COMPOSITION & MATERIALS:

Acorn Apartments ~ Oakland


Civic Center ~ San FranciscoPlayBound Poured-In-Place Playground Surfacing is certified by the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA).

PlayBound™ Poured-In-Place surfacing is a 2-layer system consisting of a basemat of 100% post-consumer recycled SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) and polyurethane and a top surface consisting of recycled post-industrial EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber and polyurethane.

LIMITATIONS:

The following chemicals may cause damage to the playground surface and should be avoided:  disinfectants, concentrated chlorine bleach, gasoline, diesel fuel, hydraulic and lubricating oils, acids and organic solvents.

In water play areas, pool surroundings and similar applications, dissolved materials and other chemicals (hydrochlorides) may cause surface discoloration over time.  This condition, should it occur, is not considered to be a product failure.

A yellowish shading of the top surface will be noticeable when using standard aromatic polyurethane binder to encapsulate some colors of EPDM granules.  This is an industry wide design issue.  An alphatic binder which does not produce this yellowish shading is available at a somewhat higher cost.  The specifier should seriously consider its use, especially with the following surface colors:  blue, light gray, purple and pearl.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

This system makes extensive use of recycled tire rubber as a major component.

WARRANTY:

The standard warranty period is 5 years from date of completion of work (2 years in water play areas, pool surrounds or similar applications).

MAINTENANCE:

Hose off entire playground to remove food, drink, sand, dirt and loose debris.  A pressure washer may be used, but not exceed 1500PSI (10MPa) pressure or place nozzle closer than 12” (305mm) to surface.  While surface is still damp, apply a mild household or commercial cleaner to a small area using a sprayer.  Scrub using a medium bristle brush.  Repeat as necessary on heavily stained areas.  Once entire surface has been cleaned, rinse using a garden hose with spray nozzle attachment.
