RAL 6005 EPDM Granules

RAL 6005 Moss Green is a deep, restrained dark green tone with excellent visual stability and dirt resistance in outdoor environments. When this classic color code is combined with peroxide-cured EPDM granules, it forms a functional material designed specifically for high-end sports surfaces and landscape paving. Our RAL 6005 EPDM granules use a sulfur-free peroxide vulcanization system, produce no sulfides, no odor, and are harmless to the human body. The C-C crosslinks in its molecular structure are more stable than those of conventional sulfur vulcanization systems, giving the granules excellent weather resistance and anti-aging capability, and maintaining stable color and elasticity under strong UV, high temperatures, and rainy climates. We are one of the highest-quality and most cost-effective EPDM granule manufacturers in China, able to provide free samples for testing to customers worldwide, and supporting RAL and Pantone color customization as well as various particle size specifications.

Our EPDM granules have excellent property of weather resistance....and more healthy because we use the method of peroxide sulfidation, there is no sulfur in our EPDM granules, hence It doesn't produce sulfides when exposed to sunlight, no pollution to environment, no odor and no harm to human body. We are one of the highest-quality and most cost-effective EPDM granules in China and the world, we'd like to send free samples for you to test.

What Core Problems Can EPDM Granules Solve for Users

For buyers and users of sports surfaces and recreational paving projects, the choice of ground material directly affects user experience, maintenance costs, and safety compliance. RAL 6005 EPDM granules respond to these needs from the following dimensions:

Odor and environmental compliance issues. Conventional sulfur-vulcanized rubber granules may release sulfur-containing odors under high temperatures or strong sunlight, which is particularly sensitive in enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces (such as kindergarten play areas, indoor gyms, and pool surrounds). Our peroxide vulcanization system eliminates sulfur components at the source, produces no sulfides, and releases no odor, meeting the requirements of venues with strict air quality demands.

Color durability issues. Outdoor ground materials face multiple challenges from UV, rain, and temperature differences, and fading and chalking are common pain points. RAL 6005 itself is a low-reflectance dark green that is visually dirt-resistant and does not easily show wear, and combined with the excellent UV stability brought by peroxide vulcanization, its color retention is significantly better than conventional products, reducing the frequency of periodic renovation or color touch-ups.

Service life and maintenance costs. The dissociation energy of C-C crosslinks in peroxide vulcanization is approximately 348 kJ/mol, far higher than the approximately 273 kJ/mol of C-Sₓ-C bonds in sulfur vulcanization systems. This chemical-level difference translates into practical resistance to thermo-oxidative aging and UV degradation, enabling the granules to maintain elasticity and structural integrity under long-term exposure, reducing the full life-cycle maintenance cost of the venue.

Adaptability under different climatic conditions. Export customers are particularly concerned about how materials perform in the climate of the destination country. The peroxide vulcanization network of RAL 6005 EPDM granules shows better heat aging resistance in high-temperature environments (such as parts of the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa); maintains good low-temperature flexibility in cold regions (such as Northern Europe and northern North America), and is not prone to embrittlement and cracking; and in rainy and humid climates (such as Western Europe, the UK, and Japan), the hydrophobic properties of EPDM itself combined with a stable crosslinked structure effectively resist hydrolysis and mold growth, extending the usable life of the venue.

Application Scenarios and Product Advantages

RAL 6005 EPDM granules are suitable for a variety of surface systems: various sports tracks and courts (athletic tracks, tennis courts, basketball courts, five-a-side football pitches), artificial turf infill systems (football fields, rugby fields, baseball fields), children's playgrounds and kindergarten safety surfaces, fitness trails and outdoor leisure areas, pool-side anti-slip surfaces, as well as raw materials for EPDM mats and rubber tiles.

The core advantages of the product are reflected in several perceptible aspects:

Elasticity and tensile performance. Peroxide vulcanization brings tensile strength to 4–7 MPa, with elasticity and tensile performance improved by 2–3 times compared with conventional products, providing more consistent impact absorption for sports surfaces and helping to reduce the risk of sports injuries.

Color consistency and customization freedom. As a standard color code, RAL 6005 allows us to achieve high batch-to-batch color consistency, while also supporting customization across the full RAL Classic range and Pantone color cards, accepting customer sample matching, and enabling multi-color combination matching to meet the design intent of different projects.

Flexibility of particle size specifications. We offer conventional particle sizes such as 0.5–1.5 mm, 1–3 mm, 1–4 mm, and 2–4 mm, and can also customize special specifications according to customers' construction processes or formulation requirements. Different particle sizes suit different applications: finer particles are suitable for spray coatings or artificial turf infill, while coarser particles are suitable for elastic cushion layers or rubber tile manufacturing.

Flame retardancy and safety performance. The product achieves a flame retardant rating of Level 1, providing additional assurance in public facilities and indoor applications with fire safety requirements. The low bulk density and strong angular three-dimensional shape of the granules facilitate uniform spreading and bonding during construction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between RAL 6005 EPDM granules and ordinary green-colored granules?

RAL 6005 is a standard color code in the German RAL color system (Moss Green), with a defined color value reference, unlike arbitrarily blended "green." Our products are produced with RAL 6005 as the standard color, combined with high color consistency control, making them suitable for projects with strict color specification requirements and facilitating color continuity when replenishing across batches.

Will peroxide-vulcanized granules soften or fade in high-temperature regions?

The C-C crosslinked network of peroxide vulcanization is superior to sulfur vulcanization systems in thermal stability. Under sustained high temperatures and strong UV environments, the molecular structure of the granules is less prone to fracture and degradation, resulting in stronger resistance to heat aging and UV discoloration. For high-temperature and high-irradiation markets such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia, this system is a more reliable choice.

Is the product suitable for use in children's playgrounds?

Yes. The product contains no sulfur components, releases no odor, produces no sulfide pollution, and is harmless to the human body. We can also provide relevant environmental test reports for customer verification to meet the material safety concerns of kindergartens and public play facilities.

What particle sizes can you provide? Can they be customized?

Conventional particle sizes include 0.5–1.5 mm, 1–3 mm, 1–4 mm, and 2–4 mm, and other specifications can be customized according to customers' construction methods or product formulation requirements. We recommend that customers inform us of the specific application scenario (such as artificial turf infill, track surface, or rubber tile manufacturing) before purchasing, and we will provide particle size recommendations.

Do you support color customization? What is the minimum order quantity?

We support RAL color customization, Pantone color card matching, and customer sample customization. The minimum order quantity is flexible and confirmed according to color and particle size specifications. You are welcome to send sample or color code information to obtain a quotation.
