Soft Rubber Surface Consists of 3 Types of Rubber Crumb
TPV INPLAY is the next generation rubber granule for indoor and outdoor bonded sports and play areas. It offers much better colour consistency throughout, and superior UV stability to EPDM and colour coated SBR granules.
It is currently available in a range of 22 colours and offers both architects and installers endless possibilities for creative design when planning wet pour surfaces.
Our team of talented and highly experienced polymer scientists drive innovation at the rapid speed needed to help our customers keep pace with the demands of their ever-changing environments and open up new opportunities.
Brighter for Longer
The value of any project comes over many years, so the durability and lifespan of a synthetic rubber surface is key. However, exposure to UV light causes coloured rubber surfaces to fade and discolour.
The unrivalled UV resistance of TPV® sets it apart from other granules, ensuring surfaces retain their colour for longer, outlasting the best EPDM alternatives, even in the harshest environments.
Soft and Flexible
Weather conditions and UV
degradation cause EPDM rubber granules to lose their elasticity, making them unable to expand and contract with temperature changes.
Surfaces harden and become harsh to the touch, like gravel. Granules become loose. The performance, aesthetics, and safety of surfaces suffer, increasing maintenance costs and more importantly, the risk of injury.
With its unique formulation of TPV
TPV® is globally recognised for its long-lasting elasticity, remaining supple to the touch, even after extremes of UV ageing and sunlight.
Coloured Rubber Granules
TPV® is a brand name that stands for a unique 100% fully crosslinked and non-porous, non-spherical, polypropylene-free elastomer-based coloured rubber granulate, designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom.
TPV® is produced using a high-quality virgin polymer and has been formulated without the incorporation of sulphur, clay fillers, and heavy metals such as Zinc and Phthalate plasticizers.
TPV® offers excellent thermal stability and does not leach out carbon black or coloured pigments. Moreover, TPV® is UV stable and weather resistant, which means instead of embrittling with age or hardening over time, it remains supple to the touch even after extremes of UV ageing and constant sunlight.
EPDM
EPDM rubber (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber) is also a great coloured rubber crumb but a bit cheaper than premium TPV rubber granules
