Vehicle and aircraft tyres can have reinforced belts, metals and high proportion of nylons and fibres in them. EcoScape only uses solid rubber - no metals or fibre - guaranteed. |
 |
 |
Some processes produce sharp angular chippings imbedded with fibres.
EcoScape shredding process produces flakes which are more comfortable to walk on and replicate the look of bark or wood mulch in appearance |
 |
 |
Some processes need additional glues to adhere the colourant to the rubber EcoScape uses no additional glues |
 |
 |
Some processes stick on emulsion paints or other unsuitable chemicals EcoScape colourant process only uses an exclusive organic pigment |
 |
 |
Some processes need to burn additional energy to dry out the product EcoScape process does not require any additional drying |
 |
 |
Warning; chocking hazard: - chippings should not be used by small children EcoScape shreds have been ingestion tested and classified as toy safe. |
 |
 |
Chippings can appear to cost less but actually you need to buy an extra 65% more product to cover the same area (2 cubic metres per ton). |
EcoScape shreds cover 3.3 cubic metres per ton so you need to buy less. In drop tests, EcoScape is tested to achieve over 3m at 100mm so you will need to buy less. Don’t forget that less material will also make it cheaper to install! Consider the whole project cost - EcoScape will save you money |
 |
When tested to BSEN1177 you need to buy at least 50% more material if you use chippings (100mm depth = 1.9m fall height) |
 |
The colorant process; the imbedded fibre; the additional chemical coatings of chippings can all affect the flammability of the finished product. EcoScape has been tested for ignition source, flashpoint and rate of travel to BS5852. EcoScape has been classified as non flammable substance in accordance with act 16 CFR 1500.44 |
 |
 |
Some processes need additional chemical coatings which can lead to problems of needing to reapply them as they wash or wear off. You may also question if these additional coatings are non toxic and fire resistant? EcoScape uses no additional chemical coatings. |
