Colour Coded Dots | IWF Colour Scheme | Eco-Friendly Recycled Rubber
Product Overview
The BP005-2 Crumb Bumper Plate combines the eco-friendly construction of recycled rubber with the instant visual recognition of colour-coded weight identification. Featuring bright EPDM dots in the official IWF/IPF colour scheme, these plates allow lifters, coaches, and gym-goers to identify load at a glance—eliminating guesswork and streamlining training.
Engineered from high-density crumb rubber with a stainless steel hub, the BP005-2 delivers extreme durability, low bounce, and odour-free performance. Tested to withstand 10,000–30,000 drops, these plates are trusted by professional athletes and commercial gyms worldwide.
Available in 5kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20kg, 25kg individual plates, as well as a 150kg set (pairs of each weight).
1. Colour Coded Identification – IWF/IPF Standard
The BP005-2 features a black crumb rubber base with vibrant EPDM rubber dots in the internationally recognised IWF weight colour code:
| Weight | Colour | EPDM Dot Colour |
|---|---|---|
| 5kg | White | White |
| 10kg | Green | Green |
| 15kg | Yellow | Yellow |
| 20kg | Blue | Blue |
| 25kg | Red | Red |
Why colour coding matters:
-
Instant recognition – no need to read weight markings
-
Training efficiency – coaches and athletes can assess load at a glance
-
Consistency – matches IWF/IPF competition standards, familiar to all lifters
-
Aesthetic appeal – adds visual energy to any gym environment
The coloured dots are made from EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber, a UV-stable material that resists fading, cracking, and weathering—ensuring long-lasting colour vibrancy even in high-use commercial settings.
2. Material & Construction
As a manufacturer, we control every aspect of material sourcing and production to ensure consistent quality.
Rubber Compound
-
Crumb rubber base: Made from recycled rubber granules (post-consumer and industrial sources)
-
Coloured dots: UV-stable EPDM rubber, colour-matched to IWF standards
-
Odour-free: Low-VOC formulation, free from toxic plasticizers
-
Hardness: Approximately 80 Shore A – engineered for controlled, low bounce
