Advantages of Play Soft EPDM Protection
The following are the primary advantages of wet pour rubber surfaces:
Reduces the impact of falls (meeting the critical fall heights requirements)
Minimal Upkeep Simple to clean Suitable for all types of weather Laid in a variety of colors and patterns Rubber play surface that is long-lasting Wetpour surfacing can be easily laid into odd shapes.
When it comes to safety standards, design, and children's physical development, wet pour rubber crumb surfacing has a number of advantages.
While there are similarities between poured rubber and rubber tiles, poured rubber (or wet pour) appears to be more popular because it can include exciting designs and can be laid in any shape without waste.
Here at Soft Surfaces, we also offer blended wet pour colours should you wish to have a mixed colour installed. These blended wet pour colours look fantastic, and are available in many different colour choices, which include:
Earth Blend Wet pour
Fire Blend Wet pour
Water Blend Wet pour
50% Black and 50% Earth Yellow Wet pour
50% Black and 50% Dark Blue Wet pour
Wet Pour Graphics
When installing wet pour safety surfacing, many schools choose to brighten the area with a variety of coloured graphics.
These fun designs within the poured rubber playground flooring stimulate the children’s minds through games and educational activities.
A popular choice is to have the wet pour rubber flooring in black EPDM and then add coloured graphics. Designs for the various playground surface types can include many games such as:
Hopscotch
Educational activities
‘What’s the Time Mr Wolf?’
Number and letter grids
Footprints
Cartoon characters
Roadways
Phonics activities

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber granules from STARGUM are premium-quality synthetic rubber materials designed for creating high-performance sport and recreational surfaces. Made from virgin EPDM — produced under strict quality control — our granules deliver exceptional durability, elasticity, and weather resistance.
EPDM Color
Colorful and flexible granules are perfect for creating safe playgrounds, professional athletics tracks, and other sports and recreational surfaces. They also work well in public spaces.
We produce only virgin EPDM granules, meaning they come from primary production. Our standard range includes 24 colors of EPDM granules. We can also produce granules in other colors and sizes upon request.
EPDM Infill
EPDM Infill granules are designed as a topping for artificial turf. The rubber granules provide the necessary elasticity to the substrate, ensuring safe use of the artificial turf pitch. The topping also ensures that the artificial turf fibers remain vertical at all times. This prevents the turf from compacting or deforming, and maintains its appearance and functionality.
EPDM Infill is available in green, but can also be supplied in grey, brown, black or other colours upon request.
The granulate complies with the requirements of the FIFA Quality Programme.
TPV Colour
We offer TPE-V granules, a thermoplastic granulate for use on sports and recreational surfaces. This thermoplastic material offers unique advantages, including low bulk density and high UV resistance, the ability to be recycled and reused while maintaining its original parameters.
Colorful and flexible granules are perfect for creating safe playgrounds. A wide range of colors allows for the creation of imaginative designs.
TPV Infill
We offer TPE-V granules, a thermoplastic granulate for use on sports and recreational surfaces. This thermoplastic material offers unique advantages: in addition to its low bulk density and high UV resistance, it can be recycled and reused while maintaining its original properties.
TPV Infill granules are designed as a topping for artificial turf. The rubber granulate ensures the appropriate elasticity of the substrate, ensuring safe use of artificial turf pitches. The topping also ensures that the artificial turf fibers are always vertical. This prevents the grass from compacting or deforming, and preserves its appearance and functionality.
Our Premium EPDM Granules are high-quality, weather-resistant rubber granules engineered for outstanding performance in sports, leisure, and recreational surfaces. Designed to meet the highest standards of durability, UV resistance, and color stability, these granules deliver long-lasting functional and visual quality for applications such as playgrounds, running tracks, multi-purpose courts, walkways, and outdoor activity zones.
With an extensive palette of vibrant standard colors — plus custom color options available on demand — Melos EPDM granules give designers and contractors the flexibility to create practical yet visually engaging surfaces that enhance safety and aesthetic appeal. Each granule is produced with a high proportion of quality EPDM, ensuring improved physical properties, reduced fading and chalking, and a uniform finished appearance.
Highest weather resistance
Climatic conditions have changed worldwide, so that long periods of drought, intensive UV radiation, high ozone levels and heavy rainfall are no longer uncommon. Melos has responded to this by developing Premium EPDM granules that can withstand all weather conditions. This means greater durability of the floor covering and longer usage times, even in fall and winter. This is good for the environment and your wallet.
Maximum durability
Our premium EPDM granules are particularly durable thanks to the material composition and the use of the highest quality EPDM rubber. The floor coverings with Melos products have very good elongation at break and tensile strength in the top layer, which leads to greater stability and less cracking and edge separation.
Optimum bulk density
Our premium EPDM granules are characterized by a perfect balance of functional product properties and low bulk density. This means that the granules are designed in their particle size and form in such a way that the quantity required for the defined installation area is economically low. This minimizes costs for both the client and the installation company.
Consistent colors
Thanks to formulations optimized over decades and intensive quality controls, our customers can rely on the best possible color consistency. This results in a high-quality and homogeneous appearance of the floor covering.
