PlayLite
Protecting Children From Falls
Playlite is a Shock Absorption & Impact Attenuation Pad for the playground market that is made from pre-consumer cross-linked (closed cell) Polythylene foam (XLPE). All the XLPE material is new (not used) and with known ingredients and content. Cross linking is the process that changes the polymers to a thermoset product; this produces higher heat resistance properties, high chemical resistance and retains shape memory. Delivering constant performance, the material is resistant to moisture, chemicals, and micro-organisms. XLPE is made by OEM produces for various industries but mainly for the automotive industry who has to apply the most stringent health and safety standards. The XLPE foam provides consistent performance results for the shock absorption preventing athlete injury.
Safety
You can trust the safety and durability of PlayLite to reduce the chance of children injuries. PlayLite will help surpass the shock attenuation properties required for your playground under ASTMF1292 and ASTM F355A for HIC and GMAX ratings.
Easy Installation
The quality and performance of PlayLite doesn't change with time, thanks to its firm and unique properties that it is made from. PlayLite panels are engineered for a fast and efficient installation; it is a simple solution for various surface treatments including synthetic turf, poured in place urethanes, and many others.
PlayLite Advantages
Uses the same Cross-Linked PE Foam that has been used for decades in the automotive industry due to the materials inherent (and long-lasting) shock attenuation properties
