1/18/2022 – Is this crumb rubber similar to what you would get from the company that installed your turf? Could you send a sample of what your crumb rubber looks like?
Response From TJB-INC: Yes, this is the same material. It is used in synthetic sport and home turf all over the world.

8/7/2018 – I have a sports turf section at my school that is 150' x 15'. How much infill do I need? Do you ship to Illinois?
Response From TJB-INC: Yes we ship to all of North America including Illinois.
As far as how much you need, it will depend upon many different factors. Is the grass new or used? This would change the grass fiber length. Longer the length, the more crumb rubber is necessary. Do you mix the rubber with a ratio of sand? If yes, what is the ratio you use? Normally it is 1 - 2 lbs of crumb rubber per sqft. You have 2250 sqft of area to fill. You will need 1-2 super sacks. I would get 2 super sacks because you can always add more rubber if needed if you have extra on hand. It will disapear in the shoes of the players over time so you will need to re-add over time.

8/31/2017 – Did you receive any feedback from the people with the 8,640 sq ft dog agility field? I am in the same position so would like to try to find out how much rubber crumb it took for them to sufficiently infill their turf.
Response From TJB-INC: No, they never contacted us again. The amount needed depends upon length and stitch rate of the turf they purchased. New turf will require more than re-purposed turf that has been worn.
2/17/2017 – Hello,
Is it possible to get a freezer bag sample of the synthetic turf infill product.
Thank you.
Response From TJB-INC: Yes, we sell sample packs.
4/29/2016 – I'm building a new home. It's shaped in something similar to a large U. In the middle of the U will be my courtyard and pool. I'm just researching rubber decking vs. concrete patios and came across your website. Could I use this product with some sort of adhesive to cover my entire courtyard decking? Does it come in multiple colors? Can it adhere to crushed stone or do I need a concrete or wood base? Is it waterproof? (I ask because if I need a wood base could I just get away with adding non pressure treated deck and install this product on top of it?) FYI, I have about 4,000 sq. feet to cover. I really look forward to your answer! :0)
Response From TJB-INC: Yes you could mix with a polymer to bind the particles together. I do not have any idea which kind would work best for your application. You will have to research this. Our rubber crumb only comes in Black. You may want to use the large equestrian rubber we sell which is 1/4" sized particles.
12/9/2015 – I have an 8,640 sf artificial turf dog training facility. The blades are about 1". Our installer sold me on Zeolite infill (even though I wanted rubber) and it does not give adequate traction for our agility dogs. Given the blade size and existing sand infill how much rubber do you think we should put in to add traction and shock absorption but not lay on top of the blades? Thanks in advance for you answer.
Response From TJB-INC: I do not know the answer to this. I would suggest ordering a 50 lb bag and then do a measured test area (10' x 10') by adding a set amount of rubber crumb and then see if that amount is sufficient for the dog's traction. If not, keep adding more until you reach the correct amount. Weigh the remainder rubber crumb left in the bag. Once you have the correct formula, we can figure out exactly how much rubber crumb is need the the remainder of your facility.

7/27/2014 – I have a 30 x 30' area of crumb rubber (6-8 tons) that was used for for a playground area in the Salt Lake City, Ut, area. The playground equipment has since been removed. How do I get rid of the crumb rubber? It is clean. Can it be resold/recycled? Can you hire a vacuum truck service to remove it? Advice would be most appreciated.
Response From TJB-INC: You will need to check with your local public works dept to see what they can recommend on disposal of the crumb.
7/13/2014 – Can rubber crumb b used in place of sandbox sand for my children
Response From TJB-INC: I do not see why not.

4/3/2013 – I am looking to cover a 30X30 ft area for a play area in my yard. 1: do I have to treat the lawn with weed killer and/or put down a ground covering material before putting the rubber crumb? 2: how much product do you suggest I need to cover this area and how thick of a layer would you suggest?
Response From TJB-INC: If you currently have vegetation there now, a product like Round-Up will work good to kill all of it. Then I would put down a landscape fabric to allow the water to drain through but prevent the rubber from mixing with the soil below. Any breakthrough growth can also be controlled with Round-up.
As far as coverage goes, you have 900 sqft. The formula is: 1 cubic ft of crumb = 28 lbs. To cover 1 sqft 12" thick, you would need 28 lbs per sqft x 900'. To cover 6" thick, you would need you would 14 lbs per sqft x 900'. To cover 3" thick, you would need 7 lbs x 900'. If you need help with the math, let me know and I will help you calculate out the correct amount. ... TED
7/3/2012 – how much is the price of crumb rubber?
Response From TJB-INC: Prices are listed right on the product page.
8/23/2011 – I would like to get a sample of both the G1 and A1 crumb. How large is your sample size? Can I request at least a 5 lb. sample of each?
Response From TJB-INC: Samples are typically 1 lb. We do not have different sized samples. You could order 5 of each.
7/19/2011 – I need to know how much material you're talking about in your "sample." I want to experiment with this material to see if it is suitable for re-soling rubber shoes that have worn out (like those garden shoes that are so popular). Would there be enough material in the sample to try coating the bottoms of a pair of shoes?
Thanks,
Laurie
Response From TJB-INC: It runs about 1/2 lb
6/23/2011 – How many cubic feet is there in a fifty pound sack?
Response From TJB-INC: There is approximately 28lbs per cuft.
5/16/2010 – I am looking to obtain some of your crumb rubber in a consistency close to that of talcum powder, can you provide this? I would need 100 pounds to start with.
Response From TJB-INC: Sorry, we only have the A1 & G1. You might be able to put this material in a coffee grinder in little bits and grind it up to the size partical you need. I do not know of any company that manufacturers crumb that small.
4/21/2010 – i want to know about duty drawback rate on crumb rubber pls give me ans in detail

I asked the mill as well and we both do not know what a "duty drawback rate" is. Can you explain what you are asking? ... TED
12/16/2009 – Could I use the infill on my 60 oz. synthetic lawn that has thatching?
Response From TJB-INC: Yes. The particals are small enough to get down inbetween the "thatching" and will add additional softness to the surface.

5/28/2009 – could i melt the ruber to make a block??
thanks,
Joe
Response From TJB-INC: I would assume so. It would be cheaper to just get an old tire and melt that. Great question! Never had that one before.
