A Brief History On Rubber Safety Surfacing

Rubber surfacing dates back as far back as seventy years, and originates in Europe, where it was first developed for the athletic market. It's been used in the North America for a little over 25 years by a number of companies and still going strong. The rubber products were initially comprised of rubber granules, latex and cement. Today it has evolved into a high quality rubber and resin-based blend. Today's high quality EPDM rubber and strong bonding agent which contributes, strength, elasticity, and durability, has been installed in variety of demanding commercial and residential environments all over the world.

Gator Grip Safety Surfacing Commitment

Gator Grip Safety Surfacing represents the best and most advanced application of that evolution. Where there is opportunity to choose between a higher quality product or a cheaper, inferior component, we always strive to choose the best product that will further strengthen our commitment to excellent workmanship. Consider the following example.

The extrusion process of EPDM rubber consists of melting the raw materials, then laying out in roll form (layered) for curing, then granulated to desired spec. Peroxide is used to cure, which is far superior than sulfur curing for many reasons.

Sulfur curing (SBR) creates a product that has cured once and begins the process of "dying" and aging. This means the rubber will not retain its rubber like "softness" and color vibrancy over time. It is fairly relatively cheap as well, which is why a lot of manufactures use it.

Peroxide curing (EPDM) costs more in comparison, but maintains a "continuous bloom" over time as it does not fully cure for years to come. It maintains better color vibrancy and soft "bounce" over time and provides better adhesion between rubber granules.

Gator Grip Safety Surfacing uses only virgin EPDM peroxide cured rubber, unless otherwise specified by the client or application requirements. We also use the highest grade Aliphatic resin as a bonding agent, which is superior to regular MDI urethane, which can produce a temporary "yellowing" effect for a short period of time while it cures.
