A VERSATILE MATERIAL WITH ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
Nowadays, when recycling and eco-consciousness are at the forefront, granulated rubber is becoming increasingly popular. The material is obtained by recycling rubber products; it offers versatile solutions across diverse sectors.
Granulated rubber is an ideal solution
Granulated rubber delivers innovative, sustainable, and economical advantages for a wide range of applications. Its robust versatility, long-lasting durability, and positive environmental footprint make it a key material for the future. Choosing granulated rubber means choosing quality and contributing to a more sustainable world.
What is granulated rubber?
Granulated rubber is a material made from old, worn-out tyres and other rubber products that have undergone a recycling process. This process involves collection, sorting, removal of impurities, shredding and grinding. After mechanical processing, rubber granules of various sizes are obtained. As part of the sorting process, it is sieved and sorted according to grain size into fine powder, small granules and larger pieces. It is then ready for further use in various industries.

Key properties of granulated rubber
Granulated rubber is an excellent material that, thanks to its properties, is used as:
- an insulating element effectively dampens noise,
- an anti-vibration element – reduces vibrations,
- an anti-slip element – provides a safe and stable surface for various applications.
Wide range of applications
One of the main advantages of granulated rubber is its versatility. It is used in many industrial areas and sectors such as:
- Construction: used as a filler material for soundproofing buildings, base layers of roads, or vibration insulation.
- Transportation: used in the production of noise barriers along highways, helping to reduce noise pollution near roads. It is also used as filler material in road construction to enhance the flexibility and durability of the pavement. Its anti-slip property is also important in transport, where it serves as a base for transporting machinery, metal structures, and other goods.
- Industry: used to manufacture various components such as sealing pads, mats, or floor coverings.
Granulated rubber is also widely used in other fields and sectors. It is frequently applied in sports fields and playgrounds, where it ensures a safe and flexible surface with low slipperiness, as well as in agriculture and gardening for surface protection, drainage systems, or mulching.
Benefits of granulated rubber
Granulated rubber offers a range of advantages making it an excellent choice for various applications:
- Ecological impact: recycling old tires significantly helps reduce waste and protect the environment.
- Durability and longevity: the material is highly resistant to weather conditions, UV radiation, and mechanical wear.
- Safety: the softness and flexibility of granulated rubber minimize the risk of injury on playgrounds or sports fields.
- Cost-effectiveness: granulated rubber is an affordable material with a long lifespan.
