What is the difference between Virgin EPDM and SBR rubber granules?+
Virgin EPDM granules are manufactured from new ethylene-propylene-diene polymer with pigments throughout each granule, offering high elasticity, non-toxicity, and 8-10 years of color stability under intense sunlight. SBR granules are derived from recycled automotive tires (black) and are primarily used for cost-effective shock-absorbing base layers.
