All Star Playground Safety Surfacing - is loose-fill rubber granules, which have been colored, and is designed and engineered to meet and greatly exceed all CSPC (Consumer Safety Products Commision) and ASTM International (formerly American Society for Testing and Materials) safety guidelines for child playground safety surfacing. All Star Playground Safety Surfacing is available in a wide range of colors, which add beauty to any playground, backyard play area, jogging path or walkway. What is special about this material as compared to so many other granulated rubber products is that All Star Playground Safety Surfacing leave in some of the fabric cord of the tires which gives a certain amount of integrity lacking in other products. Similarly, the All Star Playground Safety Surfacing is screened with 3/8" and 7/8" screens which helps insure that unhelpful rubber and metallic dust and what are referred to as findings and that pieces too large to allow for a nice uniform application are not included. All Star Playground Safety Surfacing is easy to install and easy to maintain. It can be placed over any base surface. It is made of rubber and its permeability helps maintain a dry playing surface at all times without any costly drainage systems. Unlike wood mulch, All Star Playground Safety Surfacing does not decompose so it retains its fall protection factor without the additional expense of "re-topping" or tthe worry of having to wonder if it is time to re-top the playground. It also lasts for years and what could be wrong with that? |

Safety Guidelines - According to the CPSC and ASTM, in order to prevent concussions and more severe injuries, safety surfacing should have no more than 200 G's (i.e. acceleration due to gravity) and a head injury criteria of no more than 1,000 G's.All Star Playground Safety Surfacing, at six inch depth more than meets these minimum criteria height and HIC factors. At 70° F, the average nine foot drop height result is Gmax = 106 and HIC = 491.5. Even in sub-freezing temperatures, where an organic surface may freeze and harden due to water absorption, All Star Playground Safety Surfacing maintains its safety standards. It is also non-toxic and non-abrasive. How much All Star Playground Safety Surfacing covers what kind of area? And how much does all that rubber weigh? Here are some guidelins for figuring these things out. A cubic foot (CF) of All Star Playground Safety Surfacing weighs 27 lbs. Thus, each square foot of coverage at a depth of 1 inch weighs 2.25 lbs. Example: A project requiring 400 CF of All Star Playground Safety Surfacing is going to need 10,800 lbs (400 CF x 27 lbs per CF = 10,800 lbs). The material comes in one ton 2,000 lb bags or sacks with each bag palletixed on a 4'x4' pallet. The bags flop over th sides of the pallet and the overall height of the pallet with the bag in place is about 6 feet high. Availability: Allow 2 to 3 weeks for orders to be preparred in most cases. |
