loose fill rubber mulch

Loose Fill Rubber Mulch

Loose fill rubber mulch, often referred to as "rubber nuggets," is made entirely from recycled shredded rubber. This surfacing material is ADA-compliant and offers exceptional impact absorption, making it one of the safest loose-fill options available. Due to its superior shock absorption properties, only about half the depth is required compared to materials like engineered wood mulch to achieve the same level of fall protection.

Although the initial investment may be higher, rubber mulch can be more cost-effective over time than engineered wood fiber since it does not break down or require frequent replenishment. Additionally, it keeps play areas cleaner and free from splinters, as it does not produce dust, rot, or absorb water.

Advantages

  • Provides one of the highest levels of impact protectio.
  • Soft and splinter-free for added comfort and safety.
  • Does not decompose, reducing maintenance needs.
  • Non-toxic, clean, and environmentally safe without leaching into groundwater.

Key Specifications

  • Composed of 100% recycled tire rubber.
  • Metal-free, with less than 0.01% residual metal content.
  • Standard playground installations typically require a nine-inch depth of loose fill rubber.
  • Available in 50 lb bags, 1,000 lb bulk bags, or one-ton super sacks.
