Standing the test of time
Landscape Contractor Magazine|July - August 2024
AI Rubber is Australia's largest manufacturer and supplier of precoloured rubber granules and uses discarded Australian vehicle tyres as its raw material. Australian Sports and Safety Surfaces has used AI Rubber products for a very long time. There's good reason for that.
Standing the test of time

Designed specifically for Australia's harsh UV conditions, AI Rubber's CSBR precoloured rubber granules are uniquely coloured by tumbling for several hours in natural earth-oxide colour, building up several layers, so it won't come off or crack like imported pre-coloured rubber. A key benefit of CSBR is its exceptional colour durability even under prolonged UV exposure.

It's a recycled-tyre rubber product, so it also meets all the green initiatives, and, being made of recycled Australian tyre rubber, contributes to the circular economy while EPDM is a virgin rubber.

There are 18 rich, natural, earthy colour choices in CSBR, and 18 colour choices in premixed Carnival Fusion, with three price points.

Opal EPDM

AI Rubber is also the largest supplier of EPDM in Australia and New Zealand, and the product is custom made with a minimum content of 24 per cent EP, giving it good durability under Australia's extreme UV levels.

Opal EPDM is available in 18 exciting, vibrant colours in large batch volumes, and will outlast any other imported EPDM on the market.
