For projects that demand perfect, lasting colour, our Aliphatic Binder is the ultimate choice. As a superior-grade, single-component binder, it is chemically formulated to be 100% resistant to the yellowing and ambering effects of ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This means that from the day of installation, the bright blues, vivid greens, and brilliant yellows of your EPDM surfacing are locked in and protected.

While the binding and curing process is similar to standard binders, its true value lies in its optical clarity and colour-fast performance. Using this binder is an investment in the long-term aesthetic of your play area, preventing the dulling or colour-shifting that can occur with lesser adhesives. For any project using light or brightly coloured EPDM granules, our Aliphatic Binder is the only professional choice to guarantee the surface looks as good as new for its entire lifespan.

Why Choose Aliphatic Binder Over Aromatic?

The choice is simple and depends entirely on the colour of the rubber granules you are using.

Choose Aromatic Binder for its cost-effectiveness when using dark-coloured rubber mulch (black, browns, reds). Its natural ambering effect goes unnoticed with these colours.

You must choose Aliphatic Binder (This Product) when using any light or brightly coloured EPDM granules (blues, yellows, greens, oranges, greys, beige, etc.). Using a cheaper Aromatic binder on these colours would cause them to develop a noticeable yellow/brown tint over time, ruining the aesthetic of the surface. Choosing Aliphatic binder is the only way to guarantee the long-term colour vibrancy of your EPDM surface.
