For shooting range owners and tactical training facilities, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s a liability. Traditional sand or dirt berms require constant maintenance and often lead to dangerous ricochets or airborne lead dust.
Ballistic Rubber Mulch is the industry-standard solution for modern, high-performance ranges.
Maximum Bullet Absorption
Unlike hard surfaces or shifting sand, ballistic rubber mulch is designed to “trap” rounds. When a bullet strikes the rubber, the material encapsulates the projectile, significantly reducing the risk of:
- Backsplatter and Ricochet: The soft, resilient nature of the rubber absorbs the kinetic energy safely.
- Lead Dust Contamination: By capturing the bullet whole rather than letting it shatter against a hard backstop, you reduce hazardous lead dust in the air.
The Benefits of 99.9% Metal-Free Rubber
At Recycled Rubber Products, our ballistic mulch is processed with extreme precision. We ensure our product is 99.9% metal-free, meaning your backstop is consistent, safe, and easy to manage during lead reclamation.
Operational Advantages
- Low Maintenance: Rubber doesn’t shift or “trench” as easily as sand, meaning fewer hours spent raking the berm back into place.
- Weather Resistant: Our mulch drains quickly and won’t freeze into a solid block, making it ideal for outdoor ranges in the Chicagoland area.
- Eco-Friendly: Using our mulch repurposes tires that would otherwise sit in a landfill, aligning your facility with sustainable practices.
