Colored EPDM Rubber Granules H18 are manufactured for outdoor sports and safety surfacing applications. These granules are used as a surface layer or infill material in running tracks, playgrounds, sports courts, and public recreation areas. Unlike standard black rubber granules, the H18 series is produced in a range of colors, giving specifiers and contractors more design flexibility while keeping the same functional base as conventional EPDM rubber.
The material is engineered to hold its color and physical integrity when installed outdoors, where sun exposure, rain, and temperature swings are constant factors. It is supplied as a raw granule for use with PU binder systems in wet pour or spray coat installations.

The granules are available in a wide color range beyond standard black, which allows designers to create custom track markings, playground zoning, and multi-color court layouts. Color is built into the granule, not applied as a surface coating.
The material is formulated to resist fading and degradation from sun exposure. It maintains its structural integrity across varying weather conditions, which matters for surfaces that stay outdoors year-round without cover.
The granules provide cushioning that helps reduce impact stress on athletes and children using the surface. This is a core reason EPDM is used under running tracks and playground equipment rather than harder surfacing materials.
The rubber base gives the granules spring-back after compression, which supports repeated foot traffic and sports use without the surface losing its shock-absorbing function over time.
The granules are designed to work with PU binder systems, including wet pour and spray coat installation methods. This makes them suitable for layered surfacing builds where a base layer and a wear layer are combined.
We manufacture the granules in-house and supply direct to distributors, contractors, and OEM partners. This keeps batch quality consistent and allows for wholesale order volumes.
Colored EPDM Rubber Granules H18 are used across a range of outdoor surfacing projects, including:
The color range also supports functional design work, such as color-coding lanes on a track or zoning different activity areas within a playground or park.
Both are made from the same EPDM rubber base. The colored version goes through an additional coloring process so the granule itself carries color, rather than relying on a painted or coated surface. Functionally, they are installed and used the same way.
They are designed for use with PU (polyurethane) binder systems, which is the standard approach for wet pour and spray coat sports surfacing. Always confirm binder compatibility with your installer or supplier before ordering.
The granules are formulated for UV and weather resistance to reduce fading from outdoor exposure. Actual color retention over time depends on climate, installation method, and maintenance, so we recommend requesting sample panels for extended outdoor testing if color longevity is a project requirement.
