Childs Play SBR PouredinPlace Safety Surfaces

1
Childs Play SBR Poured-in-Place Safety Surfaces
2
Safety

• 70 of playground injuries are fall related!
  (source CPSC)
• Child's Play SBR surfaces exceed current
  standards for impact attenuation by up to 15
• Child's Play surfaces provide year-round
  resilience delivering safety and access to a play
  area, while reducing liability

3
Compliance

• Child's Play meets the accessibility and safety
  guidelines established by the American's with
  Disabilities Act (ADA)
• Child's Play meets U.S. Consumer Product Safety
  Commission (CPSC) safety guidelines
• Tested for impact and shock absorbing properties
  in accordance with ASTM F1292-99

4
Economy/Versatility

• SBR custom surfaces (comprised of 100 recycled
  rubber tires and pigmented binders). Savings of
  up to 30!
• EPDM custom surfaces

5
Performance/Guarantee

• Full 3 year guarantee against delamination,
  cracking, wear through, loss of resilience, and
  base settlement or failure
• Childs Play has over 10 years experience in
  surfacing systems

6
Industry Standards for Safety Surfacing

• ASTM F-1292 Industry Standard Child's
  Play
• gMax - max. allowable impact 200 gMax 175gMax
• HIC - meas. - Head Injury Criteria 1000
  HIC 975 HIC
• Warranty 6 to 12 months. 3 years
• Base warranty none 3 years
• Environmental concerns no yes
• Surface thickness 1/4" to 3/8 1/2" to 3/4
• Surface binder content 20 25

7
PIP Advantages

• Low maintenance
• Year-round use
• Does not freeze
• Water permeable
• Environmentally conscious
• Permanent
• No foreign contamination

8
PIP Disadvantages

• Initial price vs. sand, wood fiber, pea-gravel

9
Poured-in-Place Cost?

• EPDM premium cost Encapsulated with
  clear binders, color EPDM can increase the cost
  of a surface by up to 4.00/ft2
• SBR economical
• Childs Play SBR is encapsulated with colored
  binder
• PIP ALL WEATHER fall protection, reducing
  liability

10
Environmental Benefits

• SBR surfaces contain 100 recycled rubber
  particles
• EPDM surfaces use recycled rubber particles in
  the base mat only
• Polyurethane binders and unique and proprietary
  conversion methods allow reuse and recycle most
  existing bases within a playground, including
  sand and pea gravel

11
Discoloration?

• In 99 of cases, the binder used to coat EPDM
  crumb rubber will yellow shortly after being
  installed
• With exposure to UV light, EPDM granules oxidize
  and develop a thin white film
• Childs Play SBR is encapsulated with colored
  binder

12
Why Childs Play SBR?

• Designing surfacing systems with EPDM granules
  and extensive pattern and color choices can make
  the cost of a poured-in-place surface prohibitive
• Childs Play SBR surface colors are terra cotta
  and forest green, which are soft, earthy, natural
  colors

13
Why Childs Play SBR?

• Childs Play systems are engineered for
  performance, economy, and aesthetics
• Pigmented binders are specifically designed for
  playgrounds with added elongation and elasticity
• Pigmented binders add color to a surface and
  greatly reduces the degradation from ultraviolet
  light

14
Why Childs Play SBR?

• SBR surface is tough to tear
• SBR surface is much smoother than a granulated
  surface
• We use strand rubber particles that offer
  superior resilience and strength
• We install a 1/2" surface thickness
• More resistance to tearing and cracking
• Load distribution to the base
