Rubber Safety
In properly maintained playground applications, rubber mulch will reduce the occurrence of fall injuries. Please note that rubber mulch can only HELP REDUCE injuries from falls not prevent them.
Playgrounds can be a source of great happiness and joy for children. However, they can also be a source of injury. To minimize injuries from trips and falls, especially falls from equipment, playgrounds are being equipped with shock absorbing surfaces under and around equipment. While various materials provide shock protection, some of the most protective surfaces are being provided by scrap rubber derived materials. There have been questions or concerns raised about tyre derived materials being used for playground cover.
Two types of rubber playground surfacing material are on the market today: loose fill and solid mats. Loose fill generally consists of chips of rubber ranging from 12mm to 20m fibres in size. All non-rubber materials are removed, and the chips are washed before being placed on the play ground. Rubber, does not contain asbestos nor fiberglass as reinforcement fibers.
Install Depth: 100mm
Critical Fall Height: 2.7m
Other Advantages of Wire-Free Scrap Rubber Chips:
• Clean and non-toxic
• Does not produce toxic leachate
• Resilient
• Does not attract or maintain moisture
• Economical, lasts for years
• Reduces dust and mud around playing area
• Does not attract cats, dogs, rodents or insects
• Will not rot or decay
• Not susceptible to reduced performance due to rainy weather or freezing temperatures
What if a Child Swallows a Rubber Chip?
If a piece of rubber is swallowed, it should not cause any acute or chronic problems. Short-term issues, such as an upset stomach will be a function of the amount of rubber swallowed. As to the fate of the rubber chips swallowed, they are eventually evacuated from the body, just like any other non-digestible material.

Masterfibre Rubber Surfacing Maintenance Programme
Masterfibre’s rubber surfacing is a relatively maintenance free application. Regular cleaning is recommended though not required. In order to preserve the aesthetics of the surface, a regular maintenance schedule should be adopted. High traffic areas may require more frequent attention. The required frequency of such maintenance will vary according to the amount of traffic and the locality of the surface.
Cleaning
Masterfibre rubber surfaces will endure water pressure cleaners of up to 3000 psi. However, if high-pressure cleaners are the regular method of maintenance, we do not recommend that the machine be rated higher than 2000 psi. Blower/Vacuum cleaners are often a good first option when attempting to clean the surface. This will show any indications of stains that need to be attended to separately. Industrial cleaners and solvents should not be used, as they will react with the resin and rubber, causing the matting to expand and or weaken. Domestic detergents and cleaners can be used in order to lift stubborn stains and marks. Heavy chemical spills may require the removal and replacement of the affected surface. Paint stains will need to be washed off before drying. As a porous product, dried paint stains will become hard to remove. The use of any metal apparatus and or furniture should also be avoided, or the appropriate measures taken to ensure that rust marks are not allowed to develop. Tables, chairs, a-frames etc. should have legs rust proofed and rubber capped to stop any such marking of the surface. Wooden furniture and apparatus should be properly bled to avoid timber and tannin staining of the surface underneath.
Repairs
Should the surface tear or split, the area should be covered and if possible, remain unused until Masterfibre can determine both the reason for the repair and the best method to fix it. Any such situation should be referred to our office as soon as possible. Do not use any sharp-footed furniture or apparatus on the surface, as it will slice the surface. Cap all furniture feet. Avoid dragging such furniture over the surface as well. If you have any inquiries as to further maintenance, options please contact our office.
