Rubber granules for school yards

The seemingly unlimited energy of children has consequences well known to parents: bruises, strains, all sorts of little injuries. But at school they should be able to feel safe. At STARGUM, we manufacture EPDM granules for surfaces that combine seemingly contradictory traits: elasticity and durability.

EPDM granules for school yards present desirable properties. A wide range of constructions were built with its use, examples of which you can see in the References section.

Bright colours for the children’s imagination

Young people grow fast in bodies and mentality, which requires an environment where they don’t harm themselves and get stimulated. That means, for example, surfaces that are attractive to play on, soft to fall down on and durable to run on. Surfaces made of EPDM granules are perfect solution for for school yards. Our product EPDM Colour comes in over 20 standard colours, not counting the mixes. See the colour mixer to get a general idea of what various combinations look like.

After putting together EPDM granules and the binder, the surface can be levelled quite smoothly into desired shape. EPDM granules constitute safe rubber surfaces for schools, for both indoors and outdoors yards. They are softer than a typical carpet and much more dirt and stain resistant.

EPDM granules – material of the future

Our EPDM granules is a complex synthetic rubber. At our facility, we manufacture it in the form of small particles. Thanks to sieving, they come in three size ranges: 0.0-0.5 mm, 0.5-1.5 mm and 1.0-3.5 mm. They also differ in bulk density, as there is a varying amount of air trapped in between the particles. For the top quality, our materials come from primary production, not from recycling. Hence, the name is EPDM Virgin granules.

This material was designed primarily for sports facilities. It gives the athletes sure footing and withstands a lot of wear. At the same time, it cushions any impacts and causes less strain on players’ joints than hard surfaces.

Shock-absorbing surfaces made of EPDM granules for schools work similarly. Instead of helping the athletes in dynamic games, it protects the children in their games. You can acquire several colours of EPDM granules to design appealing and vivid surfaces where children would be more stimulated to play actively. It’s crucial for their physical development.
