How resistant are products made from rubber granulate to chlorinated water?
The resistance of products made from rubber granulate to chlorinated water depends on several factors, such as the types of rubber used in the product or the chlorine concentration and duration of water exposure. For WARCO flooring, the following recommendations apply:
- All products can be cleaned using household cleaners that include chlorine.
- Products containing recycled tyre granulate (ELT) should not be soaked in chlorinated water.
- Products made exclusively from EPDM rubber granulate are permanently resistant to chlorine and are ideally suited for use at pool edges in public or heavily frequented indoor and outdoor pools.
- Products with an EPDM surface and an ELT base, recommended for swimming pools, can be temporarily exposed to low concentrations of chlorinated water.
