Specifications... SPECIFICATIONS FOR OUR PLAYSOFT
WOOD FIBER PLAYGROUND SAFETY SURFACING PRODUCT.
Manufacturing:
All Playsoft is manufactured in company owned and operated facilities.
No subcontractors are used, and stringent process controls are strictly
maintained.
Materials:
Raw material used is 100% cured, clean heartwoods of healthy American
hardwoods and conifers, in a proprietary blend which insures the
greatest longevity, impact attenuation, and user safety possible.
Only “virgin” materials are used, meaning that none of the raw material
has been subjected to paint, coatings, chemical treatments, or laminations,
other than lumber marking dyes.
Positively no sawmill waste is used. Sawmill waste
could result in poor longevity, composting, and significant amounts
of mold, fungus, insects, bark, dirt, and other nonconforming materials,
which could compromise all performance and safety aspects of the
material.
Storage:
All inventories, from raw materials to finished goods are stored
on well-drained pavement, or inside. Positively no storage is permitted
on soil, as material stored on soil has significantly less longevity
and structural integrity because of the serious decomposition problems
caused by storing wood products on soil.
