29th Standard Colour: Chili Red Offers Even More Design Flexibility

Our portfolio of Premium EPDM Granules continues to grow:
Chili Red, one of the most striking and popular colours, is now available as our 29th standard colour.

This makes a shade that was previously used exclusively in the Polytan environment available worldwide for the first time—and expands our standard lineup with a true design alternative. Chili Red impresses with its intense, vibrant, and powerful effect and stands out clearly from traditional color standards.

As a visual eye-catcher, the colour creates new possibilities in the design of running tracks, multifunctional fields, and recreational facilities—with a presence that immediately catches the eye. Even from a distance, the shade ensures clear differentiation and a modern appearance.

From Exclusive to Globally Available

Until now, Chili Red was reserved exclusively for projects within an exclusive partner network. With its inclusion in the standard range, the colour is now part of the globally available Melos color palette. This means Chili Red will be available for projects in over 90 countries worldwide—without special approvals or minimum order quantities for custom colours.

Greater Freedom in Surface Design

With Chili Red, Melos is not only expanding its colour selection but also broadening the creative possibilities in the design of sports and recreational surfaces:

  • Expressive designs with high visual impact from a distance
  • Clear visual accents for modern facilities
  • Customized design beyond traditional colour schemes

EPDM Granules already offer a wide colour palette with high color brilliance, UV resistance, and long-term stability, ensuring that the visual effect is preserved over time.

Part of an ongoing product line development

With the introduction of Chili Red, Melos continues to expand its colour spectrum.
Following the recent addition of Berlin Blue, Gentian blue, Sand yellow, and Iron grey to the spectrum, this new shade now provides fresh design inspiration, particularly in the areas of track and field and multifunctional sports surfaces.

Colorful. Durable. Complete.
