Product Features
EPDM (Ethylene propylene Diene Monomer) is widely used as Safety Flooring at playgrounds to provide critical fall height protection for children on playgrounds. EPDM or Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer is an organic synthetic elastomer which has many properties equivalent to or better than those of natural virgin rubber, after curing. During the production of the elastomer, several additives are used to enhance colours and their stability. This assures that the colors are durable, flexible and can also stand the test of weather and time. All floorings are available in multi-color options, offering an amazing appeal and safety at the same time. EPDM flooring is extremely straightforward to install and even simpler to maintain. All these floorings are available with warranty and are sharp for outdoor and indoor use acknowledging that it is also weather resistant.. EPDM rubber systems can be used in high temperatures and even best revised for cold or humid exposed temperatures.

Technical Information
INSTALLATION METHOD:
❖ Ingredients for an EPDM Rubber Flooring.
The ideal thickness of EPDM Rubber Flooring is 36mm, consisting of Rubber Buffing of 30mm and EPDM Colored granules of 6mm.
❖ An EPDM Rubber Flooring has the following contents:-
● Rubber Buffing
● EPDM Colored Granules
● Binder
● Thinner
Preparing the Surface for EPDM Rubber Flooring
● As the saying goes “Cleanliness is next to Godliness”. Before conducting the task of laying EPDM Rubber Flooring, cleaning of the surface is essential. The proper steps are :-
⮚ Removal of debris.
⮚ Brooming the floor.
⮚ Cleaning the surface with water.
⮚ Keeping the surface dry
Application of Mixture.
● After the surface is cleaned and dried, a mixture of thinner and binder is applied on the surface.
Laying of Rubber Buffing
● The Rubber Buffing should be spread at equal portions and binder should be mixed properly to the Buffing. It is vital that the ratio of Binder to Rubber Buffing should be maintained. Otherwise the layer could be too hard or soft and may come out.
Design Marking
● Once the Rubber Buffing layer is semi dried, the desired design is marked with chalk. Design can be varied lines, waves, circles, flowers etc. The marking is important as different colored granules can be easily applied.
Application of EPDM Layer
● Once the design is chalked, chosen EPDM Granules are mixed thoroughly with Binder and laid as per the design. Again it is important to use the proper ratio of Granules and Binder. After the Colored Granules are laid, they are levelled with the tapping of wooden trowels and screed.
● After the work is complete, the flooring should be kept idle to dry for 4 to 5 days, depending on the weather.
INSTALLATION MATERIALS:
● Tape Measure
● Wooden Trowel
● Screed
● Chalk
● Bucket
● Mug
● Rubber Gloves
