With the upgrading of urban greenways and leisure spaces, the paving materials for park trails are facing higher environmental and durability standards. As a new type of polymer material, sulfur free EPDM rubber granules, with their zero odor, high weather resistance, and food grade environmental protection characteristics, have become an ideal solution to solve the problems of fast aging and heavy odors in traditional paving, providing core material support for creating high-quality outdoor slow-moving systems.

Analysis of Applications and Core Advantages

Sulfur free EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) granules are high-performance elastomers formed by crosslinking ethylene, propylene, and diene monomers through a sulfur free vulcanization system. In the application of park trails, fitness paths, and children's activity areas, its technological advantages are transformed into intuitive use value:

1. Environmentally friendly and healthy, odorless

Traditional rubber granules often release odors under UV excitation due to sulfur content. Our sulfur free EPDM granules eliminate sulfur elements from their molecular structure, and even under high temperature and strong ultraviolet radiation, they will not decompose into sulfuric acid or produce odors. The product has extremely high environmental standards and can meet food grade hygiene standards, making it particularly suitable for elderly and children's activity areas that are sensitive to air quality.

2. Super weather resistance, with a 300% increase in lifespan

Thanks to the molecular structure stability brought by sulfur free technology, the anti-aging and anti-oxidation capacity of the product has been significantly enhanced.

-Extended lifespan: The service life is more than three times that of ordinary granules.

-Performance retention: In complex outdoor environments, the physical performance retention rate is increased by 5 times, and long-term use is not easy to pulverize or harden.

-Durable color: Excellent antioxidant function locks in color, and the granule color is bright and not easy to fade, ensuring the long-term beauty of the slope and trail landscape.

3. Excellent physical performance, balancing safety and texture

-High elasticity and crack resistance: The product's elasticity and tensile strength are increased by 2-3 times, reaching 4-7 megapascals, which can effectively absorb impact forces, protect pedestrian joints, and adapt to small deformations of the foundation without cracking easily.

-Three dimensional aesthetics: low granule packing density, distinct edges, and strong sense of three dimensionality. The paved road surface not only has excellent anti slip performance, but also has a full visual effect and a high-end texture.

-Strong temperature resistance: It has excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, and can maintain a stable physical form in both extreme cold and heat.

Customer Application Case: Ecological Park Trail Renovation Project in a Certain City

Project Background and Challenges

The park trail is 5 kilometers long, and the original paving materials have experienced severe fading and hardening after three years of use. In addition, they emit a pungent rubber smell during high temperatures in summer, which has been frequently complained about by citizens. The project team urgently needs a tasteless, durable, and aesthetically pleasing alternative material.

solution

The project party selected our sulfur free EPDM red and gray rubber granules (granule size 1-3mm). By utilizing the high elasticity and low density characteristics of the product, a breathable paving process is adopted, which not only ensures the permeability of the road surface, but also enhances the comfort of the foot feel.

Application effect

-Zero odor feedback: After the paving is completed, even when the surface temperature exceeds 50 ℃ at noon in summer, no odor is detected on site, and the satisfaction of citizens is extremely high.

-Landscape upgrade: The strong three-dimensional effect of granules and bright colors perfectly integrate the trail with the surrounding river scenery, becoming a local "internet celebrity check-in point".

-Durability verification: After one year of high-frequency use and wind and rain erosion, the road color has not decayed and granules have not fallen off, demonstrating excellent physical performance.


Product application areas


Choosing sulfur free EPDM rubber granules is not only a choice of paving material, but also a commitment to environmental friendliness and adherence to engineering quality.
