Fairmont Industries combines direct manufacturing capabilities with laboratory resources, product development and technical application expertise.

More Than 25 Years of Manufacturing Experience

Founded in 1998, Fairmont Industries has developed extensive experience in EPDM rubber granule manufacturing and synthetic sports and recreational surfacing.

Our experience covers not only the production of EPDM granules but also the practical requirements of playground, sports, athletic and artificial turf applications.

Following Fairmont's acquisition by Sport Group in 2017, our manufacturing capacity was expanded from 4,000 tonnes to 12,000 tonnes per year. This strengthened our ability to support larger projects while expanding access to additional technical expertise and resources.

Direct Manufacturing and Production Control

As a direct EPDM granules manufacturer, Fairmont has greater control over the production process than a company simply sourcing material from multiple third-party suppliers.

Our manufacturing operations are supported by dedicated production facilities, laboratories and research and development capabilities. This helps us maintain consistency in product formulation, processing and quality control.

For contractors and developers, direct manufacturing can be particularly important when a project requires a consistent product specification and dependable material availability.

R&D, Laboratory and Quality Control Capabilities

Our technical capabilities extend beyond production.

Fairmont's R&D and quality control resources support product development, manufacturing evaluation and quality assurance. Relevant EPDM products can be assessed according to characteristics such as particle size, tensile strength, elongation, hardness and density.

Product-specific technical data and safety documentation are available for relevant products and applications.

Technical Application Support

Selecting the correct EPDM granules is only one part of building a successful surfacing system.

Our application engineers can provide technical support relating to:

  • EPDM product selection

  • Wet pour system requirements
  • Installation considerations
  • Surfacing application requirements
  • Technical problem solving

This allows customers to work with an EPDM granules supplier that understands both the material and its intended application.

In-House Critical Fall Height Testing

Fairmont Industries has in-house capability for Critical Fall Height testing.

This is particularly important for playground safety surfacing because impact performance depends on the complete installed system rather than the loose EPDM granules alone.

Factors such as the base layer, wearing layer, binder, system thickness, substrate and installation quality can influence the final impact attenuation performance.

Our testing capability enables project stakeholders to consider the performance of the complete playground surfacing system.

EPDM Rubber Granules Manufacturing Capabilities

Fairmont manufactures EPDM rubber granules for a range of specialised sports, safety and recreational surfacing applications.

Depending on the product and intended use, manufacturing involves controlled formulation, pigmentation, processing and granulation to achieve the required physical and visual characteristics.

EPDM Rubber Formulation

Different applications require different material characteristics.

An EPDM product intended for an athletic track may have different requirements from an EPDM granule designed for playground surfacing or artificial turf infill.

The formulation and product selection should therefore consider factors such as:

  • Elasticity
  • Hardness
  • Tensile strength
  • Elongation
  • Durability
  • Granule size
  • Surface application
  • Weather exposure
  • Performance requirements

Coloured EPDM Granules

Colour is one of the major advantages of EPDM rubber granules.

Fairmont's Ecolastic® range provides coloured EPDM options for playgrounds, sports surfaces, running tracks and recreational developments.

Coloured EPDM granules can be used to create:

  • Playground patterns
  • Safety zones
  • Running track colours
  • School colours
  • Corporate branding
  • Logos
  • Themed play areas
  • Decorative recreational surfaces

Actual colour appearance may vary according to lighting and the installation environment, so physical samples should be reviewed before finalising major project specifications.

Granule Size and Particle Control

Granule size can influence installation, surface texture and the characteristics of the finished system.

Fairmont offers specialised particle sizes according to the intended application.

For example:

  • Ecolastic® PACE: 1.5–4.0 mm for athletic track applications
  • Ecolastic® SCORE PRO: 0.5–3.0 mm for artificial turf infill applications

Customers should select the appropriate product and particle size according to the requirements of the complete surfacing system.

Types of EPDM Rubber Granules We Manufacture

At Fairmont Industries, we manufacture specialised EPDM rubber granules for different sports, safety, recreational and outdoor surfacing applications.

Artificial turf systems can use EPDM granules as specialised infill material. Our Ecolastic® SCORE PRO is developed for football and sports turf applications, with a published granule size of 0.5–3.0 mm.

The appropriate infill product should be selected according to the turf system, application and required playing characteristics.

EPDM Granules for Sports Flooring

EPDM rubber granules can be incorporated into specialist sports and recreational flooring systems where resilience, traction, durability and appearance are important.

Product selection depends on the type of sports facility, surfacing system, expected usage and required performance characteristics.

When properly specified as part of a complete system, EPDM granules flooring can provide a resilient surface with good traction, durability and design flexibility for sports and recreational environments.

EPDM Granules for Wet Pour Rubber Systems

EPDM granules are widely used as the coloured wearing layer in wet pour rubber surfacing. A typical system may combine an SBR cushioning layer, coloured EPDM wearing layer and polyurethane binder.

The correct EPDM grade and particle size should be selected according to the complete system design rather than the granules alone.

EPDM granules flooring is particularly suitable for wet pour applications where a coloured, seamless and resilient wearing surface is required. The EPDM layer is normally installed over a suitable cushioning base and bonded with polyurethane binder.

EPDM Granules for Recreational and Decorative Surfaces

Coloured EPDM rubber granules can also be used in recreational, landscape and architectural surfacing where designers require a combination of resilience, durability and visual flexibility.

Available products, colours and particle sizes depend on the intended application and technical requirements.

What Are EPDM Rubber Granules?

EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, a synthetic rubber material widely used in demanding outdoor applications.

EPDM is known for its resistance to weathering, ozone and UV exposure. For surfacing applications, the material is processed into rubber granules that can be incorporated into resilient flooring, safety surfacing and specialist sports systems.

EPDM rubber granules are commonly used for:

  • Playground safety surfacing
  • Wet pour rubber flooring
  • Athletic running tracks
  • Sports flooring
  • Artificial turf infill
  • Recreational surfaces
  • Decorative and architectural surfacing

The appropriate EPDM grade should always be selected according to the intended application and the design of the complete surfacing system.

Key Benefits of EPDM Granules

UV and Weather Resistance

EPDM is widely used for exposed outdoor surfaces because of its resistance to UV exposure and weathering.

This makes EPDM granules suitable for applications such as playgrounds, running tracks, sports facilities and recreational areas.

Long-Term Outdoor Durability

Outdoor surfacing materials may be exposed to sunlight, rainfall, humidity, temperature changes and regular foot traffic.

EPDM is designed for demanding environments where long-term durability is an important consideration.

Colour Stability and Design Flexibility

Coloured EPDM granules provide significantly greater design flexibility than conventional black rubber surfaces.

The wide colour possibilities allow designers and contractors to create visually distinctive safety and sports surfaces while supporting project branding and design objectives.

Resilience and Cushioning

EPDM rubber contributes elasticity and resilience when incorporated into an appropriately designed surfacing system.

For playground projects, however, impact attenuation should always be evaluated based on the complete installed system rather than the EPDM granules alone.

These characteristics make EPDM granules flooring suitable for areas that require a balance of cushioning, surface resilience and long-term outdoor durability. However, the final performance depends on the complete flooring system and installation quality.

Surface Traction

The finished surface can be designed to provide suitable traction depending on the application.

Final performance depends on the combination of granule selection, binder, system design, installation method and surface construction.

EPDM Granules for Tropical's Climate

Tropical climate can place significant demands on outdoor surfacing materials.

High UV exposure, frequent rainfall, elevated humidity and high temperatures can affect the appearance and durability of unsuitable materials over time.

EPDM is particularly suitable for applications where weather resistance, outdoor durability and colour performance are important.

For playgrounds, schools, parks, sports facilities and recreational developments, coloured EPDM granules can provide a combination of resilient performance and design flexibility for demanding outdoor environments.

As an EPDM granules manufacturer based in Klang, Selangor, Fairmont also understands the requirements of projects operating in tropical and high-humidity conditions.



EPDM Granules Applications

EPDM Granules for Playground Safety Surfacing

EPDM granules are commonly used as the visible wearing layer in wet pour playground systems.

As an EPDM granules flooring solution, wet pour surfacing allows contractors to create seamless playground areas with different colours, patterns and safety zones while incorporating an appropriate cushioning system underneath.

Different colours can be combined to create patterns, play zones and decorative designs.

For playground projects, the complete surfacing system should be designed according to the required impact attenuation and applicable safety requirements.

EPDM Granules for Wet Pour Rubber Flooring

Wet pour rubber is a seamless resilient flooring system widely used in playgrounds and recreational areas.

A typical construction may include:

SBR base layer → Coloured EPDM wearing layer → Polyurethane binder

The SBR base layer is generally used to provide cushioning, while the EPDM top layer provides the visible, durable and coloured wearing surface.

The final system depends on the application, required performance, system thickness, substrate and installation method.

EPDM Granules for Athletic Running Tracks

Athletic track surfaces have demanding performance requirements.

Important considerations may include:

  • Shock absorption

Consider the following factors before specifying EPDM granules.

1. Identify the Application

Start by determining where the EPDM granules will be used.

Common applications include:

  • Playground safety surfacing
  • Wet pour rubber flooring
  • Athletic running tracks
  • Sports flooring
  • Artificial turf
  • Recreational surfaces
  • Decorative and architectural surfacing

Different applications can require different products and specifications.

2. Select the Appropriate Granule Size

Particle size can influence the installation process, surface texture and finished-system characteristics.

For example, Ecolastic® PACE is specified at 1.5–4.0 mm for athletic track applications, while Ecolastic® SCORE PRO is specified at 0.5–3.0 mm for artificial turf infill.

Always select particle size according to the requirements of the complete surfacing system.

3. Consider Colour Requirements

For playgrounds, recreational areas and decorative applications, colour can be an important design consideration.

Consider:

  • Project colour scheme
  • Safety zones
  • Patterns
  • School colours
  • Branding
  • Logos
  • Long-term colour appearance

Physical colour samples should be reviewed before approving colours for major projects.

4. Review Technical Specifications

Do not select EPDM granules based only on colour and size.

Depending on the application, review relevant characteristics such as:

  • Tensile strength
  • Elongation
  • Hardness
  • Specific gravity
  • Bulk density
  • Granule size
  • Weather resistance
  • Product formulation

The relevant specifications will depend on the selected product.

5. Check Binder Compatibility

For wet pour and other bonded systems, compatibility between the EPDM granules and polyurethane binder is important.

The binder, granules and complete system should be considered together rather than independently.

6. Consider the Outdoor Environment

Outdoor surfaces may be exposed to UV radiation, rain, humidity, temperature changes and regular traffic.

For projects in Malaysia and other tropical environments, consider the expected weather exposure and select an EPDM product appropriate for the intended outdoor application.

7. Confirm Testing and Certification Requirements

Some projects may have specific testing or certification requirements.

For example, athletic tracks and artificial turf systems may require relevant product or system accreditation, while playground projects may require impact attenuation assessment.

Confirm the applicable requirements before specifying the material.

EPDM granules are only one component of many surfacing systems.

The final performance can also depend on:

  • Base layer
  • Binder
  • System thickness
  • Substrate
  • Installation method
  • Installation quality
  • Maintenance

For playgrounds in particular, Critical Fall Height should be considered at complete-system level rather than based solely on the EPDM granules.

9. Request Technical Information

Before placing a commercial order, request the relevant product information, including technical specifications, available testing or certification information, safety documentation and application guidance where applicable.

10. Discuss Your Project With the Manufacturer

If you are unsure which EPDM granules are appropriate, provide your application, required colour, particle size, quantity, project location and technical requirements to the manufacturer.

6. What types of EPDM rubber granules does Fairmont manufacture?

Fairmont manufactures specialised Ecolastic® EPDM rubber granules for applications including playground and wet pour surfacing, athletic running tracks, sports flooring, artificial turf infill and recreational surfaces. Product selection depends on the intended application, required performance and complete surfacing system.



7. What EPDM granule sizes are available?

EPDM granule size depends on the product and intended application. For example, Ecolastic® PACE is available in 1.5–4.0 mm for athletic track applications, while Ecolastic® SCORE PRO is available in 0.5–3.0 mm for artificial turf infill applications. Customers should select the appropriate particle size according to the requirements of the complete surfacing system.


8. Can Fairmont supply coloured EPDM granules?

Yes. Fairmont supplies coloured EPDM rubber granules through its Ecolastic® product range. Coloured granules can be used for playground patterns, safety zones, running tracks, school colours, recreational areas, logos and other design applications. Available colours depend on the specific product and application.



9. Are Fairmont EPDM granules suitable for outdoor use in Malaysia?

Yes. Fairmont's EPDM products are developed for outdoor synthetic surfacing applications where UV resistance, weather resistance, durability and colour performance are important. EPDM is suitable for demanding outdoor environments such as playgrounds, schools, parks, sports facilities and recreational developments..



10. Can an EPDM rubber granules supplier provide material for wet pour playground surfacing?

Yes. Fairmont supplies EPDM rubber granules for wet pour playground systems. EPDM is commonly used as the coloured wearing layer, while the complete wet pour system may incorporate an SBR cushioning base layer and polyurethane binder. The finished system should be designed according to the required impact attenuation and applicable safety requirements.


11. Can Fairmont supply EPDM granules for large commercial projects?

Yes. As a direct EPDM granules supplier, Fairmont has manufacturing capacity of up to 12,000 tonnes per year and can support commercial, sports, recreational and large-scale infrastructure projects. Customers can discuss their required product, quantity, colour, granule size and delivery schedule with our team.

Yes. Fairmont manufactures AIRETHANE PU products, including polyurethane binders for relevant synthetic surfacing applications. Our combined EPDM granule and PU manufacturing expertise enables our technical team to assist with suitable material and binder considerations.

Yes. Fairmont's application engineers can assist with EPDM product selection, granule size, binder compatibility, installation considerations and surfacing requirements. This technical support helps customers select an EPDM product appropriate for their intended application.



14. Does Fairmont provide Critical Fall Height testing?

Yes. Fairmont Industries has in-house capability for Critical Fall Height testing. This is particularly relevant to playground projects because impact attenuation depends on the complete installed surfacing system, including the base layer, wearing layer, binder, system thickness, substrate and installation quality.



15. How should I choose between EPDM rubber granules manufacturers?

When comparing EPDM rubber granules manufacturers, consider manufacturing experience, product suitability, technical specifications, production capacity, quality control, available documentation, colour consistency, technical support and supply capability. It is also important to confirm that the selected EPDM product is appropriate for the intended surfacing system.



16. What is the difference between an EPDM granules manufacturer and an EPDM granules supplier?

An EPDM granules manufacturer produces the EPDM material and has direct control over its formulation, processing, quality control and production. An EPDM granules supplier may manufacture the material or distribute products produced by another company. Working directly with a manufacturer can provide greater access to product expertise, manufacturing information, technical support and production capacity.



17. What is the difference between EPDM and SBR rubber granules?

EPDM generally provides stronger UV stability, weather resistance and a wider range of colour options, while recycled SBR is commonly used as a more cost-effective cushioning or base material in wet pour systems. The two materials can therefore serve different functions within the same surfacing system.



18. How can I request EPDM granules pricing from Fairmont?
