Black Rubber Mulch 20kg

Black rubber mulch is a safe, strong and permeable rubber surfacing product for use around a range of recreational areas including play areas, playgrounds and parks. Each bag of mulch is made from recycled tyres before being coated in durable black PU coating to provide the mulch with a dark bark-like appearance. It is impact-absorbing, natural-looking and wheelchair friendly.

Rubber mulch for recreational areas

Rubber mulch surfaces are created by being mixed with a specifically formulated resin binder in a forced action mixer before being laid and levelled out in the area needed. It is simple to install with minimal disruption to existing ground. It can be installed on almost any level surface such as grass or soil. Mulch creates a soft, free draining and eye-catching protective surface which is suitable for use in a wide range of applications.

Maintenance tips for rubber mulch

To ensure it does not wear at an accelerated rate, we recommend following these maintenance tips:

• Only use the correct footwear on the surface (high-heels and studs can damage the surface),
• Sweeping leaves and other debris away from the surface,
• Routine cleaning using hot water (not boiling) and soap to mud whilst preventing moss, algae and vegetation build up,
• Removal of any singular weeds or plants by hand or groups of weeds using domestic weed killer but oil based weed killers must not be used.
• Re-coat the surface routinely to cover the mulch and prevent colour marking on users.

Please note: Due to normal wear and tear and UV exposure, over time all colour-coated products are likely to expose the base rubber. As a result, mulch may leave black marks on users if not recoated as part of maintenance. There are often variations in shade and shred size between mulch batches. Any orders of a single colour over 100 bags of mulch may be from more than one batch. For batch information refer to manufacture codes and dates marked on the pallet.
