Food contact grade sulfur free EPDM granules

In response to the stringent demands of the global high-end market for the safety and durability of sports flooring, we have launched the revolutionary 'Food Contact Grade Sulfur Free EPDM granules'. Traditional EPDM, due to its sulfur-containing components, is prone to decomposition and produces a pungent sulfuric acid odor under high temperature exposure, and is also prone to aging and fading. This product adopts innovative sulfur free formula and precision production process to remove sulfur from the molecular level, which not only completely solves the odor and toxicity hazards, but also makes the anti-aging, elasticity and color durability of granules achieve multiple leaps. We are committed to providing top-notch rubber flooring solutions that are truly non-toxic, odorless, durable, and meet food contact level hygiene standards for kindergartens, high-end communities, and professional event venues.

FAQ

Q1: What is "sulfur free EPDM"? What is the biggest difference between it and ordinary EPDM granules?   

A: During the production process of ordinary EPDM granules, sulfur is added as a vulcanizing agent, which may cause the finished product to decompose into trace amounts of sulfuric acid under long-term high temperature or strong ultraviolet radiation, resulting in a pungent odor. Our 'sulfur free EPDM' uses alternative technologies such as organic peroxides for cross-linking, completely free of sulfur components, and eliminates the production of acidic substances from the source, ensuring that the material is safe and odorless in any environment.

Q2: Why is it said that this product has reached the "food contact level"?   

A: This product has passed strict environmental and non-toxic testing, and its volatile matter, heavy metal content, and other indicators are far below the national standard limits. It does not contain harmful plasticizers or toxic additives. Its safety level is sufficient to meet the hygiene requirements for contact with food, especially suitable for kindergartens, children's playgrounds, and community fitness trails with extremely high environmental requirements.

Q3: Is the lifespan of these granules really longer?   

A: Yes, it is. Thanks to the stable molecular structure brought by sulfur free technology, the anti-aging performance and physical property retention rate of the product have been improved by more than 5 times. Compared to the 1-2 year service life of ordinary granules, the service life of this product can be extended to 3-5 years or more in harsh outdoor environments (depending on specific construction and maintenance conditions).

Resolve core issues

Odor problem: Solve the problem of pungent odors caused by high temperatures or poor ventilation in basements during summer.   

Maintenance challenge: Solve the frequent repair problem caused by traditional granules being prone to powdering and falling off.   

Aesthetic dilemma: solving the problem of rapid color fading and whitening under ultraviolet irradiation.

Typical application areas

High end kindergartens and international schools require direct contact with children's skin on the ground, with extremely high requirements for non-toxic and odorless materials.   

Municipal fitness trails&parks: Long term exposure to outdoor environments requires resistance to strong ultraviolet radiation and rainwater erosion.   

Professional sports venues require high resilience to protect athletes, while also requiring clear and durable marking lines on the venue.

Why choose us?

Project Name: Renovation of Playground for a High end International Kindergarten in a Coastal City

Customer background and challenges:

The ordinary red EPDM track originally laid in the kindergarten has experienced serious fading and whitening after only one year of use, and in the summer afternoon, the plastic field emits a noticeable irritating odor. Parents have complained continuously, and the kindergarten is facing huge safety pressure and rectification costs.

Our solution:

Recommend customers to use our food contact grade sulfur free EPDM granules (particle size 2-3mm, grass green+lemon yellow color combination).   

1. Material selection: Utilizing sulfur free technology to ensure zero odor release and safeguard the respiratory health of young children;   

2. Structural design: With a tensile strength of up to 7MPa, it ensures no cracking under frequent trampling;   

3. Color customization: Using high weather resistant pigments, customize lively color schemes to stimulate children's interest in activities.

Implementation effect:

After the completion of the project, no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were detected through on-site sampling by a third-party testing agency. It has been in use for 18 months now and has undergone two complete summer heat tests. The venue still maintains a bright color without any odor feedback. The person in charge of the park said, "Since we switched to these sulfur free granules, no one has walked with their nose covered during the parent open day anymore, and the color looks even better than when it was first laid out
