevity in every sports and play environment.
What Are Rubber Particles?
Rubber particles – also called rubber granules or crumbs – are small, elastic pieces of rubber used as the core component in many sports and recreational surfacing systems. They are produced from virgin EPDM rubber, recycled tyres, or other rubber sources, and are mixed with a polyurethane binder to create seamless, shock‑absorbing surfaces.
These granules are the building blocks of running tracks, basketball and tennis courts, playgrounds, fitness trails, and multi‑sport areas. Their elasticity, slip resistance, and weather resistance make them indispensable for any facility that prioritises athlete safety, child protection, and long‑term durability. Available in a wide range of colours, sizes, and rubber contents, rubber particles can be tailored to meet the specific performance and budget requirements of any project.
✔ Key Benefits
- 🛡️ Shock absorption – protects joints
- 👟 Slip resistant – safe in wet & dry
- ☀️ UV stable – no fading or chalking
- 🎨 Custom colours – EPDM variety
- 💧 Excellent drainage – no puddles
- ♻️ Eco‑friendly options – recycled content
Three Main Types of Rubber Particles
🎨 EPDM Coloured Granules
- • Made from virgin EPDM rubber – not recycled.
- • Available in red, green, blue, yellow, white, and custom colours.
- • Excellent UV stability and colour fastness.
- • Ideal for playgrounds, running track top layers, and decorative courts.
⚫ Black Rubber Crumbs
- • Produced from recycled tyres or virgin rubber.
- • Cost‑effective, high elasticity, and excellent shock absorption.
- • Commonly used as the cushion layer in running tracks and as infill in artificial grass.
- • Available in various sizes (0.5–4 mm).
♻️ Recycled Rubber Granules
- • Environmentally friendly – made from post‑consumer tyres.
- • Good elasticity and durability at an economical price.
- • Suitable for base layers, equestrian surfaces, and non‑critical play areas.
- • Helps reduce landfill waste and carbon footprint.

Why Rubber Particles Are Essential for Sports Surfaces
The elastic nature of rubber particles absorbs impact forces, reducing stress on joints and muscles – crucial for athletes and children.
The textured surface formed by rubber granules provides excellent traction, even when wet – preventing slips and falls.
High‑quality rubber particles resist degradation from sunlight, ozone, and temperature extremes – maintaining performance for years.
When properly installed, rubber granule surfaces allow water to drain rapidly and vapour to escape – preventing puddles and blistering.
Coloured EPDM granules can be combined to create patterns, logos, and multi‑colour designs – enhancing any venue.
Recycled rubber options reduce environmental impact while still providing good performance for less demanding applications.
