Sports Field Industry

TURFS-1.0~2.5mm

Today, news regarding the use of granulated rubber in the sports field is represented by the fact that THE GAME OF SOCCER, FOOTBALL, and RUGBY are finally accepting the novelty of synthetic pitches to solve the ever-increasing frequency of problems highlighted by pitches over most of Europe and rest of the world. The pitches realized with artificial grass, placed over a sand layer and a layer of rubber granules, perfectly meets special technical and performance requirements. In fact, this silting method offers underground draining features that eliminate water stagnation, making the pitch usable at all times, resulting in green pitches, non-fading lines and few maintenance costs.

Mulch Landscapes

Colored Nuggets or Buffings

Mulch is steel free and is suitable for most landscape areas. Rubber Mulch does not attract insects. It will stay in place and will not wash away nor disintegrate. Air and water can easily flow through the rubber mulch, directly into the soil. The use of Rubber Mulch will eliminate new weed growth. Landscape rubber mulch provides a beautiful, long lasting, and virtually maintenance free mulch that will be enjoyed for years. The other goal of these urban fitting products is to eliminate, or reduce the chance of slipping and reduce the impact of a fall in areas where people usually run, jump, play, etc. Until recently this field of application was particularly widespread in Germany and Scandinavia, where the weather, very rigid regulations regarding safety, and high ecological-environmental awareness have been the reasons for its success.

Moulded Rubber

CIVIL FLOORING-8~20mesh

In the civil field, one of the most widespread applications is the production of rubber tiles, made to withstand wear and atmospheric agents. They are mainly used in amusement parks, swimming pool borders, sports areas, outside grade schools and cycling tracks. In the industrial field rubber granules are used to produce rubber flooring which, other than having specific hygiene (easy to clean and maintain) and safety (anti-slip, anti-shock) features, are also soundproof, with anti-vibration and insulating qualities. An interesting application of industrial flooring is represented by rubber flooring for bovine farms, to avoid discomfort caused to the animal by direct contact of the hoof with the concrete surface, the use of rubber surfacing as flooring and an under base is on the up rise, assuring more comfortable, hygienic conditions for the animal. In fact, rubber is softer, warmer, less porous and therefore cleaner and more hygienic than concrete.

Road Construction

ASPHALT AND BITUMEN-18~30mesh

The rubber granules coming from used tyres mixed to asphalt, give higher porosity that allows the drainage of rainwater from the surface, reducing water stagnation. Tyre adherence to the road surface is greatly improved, reducing the aqua-planning phenomenon to a minimum (sliding of wet tyres at high speed). It also allows a reduction in noise coming from the vehicle, and lessens the dazzling effect of lights. Only in the last few years, people have started to modify road bitumen by adding polymers, to obtain an increased performance in high module flooring and to produce well known draining and soundproofing surfaces. The stability and the features of the end product, which may contain up to 15% of the fine powder weight, depend on the type of bitumen and the preparation process.
