Ground covering for sports fields, equestrian grounds etc.

摘要

Ground covering made of rubber and/or plastic granules mixed with other materials, e.g. for sports fields, playing fields, equestrian sports grounds etc., in which: (i) the granules consist of recycled rubber and plastics which are free from all ferrous and non-ferrous metals; and (ii) the granules are mixed with at least one vaseline or glycerol additive. Preferably the mixture may be bonded cold or hot with a bitumen emulsion, and may contain sand and silica with a particle size of 0.2-0.9, and/or a film-forming binder based on styrene, acrylic resin or latex, and/or top soil. The mixture may also contain catalysts and/or a polyurethane adhesive. The percentage contents of the recycled rubber/plastics and other additives are determined by the technical requirements of the material to be produced and its intended application.
