Engineered Wood Fiber Quality
This standard defines the quality specifications for engineered wood fiber used in playground surfacing. Our mulch is tested for particle size, purity, and consistency to ensure it is free from hazardous materials and performs as intended. Certification to ASTM F2075-20 also confirms compliance with the impact safety standards in ASTM F1292-22.
Impact Attenuation
This standard ensures that playground surfacing materials can effectively absorb impact and reduce the risk of serious head injuries from falls. Our mulch meets the required g-max and HIC values, meaning it provides a softer landing within the use zone of playground equipment, helping keep children safer during play.
Shock Absorption Testing
Using this test method, our playground mulch is evaluated for its ability to cushion falls from specific heights. The process measures how well the surface absorbs energy upon impact, confirming it meets the safety benchmarks outlined in ASTM F1292-22. This ensures reliable performance in real-world playground conditions.
