How is EPDM Flooring Applied?

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) flooring is preferred as a long-lasting and safe flooring solution in various areas such as sports fields, playgrounds, walking paths, ship decks, and marina piers. Its durability, non-slip surface, and flexible structure provide impact protection while offering an aesthetic appearance.
When applied following the correct steps, EPDM flooring creates a durable surface that lasts for years. At Globsan, our experienced field teams provide customized solutions for each project, delivering long-lasting floors with the best application techniques.

EPDM Flooring Application Process

1. Surface Preparation

The surface is cleaned and cleared of dust, dirt, and moisture.
The smoothness of the existing surface is checked, and slopes are adjusted to prevent water accumulation.
Necessary corrections are made on different surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, or ship decks.

For maritime applications:

Rust and wear are removed from ship decks and yacht flooring.
Special marine primers are applied to prepare the surface for EPDM coating.

2. Primer Application (Bonding Layer)

A special primer is applied to the surface to ensure strong adhesion of the EPDM coating.
The layer, consisting of an ethyl acetate and polyurethane binder mixture, ensures the longevity of the coating.
Once the primer is fully dry, the next step begins.

Using primer enhances the adhesion of the EPDM coating to the surface, extending its lifespan and improving durability.

3. SBR Granule Base Layer Application (Shock-Absorbing Layer)

An 8 mm thick layer of SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber) granules is applied to the surface.
The granules are mixed with 18% polyurethane binder and compacted using a trowel.
This layer is typically black and provides shock absorption.
It requires approximately 10-15 hours to dry, during which the surface should not be walked on.

The SBR layer forms a flexible, impact-absorbing base for the EPDM coating.

4. EPDM Granule Top Layer Application

Colored EPDM granules, sized 1-3 mm, are mixed with 20% polyurethane binder.
Applied in a 5 mm thick layer, it is spread evenly over the SBR base and leveled with a trowel.
This layer can be applied in various colors to create decorative and functional designs.
Drying takes approximately 24-36 hours, and the surface should not be accessed during this period.

At this stage, unique designs can be created with different patterns and color combinations. Educational patterns for playgrounds, game lines for sports fields, and non-slip surfaces for ship decks can be applied.

5. Line Painting and Final Checks

For sports fields, special polyurethane-based line paints are used to mark game boundaries.
Quality checks are performed to inspect all sections of the flooring.
The EPDM coating requires approximately 72 hours for complete curing.

This final stage ensures that the area is fully prepared for use and that all necessary inspections are completed.
