The Benefits !

1. Rubber mulch and resin are delivered to site in 10kg bags mulch and 25kg kegs resin. To mix, you can use paddle mixer and tub, a clean concrete mixer or ideally a forced action mixer. It can even mix by hand avoiding contact with your skin. You will also need gloves, trowel, depth block, cloth, funnel, measuring jug, bucket and a porous membrane.
    
2. Prepare the ground, flatten the soil as best you can. Lay the membrane over the soil area. Edging can be used otherwise the sides can just sink into a “V” trench at 45 degrees.
    
3. Prepare the bonded rubber mulch mix, place 1 x 10kg bag or 2 bags if you are blending colours in the mixer and start turning. Ensure a full measure of binder from the keg goes in a measuring jug. The ratio is 5:1 by weight or 5:1 by volume (1kg = 1.1liters). Add 2kgs of resin to each 10kgs of mulch. Let the rubber and resin mix for 3-5 minutes or until an even consistency is achieved. Pour straight from the tub or via a bucket to the area being worked on.
    
4. Use a block of wood to gauge a consistent depth. It can be tampered to the ground usually to 50mm. Do not compact/squash it. A two man experienced team could install in the region of 100sq metres per day.
    
5. Caution: ensure that the mulch is dry and stays dry during curing.
    
6. If you are leaving an edge to join to the next day, keep it jaggered so that lines are not obvious to the eye.

Disclaimer: This system is designed to be installed for a wide variety of applications, subject to the performance requirements for your particular application and your existing site conditions, the degrees of preparation may vary. Coastal areas can be problematic with the salty air reacting with the coloured coatings. Also busy airport flightpaths can have atmospheric fuel solvents accelerating the breakdown of the environmentaly friendly colour mulch coatings. The result can be that after just a few years black from the rubber can start rubbing off (This does not happen with wetpour). This can be treated through either applying the sealer Q-pol we also provide or a layer of coloured alipathic primer.
