The EDPM Wet Pour Rubber Crumb is non –toxic, made from 100% recyclable materials, specialist pigment and UV stabilisers. It has high elasticity, wear resistance and low density for excellent coverage
Rubber crumb is the ideal surface product for any area where there is a risk of falling. It is particularly useful where young children or elderly people are present.
It comes in a rainbow of colours, has a high elasticity and is fully fade resistant. Because it is low maintenance, it means you won’t be spending all your time cleaning it.
This product is also good for the environment since 100% of the rubber is from recycled sources.
Critical Fall Height (C.F.H)
Playground operators must choose a surface with a Critical Fall Height rating that matches or exceeds the maximum possible ‘free height of fall’ from their play equipment. S separate Standard, EN 1177:2008, defines the Critical Fall Height tests. An instrumented ‘head form’ representing a child’s head is dropped from various heights onto the test specimen, and its deceleration is monitored. The greatest height of fall that keeps maximum deceleration below the permitted level gives the Critical Fall Height rating for the surface product.
If you require any alternative heights from the ones displayed below, please contact us. Under low play equipment with free height falls of under 60mm, the surface is only required to have ‘some impact attenuating properties’. We recommend 20mm thickness in this case and for general runabout areas. The top of the impact attenuating surface should be at the level of the base level mark on the playground equipment.
