(custom colours available upon request but not warranted)
Pavers slightly darken at first then UV lab tests show no change after two years. Surface appearance may vary due to inconsistence in granulated waste tire rubber |
| Density and Hardness: ASTM 303: |
Shore A 70 |
| Shock Attenuation: |
Under 200 g at 5'. Fall significantly less likely than on concrete to cause injury or broken bones. Product is not designed for playground use and is not a playground material. Coefficient of Friction |
Coefficient of Friction
ASTM C 1028: |
0.92 - .96 dry
0.89 - .92 wet
(OSHA guidelines require that all walking surfaces satisfy a 0.5 Static Coefficient of Friction rating. In new construction and alterations, ADA specifies that a 0.6 Coefficient of Friction is recommended on all path of travel surfaces.) |
| Skid Resistance ASTM 303: |
Average 66 dry, 43 wet
(Sliding distance, time taken to cover the sliding distance, inclination of material slider, and contact pressure; In accordance with ASTM E-303, the wet-dynamic reading should NOT be less then 40) |
Taber-Abrasion
ASTM C 501: |
Wear index: 270 (Using H-22 heavy duty abrading wheels and 1000 grams pressure on each wheel, at 1000 cycles)
(Index score indicates high resistance to wear) |
Salt/Chloride
ASTM B117: |
Product exposed for 24 hours. No change in surface; no stain or residue |
| Magnesium Chloride: |
Product soaked in saturated solution, removed and allowed to dry. No change in surface; no stain or residue |
| Xenon Arc Weathering: |
200 hours UV testing. Lighting equivalent to outdoor daylight conditions and temperatures not exceeding 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
No change after exposure to sunlight two-year equivalent |
Flame Spread
ASTM E162: |
Surface flammability Flame Spread Index 131.18 at average temperature rise of 157.7 °C
Material meets the ANSI Z124.1 and Z124.2. Appendix III requirement for an Average DM of 450 of less. They self-extinguish. |
| Porosity: |
100% permeability through interlocked seams. Porosity: 6.48 square inches per paver open space @ 1/16" depth per side, 5% void per total square footage.
Allows immediate drainage of water into ground & minimal run off into storm drain. |
Freeze-Thaw
ASTM C 1026: |
Product exposed to 15 cycles of freeze-thaw at 0 Degrees for 90 days. No change. No facial defects. No signs of crazing, chipping, spailing or cracking. |
| Freezing Impact Test: |
Eco-Flex rubber products at 0 degrees F for 48 hours, were subjected to measurement tests. Change in measurement was negligible.
Eco-Flex rubber products at 0 degrees F for 48 hours, were subjected to repeated impact testing. Samples exhibited no signs of crazing, chipping, spailing or cracks by inspection. Eco-Flex rubber products at -35 degrees F for 48 hours, were subjected to repeated impact testing:
2' - 5 lb wgt 5' - 5 lb wgt 10' - 5 lb wgt Compression, 300 lb load
Samples exhibited no signs of crazing, chipping, spailing or cracks by inspection. |
| ADA compliance: |
Low vibration; concrete-to-Eco-Flex rubber products transition non- affective; high coefficient of friction both dry and wet; Shore A hardness supports all pedestrian and wheeled traffic, and transition on and off concrete or other hard scape.
Product designed for 4 foot minimum width. |
| Modularity: |
Eco-Flex Rubber products are interlocked, lap seamed or interconnected and can be opened by professional contractors for tree root maintenance, utilities maintenance, seismic adjustment, sidewalk relocation, etc. |
| Other: |
100% Canadian recycled tire rubber, with polyurethane binder
Non-toxic. All components inert solids.
Eco-Flex rubber products reduce sound of pedestrian or wheeled traffic.
Maintenance: Sweep, hose down or mop |
