Granulated Rubber Media

Granulated Rubber Media
Granulated rubber media has been used for bullet traps for around 40 years and was first used in indoor firing ranges. Using sand indoors for bullet traps proved to be extremely dusty and would clog HVAC filters quickly. Shooting hot soft heavy lead rounds into Steel traps causes the rounds to temporarily plasticize when they strike steel and loses mass, turning to dust and clogging filters.
Media is a term used to describe an intermediate layer, other examples could be gravel, pea gravel over, ballistic sand (sugar sand, screened sand free of rocks or debris) over native soils or screened loam.
Ballistic Rubber has many different names as there is no standard industry nomenclature for the product. It is often called chip, chopped, shredded, cut, ball, mulch, berm rubber, etc.
Rubber intended for use at live-fire shooting ranges and bullet traps is colloquially referred to as “ballistic” which is just a fun way of saying it’s meant to be shot at. The best ballistic rubber media is 100% free of steel wire and fiber.
Unsurpassed Quality
CRS Ballistic Rubber Media, that is 100% free of steel wire, fiber and tread is a shredded by product of an engineered part which is made from SBR & Natural Rubber same as Tires, except without the steel wire, fiber and tread. The process is intentionally building a brand new product versus recycling an end of life tire.
