Australian Opal

|January - February 2025
AI Rubber continues to support the growing demand for durable and vibrant surfacing solutions across the region.
-
A1 Rubber is proud to announce its premium Opal EPDM is now fully stocked in all its east-coast warehouses: Melbourne, Sydney, and Queensland.
This strategic move ensures easy and efficient distribution, providing customers with faster access to high-quality EPDM designed specifically for Australia's extreme UV conditions.
High fade resistance
AI Rubber's Opal EPDM is specifically designed to withstand Australia's harsh UV conditions.
Unlike most EPDMs, typically manufactured for Europe and North America, AI Rubber's Opal EPDM offers superior resistance to free radicals generated by the ozone depletion above the southern hemisphere. Standard EPDMS often fade or develop a frosted appearance, caused by calcium carbonate (chalk) rising to the surface.
While the colour may temporarily return when wet, it fades again once dry.
Lasting value
