EPDM granules are widely used in sports and playground surfacing because they deliver reliable cushioning, weather resistance, and long-lasting color for wet pour and recreational flooring systems. In this guide, you’ll learn what EPDM granules are, how to evaluate quality (UV stability, particle size consistency, dust level, and batch control), and how to specify the right size and color for professional projects.Sport Floor is among the largest EPDM granules manufacturers in Egypt and China, producing and exporting materials for international markets with procurement documentation available upon request (TDS/SDS and market-specific documents where applicable). Our EPDM granules are already exported to 47 countries, with proven project references in Argentina, Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and multiple African markets—supporting contractors, distributors, and developers who need repeatable supply and consistent results.

| Factor | EPDM Granules | SBR Granules |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Advanced synthetic rubber, UV and weather-resistant | Recycled rubber, usually from tires, less weather-resistant |
| Color | Multi-colored (red, blue, green, yellow, etc.), long-lasting | Mostly black, fades over time |
| Durability | High resistance to wear, cracking, UV | Medium durability, faster wear under sun & moisture |
| Shock Absorption | Excellent, protects joints and knees, ideal for intensive use | Good to medium, less protective over time |
| Ideal Uses | Professional sports courts, playgrounds, commercial areas | Public playgrounds, low-traffic areas, budget projects |
| Cost | Higher due to quality and color options | Lower, suitable for tight budgets |
| Weather Resistance | Handles heat, cold, rain, moisture, salinity | Best for indoor or light outdoor use |
| Installation & Maintenance | Advanced installation, low maintenance, 7–10 years lifespan | Easier installation, higher maintenance, 3–5 years lifespan |
| Appearance | Vibrant, professional look | Only black, less attractive for design projects |
| Safety | Superior protection, high shock absorption | Good, but less safe for heavy use |
Choose EPDM for professional, high-traffic, or outdoor/indoor projects where quality, durability, and safety are priorities.
Choose SBR for cost-effective, temporary, or low-traffic projects.
EPDM granules are always preferred for commercial, educational, and sports projects. SBR is a budget alternative with limited performance. Sport Floor guarantees EPDM granules with world-class quality, UV resistance, vibrant colors, and full after-sales support.
