    Synthetic rubber EPDM

    EPDM is the base material for EPDM granules. As a matrix material, EPDM holds everything together and is the main component that gives EPDM granules their properties and durability.

    Cross-linking agent

    Sulfur creates links between the single hydrocarbon chains of the EPDM and thus ensures the stable cross-linking of an EPDM granule. This cross-linking results in a stable, resistant and very elastic product.

    Filler

    The inorganic natural filler calcium carbonate (commonly known as chalk) affects among others the haptic experience of the finished EPDM granules, ensures optimal adhesion of the polyurethane binder and enhances the weight and volume properties of the granules.

    03_Gezolan_Filler_heap_WEB_smal

    Color pigments and master batches

    By adding color pigments and color master batches a fully dyeing of EPDM granules is achieved. The dyes are organic or inorganic, depending on the color.

    Paraffinic oil

    Paraffinic oil serves as a processing aid and for regulating the hardness of the finished granules.

    Paraffinoel

    Selected additives

    Depending on the requirements for certain properties, such as UV stabilization or fire-retardant properties, these substances are added.

    Durable
    At GEZOLAN, we guarantee the exclusive use of EPDM as the base polymer. This ensures an excellent cross-linking of the granules and guarantees best mechanical properties and durability.

    Optimal polymer content

    GEZOFLEX EPDM granules have a well-balanced polymer content of > 20 % pure EPDM. Thanks to this optimum price-performance ratio, our granules ensure a stable and resistant floor covering with long-lasting properties.

    Exclusively EPDM as polymer

    Different polymer types show different cross-linking behavior – depending on their type, quality and purity. GEZOLAN guarantees the exclusive use of high-quality EPDM as a suitable polymer to ensure excellent cross-linking of the granules. The use of EPDM as polymer is the second indispensable requirement for a durable product.

    High-quality ingredients and raw materials

    For better aging behavior and the best mechanical properties, GEZOFLEX is manufactured exclusively with the best EPDM, and with harmless ingredients and high-quality raw materials. In this way GEZOLAN can guarantee a durable product with impressive quality and long-lasting product properties.

    UV resistance and color fastness

    GEZOFLEX EPDM granules set the benchmark for color fastness and UV stability in colored granules. Color pigments of superior quality used in GEZOLAN EPDM granules result in long-term color fastness and resistance to UV radiation. The surface covering therefore remains colorful and attractive for a long time.
    Economical
    GEZOFLEX has the lowest dust content and bulk density of all EPDM granules on the market. This gives you a better coverage and lower binder consumption, which makes GEZOFLEX cheaper than comparable granules in the overall calculation.

    Minimum dust content

    The larger the dust content of EPDM granules, the more binder is needed during installation to achieve the required density and solidity. The low dust content reduces the proportion of binder that is needed, resulting in lower material costs!

    Better coverage

    GEZOFLEX EPDM granules have the lowest bulk density on the market, which provides for better coverage. The same amount of material can therefore be used for a larger area. In the final invoice for a project, this results in substantial savings.

    Lower bulk density

    Rubber granules and PU are purchased by weight. The installed floor covering, however, is based on the volume (surface x thickness). In the end, the costs are calculated per square meter.With Gezoflex you need less kg for the same area that leads to save money – despite a higher base price.
    Harmless
    All GEZOFLEX products are comprehensively tested and continuously monitored. In this way, we guarantee rubber granules for floor coverings that are safe for people and the environment, pass all external tests and meet all standard requirements.

    Tested and certified

    GEZOFLEX EPDM granules meet all current requirements and standards for the intended applications, including the stringent requirements of EN71-3 standard (“Safety of toys”). In addition, they are free from heavy metals, phthalates (plasticizers), halogen compounds and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
    Easy to install
    GEZOFLEX EPDM granules have an optimal sieve curve and a low bulk density as well as dust content. These properties allow a clean and easy installation, with lower material consumption and superior surface quality.

    Optimal sieve curve

    The optimal sieve curve of our GEZOFLEX rubber granules is proof of a well-balanced particle-size distribution within the selected granule size. This allows the floor covering to be optimally compacted and installed in order to achieve a very regular surface and the desired solidity.

    Low dust content

    The almost absence of dust makes processing of GEZOFLEX very pleasant for every installation team.  Surrounding areas neither have to be covered nor extensive cleaning is needed afterwards. This again saves time and money.
