RAL 6020 Chrome Green-Sulfur Free EPDM Rubber Granules

In today's pursuit of green building materials and high-performance surface layer materials, traditional EPDM granules face application limitations such as odor release and accelerated aging due to their sulfur-containing components. Our sulfur free green EPDM rubber granules adopt revolutionary sulfur free crosslinking technology to eliminate sulfuric acid decomposition products from the root, achieving true odorless and food grade environmental standards. At the same time, the molecular structure is more stable, the elasticity and tensile strength are increased by 2-3 times, and the anti-aging property and color retention rate are greatly enhanced. Whether it's sports fields, children's playgrounds, or high-end landscape projects, sulfur free green EPDM granules bring users a safer, more durable, and more aesthetically pleasing new experience.

FAQ

Q1: What is the core difference between sulfur free green EPDM granules and ordinary EPDM granules?

A: Ordinary EPDM granules use sulfur as a vulcanizing agent, which decomposes into sulfuric acid in high temperature or ultraviolet environments, releasing a pungent odor and accelerating aging. Our sulfur free granules are completely sulfur free, odorless, and have a more stable molecular structure, extending their service life by more than three times.

Q2: What is the specific level of mechanical performance of the product?

A: After testing, the elasticity and tensile strength of sulfur free EPDM granules are 2-3 times that of ordinary products, and the tensile strength reaches 4-7 megapascals. This means that the paved site is more impact resistant, less prone to cracking, and suitable for high-frequency use in sports fields and children's activity areas.

Q3: What colors and sizes are supported for customization? Is the minimum order quantity high?

A: We offer full-color customization, from basic colors to enterprise exclusive colors. The conventional granule size range is 1-4mm, and any specification of 0.5-6mm can be produced according to demand. The minimum order quantity is flexible, and small batch orders can also be quickly responded to.

Q4: Does the product truly meet food grade environmental standards?

A: Yes, it is. The sulfur free formula does not contain heavy metals or harmful volatiles, and has been tested by authoritative institutions to meet the hygiene standards for food contact materials. It can be safely used in environments with high environmental requirements such as kindergartens and pet areas.

What core needs can the product solve for you?

Venue odor problem: There is still no odor under high temperature and sun exposure, and it can be used safely both indoors and outdoors.

Frequent renovation costs: increase service life by three times, significantly reducing maintenance and re installation costs.

Fast color fading: The antioxidant formula makes the colors vibrant and long-lasting, and even after years of engineering delivery, they remain as new as ever.

Environmental compliance pressure: Meet various strict environmental standards to help projects easily pass acceptance.

Advantages and User Value

1、 Sulfur free technology: completely bid farewell to odor and aging problems

Traditional EPDM granules add sulfur during the vulcanization process and are exposed to hot oxygen and ultraviolet light for a long time. The sulfur gradually precipitates and oxidizes to form sulfuric acid, which not only produces an unpleasant odor but also catalyzes the breakage of molecular chains, leading to granule hardening and pulverization. Our sulfur free green EPDM granules adopt a new peroxide crosslinking system, which is completely free of sulfur elements, therefore:

No sulfuric acid decomposition products: After accelerated aging testing at 80 ℃ for 72 hours, the odor level remains at level 1 (no obvious odor).

Molecular structure stability: The retention rate of elongation at break is increased by more than 5 times, and the actual outdoor service life can reach more than 10 years.

2、 Mechanical performance leap: elasticity and tensile strength increase by 2-3 times

Tensile strength (MPa): 4.0-7.0

Tensile elongation at break (%): 400-600

Rebound rate (%): 45-55

Higher elasticity and tensile strength mean that the sports field provides stronger joint protection; The adhesive layer between granules and glue is not easy to peel off; Heavy equipment can still restore its original state after being crushed.

3、 Weather resistance and anti-aging: color brightness retention rate increased by 5 times

The product adopts a complex system of hindered amine light stabilizer and efficient antioxidant, combined with the inherent inertness of sulfur free substrate. After QUV accelerated aging test (3000 hours):

Color difference Δ E ＜ 1.5 (ordinary product Δ E ＞ 6).

There is no powdering or cracking on the surface.

Low packing density (about 0.65-0.75 g/cm ³), strong three-dimensional effect of granule edges, full visual effect after paving, and excellent anti slip performance.

4、 Excellent high temperature resistance

After being continuously placed in a high temperature environment of 120 ℃ for 48 hours, sulfur free green EPDM granules do not soften, flow, or change color. Especially suitable for high-temperature regions such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia, as well as rooftop stadiums exposed to summer sun.

5、 Food grade environmental standards

Through RoHS, REACH, and GB 36246-2018 "Synthetic Material Surface Sports Fields for Primary and Secondary Schools" testing, no heavy metal content was detected (below the detection limit), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were less than 10 μ g/g. It can be directly used in harsh scenarios such as food processing plant floorings and indoor activity areas in kindergartens.
