Adhesives and binders

EPDM Granule Binder

Select the adhesive, binder or seaming tape together with the materials being joined and the approved system specification.

EPDM Granule Binder is a polyurethane-based system component used to hold coloured granules together in the wearing course of in-situ playground and similar resilient surfaces. Binder-to-granule ratio, mixing time, dry granules, ambient temperature, humidity, working time and cure directly affect the finished surface. For outdoor work, compatibility, coverage and performance—including colour and UV behaviour—must be confirmed through current system data and a representative trial installation.

Selection and technical review

State the turf backing, tape, granule or floor-covering type, substrate, environment and application area. Verify components, mixing ratio, consumption, pot life and curing conditions against the current TDS, and safety and storage against the SDS. Different chemical families are not automatically interchangeable.

Application and handover preparation

Check substrate preparation, compatibility, weather and application sequence against the technical instructions. Link trial application and batch records to project control; do not open a joint or surface to use before the specified curing and acceptance conditions are met. Seaming tape is not an adhesive on its own.
