Bonded Rubber Mulch

Description

Rubber Mulch Safety Surfacing

Rubber Mulch Safety Surfacing provides a cost-effective, attractive and highly durable solution for playgrounds, parks and recreational spaces. Manufactured from recycled rubber materials, rubber mulch combines excellent impact absorption with a natural appearance, making it an ideal choice for projects requiring both safety and value.

The system is produced by blending colour-coated recycled SBR rubber shred and granules with a flexible, moisture-curing polyurethane binder. This unique combination creates a strong, resilient surface with a more consistent finish and improved durability compared to systems that utilise shredded rubber alone.

Rubber mulch is particularly popular for playground projects where budget considerations are important, while still requiring compliance with stringent safety standards and critical fall height requirements.
