GEZOFLEX eco

The world’s first sustainable EPDM granules!

Discover the sustainable ingredients of our GEZOFLEX eco EPDM granules

The GEZOFLEX eco uses an EPDM blend that offers maximized sustainability and perfect performance. It consists of an EPDM rubber with a controlled and certified share of biobased raw material input, combined with an EPDM rubber of controlled reprocessed quality.

GEZOFLEX eco uses an innovative, renewable filler that is biogenic and bio-based.

GEZOFLEX eco only uses a premium oil that is 99 % bio-based and has a negative CO2 balance. However, it makes no compromises in terms of performance or technical properties.

Sulfur creates links between the single hydrocarbon chains of the EPDM and thus ensures the stable cross-linking of an EPDM granule. This cross-linking results in a stable, resistant and very elastic product.

By adding color pigments and color master batches a fully dyeing of EPDM granules is achieved. The dyes are organic or inorganic, depending on the color.

Depending on the requirements for certain properties, such as UV stabilization or fire-retardant properties, these substances are added.

> 90 % sustainable raw materials – no noticeable difference

GEZOFLEX eco…

… looks like normal EPDM granules!

… feels like normal EPDM granules!

… can be processed like normal EPDM granules!

… performs like normal EPDM granules!

BUT THE BEST THING IS:

It is made from over 90 % sustainable raw materials and thus makes the world a little bit better!

Together, the special raw materials in GEZOFLEX eco guarantee a total content of over 90 % sustainable ingredients. The raw materials demonstrate their sustainability through their following properties:

Biogen

Renewable

Negative CO₂ emissions

Biobased

Mass balanced

Careful extraction methods

In the course of running for the USDA BioPreferred® program, GEZOFLEX eco was furthermore tested for its measurable bio-based raw material content. Using the C14 radiocarbon method (in compliance with ASTM D6866), this refers to the renewable (non-fossil) content of the organic carbon (total organic carbon/TOC) contained in the product.

Independent analyses have confirmed that the EPDM granules contain 34 % biobased raw materials. This entitles GEZOFLEX eco to bear the renowned USDA Certified Biobased Product label (product category "Playground and athletic surface materials").

Analyses of the total carbon (TC), i.e. including inorganic carbon, show that GEZOFLEX eco even has a renewable carbon share of 45 %.
