Black solid color EPDM rubber granules

Black is a solid color. Every granule in the 55 lb bag is the same shade, so the finished surface reads as one even color. For a speckled, stone-like look, compare the mixed-color blends.

It can be used, but dark colors like Black absorb more heat in direct sun and can feel hot underfoot. Many pool decks use a lighter field color and keep Black for borders or inlays. Compare samples on site in afternoon sun before deciding.

Popular pairings are White, Heavy Orange and Grey. Use a contrasting solid color for borders, inlays or zone markings around a Black field. Check the pairing with physical samples, since screens do not show granule color accurately.

Black comes in 55 lb bags. The number of bags depends on the area and installed thickness, which your specification sets. Approved trade customers can get an estimate from the material calculator, then have the materials team confirm quantities. Order the whole job at once for the closest color match.

For any layer that stays exposed to sun, use UV-stable aliphatic binder so the color does not yellow. Aromatic binder suits base layers and covered work. Ask the materials team to confirm the binder and request the current data sheets. See the resin binder guide.

Yes. Request a physical sample of Black before ordering and look at it on site next to the paving, planting and building. Screens and printed charts can shift color. You can also try it in the rubber visualizer first.
