FlexCoat

FlexCoat is a protective coating system that is directly applied to the surface of poured-in-place rubber surfaces. Unlike other materials, FlexGround EPDM and TPV don't wear out completely; instead, over time, their tiny granules can loosen and separate from one another. This process is known as "granulation." As the granules separate, the top surface can appear thinner in high-traffic areas, creating the illusion of worn rubber. In reality, what's happening is that a portion of your play surface has lost some of these granules.

To prevent "granulation," the most straightforward solution is to apply a urethane top coat, much like how you'd apply a protective shellac to a coffee table. This top coat (or FlexCoat) effectively solidifies the granules once more, and your poured-in-place surface will regain a color close to its original appearance. Prior to applying the FlexCoat System, it's essential to clean the poured-in-place surface. In many cases, a simple power wash may be all that's needed to prepare the surface for the coating.
