P.O. Box 1687
Vega Baja, P.R. 00694
3. Product Description
Sofscape Pavers are designed for a wide range of applications that included playground surfacing, walking trails, and recreational areas. The impact attenuation properties of the Sofscape Pavers can reduce the injuries related with fall from playground equipment. Sofscape Pavers are compliant with the Americans With Disability Act (A.D.A) and with the guidelines of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (C.P.S.C). Each rubber paver is molded in a hexagonal shape, 9-1/8 inches from flat to flat, and 2 inches of thickness. Two Sofscape Pavers cover the area of one square foot.
4. Materials
Sofscape Pavers are manufactured with crumb rubber from disposed tires and a weather resistance Polyurethane polymer resin. During the molding process the top layer of the Sofscape Pavers are pigmented with one of different color options such as: Black, Green, Gray and Red. Sofscape Pavers are latex-free.
5. Chemical Limitations
Some chemical can cause damage to the rubber pavers if they are constantly exposed to: gasoline, diesel fuel, acids, and highly concentrated chlorine bleach.
6. Technical Data
Applicable Testing Standards – American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM)
Determination of Accessibility of Surface Systems Under and Around Playground Equipment. The average work force per Lbf-in values measured lower when propelling the wheelchair over the Sofscape Pavers, than when propelling the wheelchair over a flat surface with a grade of 7.1%. The material met the requirements of the ASTM F-1951-99.
Optimum Drop Height: 4 ft.
Drop Height (at 23°C) g-Max HIC
3 ft - 128 - 525
4 ft - 156 - 799
5 ft - 189 - 1205
Note: The G-Max and HIC (Head Impact Criteria) for proper Impact Attenuation of Surface Systems Under and Around Playground Equipment should be below 200 for g-Max and below 1000 for HIC.
Average Value: 33
7. Installation
Sofscape Pavers can be installed on existing surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. In addition, Sofscape Pavers can be installed over aggregate material per manufacturers instructions. A summary installation procedure is attached in this document. For a complete installations guideline contact Sofscape Caribe Inc. or your local distributor.
8. Warranty
Sofscape Pavers are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects for a period of five (5) years from the date of installation. The manufacturer reserves the right to change the design, materials, or specifications to improve the product properties and/or processing at any time without notice.
