The prefabricated rolled rubber track from Plubber differs from its competitors' rolled rubber. Plubber is able to solve defects of prefabricated track at the manufacturing stage. Plubber's surface has enhanced UV and wear-layer resistance, which makes it a true prefabricated surface when compared to other typical rolled rubber or cast-on-site products.
Due to differences in the environment in which the product is manufactured and installed, rolled rubber produced uniformly at the factory has better physical properties and the durability required for an athletics track. Rolled rubber is essential for elite athletic competitions such as the Summer Olympics and international track and field competitions.
Since 2018, the South Korea-based Plubber has applied for and registered a patent in Korea for processing joints at the manufacturing stage into a joint shape. Based on test and demonstration results showing that the tensile strength and elongation of the joints were improved, the warranty period is longer than that of the previous industry. Plubber has an eight-year warranty, while other industry products only offer up to five years.
Despite the advantages of rolled rubber, the market share of the overall athletics surfacing market is limited by the practical limitations of a higher installation price compared to the cast-on-site type, and the inherent disadvantages of the product, such as the shape of a roll, and seams opening due to extreme external climate change. Plubber's extended warranty, 8 years, makes rolled rubber surfacing a more appealing option given total cost of ownership.
As you can see from its name that it is a company specializing in materials (plastics + rubber), following its development of athletics tracks in 2011, Plubber is solidifying itself as a company specializing in indoor and outdoor rubber flooring materials, including indoor rubber flooring combined with PP film.
As a result of making a name for itself by attending exhibitions in the Americas over the past few years, Plubber is expanding its presence in the American market, starting with the installation of a walking trail in New York state and a a four-lane track at high school in Delaware in 2023.
