Playtile:
Playtiles are manufactured using best
quality raw materials from leading
UK manufacturers. The rubber being
a milled, sieved and graded Styrene
Butadiene Rubber (Black) in reclaimed
truck/lorry tyre shred form, bound
together using a 10% ratio of moisture
curing Polyurethane Pre-Polymer. All
Playtiles are pressure moulded using
the same shred material throughout.
Quality:
All Playtiles have been fully tested
by The Independent Centre for Sports
technology in accordance with European
Standard EN1177 and British Standards
BS7188:1989 and BS5696 Part 3:1979

Standard
SBR Rubber Playtiles: SBR
rubber Playtiles are made from recycled
truck tyres. They are naturally black
in colour but can be dyed during manufacture
to either green or terracotta red.
This dye however, is not UV stable
and will fade or darken in time. These
tiles will also release a black carbon
over time, which could be transferred
on to shoes and clothing and are not
suitable for areas where young children
are crawling.
EPDM
Topped Rubber Playtiles:
EPDM tiles have a 12mm thick topping
of EPDM rubber. EPDM is not a recycled
product, is more UV stable and does
not release carbon black. More expensive
than SBR Playtiles, they are ideal
when appearance is more important
as they are brighter with a more permanent
colour.
Size:
Playtiles are available in 1m2 size
and in 14 various thicknesses. Playtiles
are fully tested to EN1177 and BS7188
and all comply or exceed their criteria.
