Rubber crumb coating. Rubber crumb coating with own hands

Rubber crumb is a wonderful material,which has a wide range of applications. Due to the mass of positive qualities, its use is very effective when laying coatings. They are especially relevant in sports and children's playgrounds, as well as in industry. There is a bulk, tile and roll coating of rubber chips.

Rubber cover

Rubber crumb is a collection of pelletsof various shapes, produced from crushed and recycled automotive rubber, preserving the molecular structure and properties inherent in the raw material.

To obtain high-quality coating to itit is necessary to add a binder that consists of polyurethane. It gives the material elasticity and makes it possible to firmly adhere to the substrate. With its use, the rubber crumb coating is reliable, resilient and durable.

The material is produced by rolls or tiles. Coloring is done by adding different dyes. Coatings of crumbs have an uneven surface, which eliminates the possibility of slipping. Use them can be in any weather conditions, because the surface is not going to dirt and water.

Scope of application

An anti-slip, trauma-safe, wear-resistant rubber crumb coating is widely used for the construction of:

• gyms, stadiums, tennis courts;
• children's playgrounds;
• livestock buildings.

This material is also used in variousareas of industry. Rubber crumb is used in oil production in the production of mixtures designed to work wells. Apply it in the production of sports equipment, rubber products.

A wide spread of seamlessRubber crumb coatings in civil and road construction. When you add it to the asphalt, you get a high-quality material for sidewalks, roads. It is also used for the manufacture of products of various coatings: pavers, carpets, tiles, liquid floors.

Benefits

The coating, which includes an element such as rubber chips, has the following advantages:

• Stability. The material is resistant to temperature changes, bends and tears, ultraviolet rays.
• Wear resistance. Products made of this material have a long service life.
• Aesthetics. Thanks to a wide color palette and its combination has a beautiful, attractive appearance. It has a resistance to burn-out and exposure to aggressive media (alkalis, acids, solvents).
• Hygiene. On the surface there is no rot, mold, weeds, insects.
• Elasticity and safety. The material from rubber crumb does not emit toxic substances and is harmless to health. It has traumatic and shockproof, as well as anti-slip properties.
• Easy to clean. The coating does not shrink, the grass does not germinate through it. It is easy to clean, and in a closed room it is cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. Does not create problems when replacing a damaged area.

Stages of laying

In the article we will give an example of how to layLiquid rubber cover for the sports field. It should be noted that it can be used both indoors and outdoors.

In order for the coating to be of high quality,it is necessary to strictly observe the technology of its laying. At the beginning of the process it will be necessary to prepare the surface and perform priming. Further, the coating itself and the monolithic layer are laid. And at the end of the work, the marking and finishing lacquer layer are applied.

Surface preparation and priming

A sports coating of rubber chips usuallyapplied on a wooden, concrete or asphalt base. For good adhesion, the surface must be cleaned of dirt. If the base is concrete, it is wetted with water, ground, then the dust is removed with a vacuum cleaner. Work on the street is conducted at an air temperature above +5 degrees. As a result, after the end of the first stage, the surface should be clean, dry, slightly rough.

The next type of work - priming, which shouldensure good adhesion, soak, detoxify, harden the surface. For this use a primer ADV-46, ADV-56, ADV-17. Each of them has its own characteristics and purpose. The choice should be based on the conditions of applying a primer coat. After the end of this stage, you need to proceed to the next, the break should be no more than a day.

Laying of coating and monolithic layer

Rubber crumb coating with own handsperform is not difficult. If the work is conducted in the open air, you need to make sure that during the day after that there is no precipitation expected. A special mixture is being prepared. The calculations below are designed for a layer thickness of 0.1 cm in a section of 1 m². It will take: 7 kg of rubber chips, 1.5 kg of binder ADV-65, 0.3 kg of pigment. All components are mixed in a concrete mixer. The resulting mass is applied to the base covered with a primer. The area is leveled by rakli. Then roll it with a greased anti-adhesive roller.

If the coating is laid in a room,it will be necessary to apply a monolithic layer. It provides resistance to mechanical stress. First, the pad is covered with ADV-61 putty to close the pores. On it lies the reinforcing layer of the grid. After 24 hours the compound ADV-61 is poured. The thickness is 1.5-2.5 mm. Alignment is performed with a rakley and a notched trowel.

At performance of works the optimum temperature of air +20 degrees, humidity of 80%. Operation site is possible in a week after laying the coating.

The final stage

When the main work is done, on the sportscoating of rubber chips must be marked. It must necessarily be dry and clean. The air temperature during painting is from +5 degrees. Marking is performed by a mixture of such components: oligomer ADV-17, color paste, catalyst. Application is done by roller or brush. Consumption per 1 m² - 200 grams of the mixture. Staining should be done in two layers.

To ensure that the rubber coating is more resistant towear and had a beautiful appearance, 24 hours after laying it is covered with varnish ADV-63E. Application is carried out by a velvet roller in two layers. Consumption per 1 m² - 0,05 kg of varnish. Break between layers 3-6 hours.

Boldly lay a coating of rubber chips on sports grounds. This is an excellent option for operation for this purpose, and not only.
