NO. PermaLife
Mulch™ products will not attract termites or
insects like other mulches. In fact, PermaLife Mulch™ deters mosquito

our products making any landscape more attractive. PermaLife

PermaLife
Pour&Play™™
Why is
PermaLife Pour&Play™ superior to other rubber play
surface products
on the market?
PermaLife Pour&Play™ is the only cryogenically manufactured
loose fill playground flooring on the market. By producing
PermaLife Pour&Play™ through a freezing process at
minus -300°F, we ensure that our product is free of all
exposed steel. Also, by shattering the rubber instead
of grinding it, the resultant product has a crystal like
structure similar to sand allowing for superior drainage and
enough compaction to pass the ADA standards for wheel
chairs.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
How safe is PermaLife
Pour&Play™?
The United
States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and
numerous state and private agencies determined that shredded
tire rubber chips have consistently outperformed all other
surface materials in impact absorption and surface
attenuation.
PermaLife Pour&Play™ has been extensively tested and the
results show a safety factor for a fall of 12' feet with a
6"inch application and a safety factor for a fall of 8' feet with
a 4" inch application.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
Is PermaLife Pour&Play™ Toxic?
No.
PermaLife Pour&Play™ is non-toxic and is
colored with a non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and
HAPS-free coating. In the event of accidental ingestion,
the product will simply pass through the digestive tract of
humans or animals.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
Is PermaLife Pour&Play™ wheel chair
accessible?
Yes, PermaLife Pour&Play™ meets ADA ASTM F1951-99 ADA
certification for wheel chair accessibility.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
How should I install PermaLife
Pour&Play™?
PermaLife Pour&Play™ will be delivered in bulk.
Just remove all
existing material and bring the site to grade. Install a landscape fabric (recommend as a vapor barrier). Then
distribute and level the material with a garden rake or flat
shovel. Install at required depth to provide the best in
impact absorption.
For optimal safety, install a 6"inch application for a fall
factor of 12' feet and a 4" inch application for a
fall of 8' feet.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
Will PermaLife Pour&Play™
deteriorate or decompose?
No. Because PermaLife Pour&Play™ is manufactured from 100%
recycled tire rubber. The expected resilient life of the product is
25+
years.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
Isn’t black tire rubber just
as good?
No. PermaLife Pour&Play™ is clean, and coated with a
unique, uv-stable, polyurethane-based colorant that
dissipates heat better (based on color) and is
abrasion-resistant.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
What about mold or fungus?
PermaLife Pour&Play™ does not promote or sustain any mold or
fungus growth.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
Does PermaLife Pour&Play™ have
steel in it?
No. PermaLife Pour&Play™ is the only cryogenically
manufactured product on the market. The result of that
cryogenic process is a product free of all exposed steel.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
Will PermaLife Pour&Play™ blow
or wash away?
No. PermaLife Pour&Play™ will not float because the density
of the product is much greater than wood chips or wood mulch.
Because of the density and the migration
properties of rubber, PermaLife remains in place when it is
windy or raining.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
Does the color fade or wear off?
No. PermaLife Pour&Play™ color will not fade. There will always be some small loss of color that
is undetectable to the eye . The color is warranted for five
years against a complete color loss.
Back to top
Back to
Pour&Play
Does PermaLife Pour&Play™
Attract animals?
No. The texture of the product has proven to be disliked by
animals and rodents. Therefore, animals will not nest or root in the product.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
Isn’t PermaLife Pour&Play™ dirty?
No. Unlike wood chips, sand and black tire rubber, PermaLife Pour&Play™ is color
processed which seals the rubber. There is no grind residue
and the rubber won’t oxidize (chalk) because the colors are
UV stable. Also, you can play in PermaLife Pour&Play™ in the
rain or shortly after rainfall because
PermaLife Pour&Play™
does not absorb water like wood.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
Will PermaLife Pour&Play™ stain?
No. Unlike organic materials, PermaLife Pour&Play™
will not stain
clothes or cement.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
How much maintenance will
PermaLife Pour&Play™ require?
Very little. When installed correctly weed growth will be
suppressed. An occasional raking or dragging to bring to
level and to remove large debris is recommended.
Additionally, because of its density a blower can be used to
remove additional debris such as leaves in the Fall.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
Does PermaLife Pour&Play™ smell?
No. You may notice a minimal odor at time of installation,
but the odor disappears quickly after installation.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
Is PermaLife Pour&Play™
Flammable?
No, under the Federal Hazardous Substance Act
(16CFR.1500.44) PermaLife Pour&Play™ is considered a
non-flammable product. The product has been extensively
tested as Non-Flammable by independent testing labs.
Back to top
Back to
Pour&Play
Does PermaLife Pour&Play™
Freeze in the Winter?
No. PermaLife Pour&Play™ is hydrophobic (meaning it does not
absorb water) and therefore will not freeze in the winter. In addition,
the density (weight) of the product provides geothermal
properties, which insulate the soil keeping it
cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Back to
Pour&Play
Back to top
If PermaLife Pour&Play™ find its
way into my washer or dryer will it stain or melt onto the
clothes?
No. The color won’t wash off and it will not stain. Rubber
begins to degrade at an excess of 500°F; clothes dryers only
reach approximately 100°F.

What is the consistency of
PermaLife SportsFill™?
PermaLife
SportsFill™ is a non-abrasive, non-compacting,
rubber in-fill. SportsFill™ is specially cleaned
and screened crambient rubber. It’s not scrap rubber
of unknown origin that would be of questionable quality. It's
manufactured to the highest quality standards.

What is the look and feel of
PermaLife SportsFill™?
SportsFill™
looks and feels like a natural turf soil base. SportsFill™
comes in a variety of colors, both for aesthetics and for
practicality. Green Grass, California Red, Black
Pearl. Our newest color, PremaSand
is a light color,
designed to reduce playing field temperatures.
Back to SportsFill
Back to top
What is the cost of a 100% PermaLife
SportsFill™ Installation?
Using an
all-rubber in-fill is more expensive than adding sand but
the advantages are well worth it.
Back to SportsFill
Back to top
What are the advantages of
PermaLife SportsFill™?
A rubber in-fill
feels and reacts more like a natural turf soil base. It
can't over-compact like sand so the G-Max won't change
dramatically. Rubber isn't porous like sand so it won't
absorb odorous contaminants (fungus, algae, bacteria, urine,
blood, saliva, excrement, etc.). Additionally, rubber isn't
abrasive like sand --many sand/rubber infill systems use
over 50% sand in their product -- some use up to 80%! The
sand gets in the players' eyes, cuts the artificial surface,
stratifies to the bottom of the system and clogs drainage.

protection is safe?
Does MicrobanŽ protection begin working immediately?
How long does MicrobanŽ antimicrobial protection work?
Has anyone ever gotten sick from using MicrobanŽ
antimicrobial protection?
Does the use of antimicrobials cause resistant strains of
microorganisms?
1. What is MicrobanŽ
antimicrobial product protection?
MicrobanŽ
antimicrobial protection is built into the color coating of
all PermaLife products for an added level of protection
against microbes such as, bacteria, mold and mildew that can
cause stains, odors and product deterioration.
Back to
Microban
Back to top
2. How does PermaLife with
MicrobanŽ antimicrobial protection work?
MicrobanŽ
protection is built-in to the coating of all PermaLife
products during the manufacturing process.
Back to
Microban
Back to top
3. What benefit do I
get from PermaLife with MicrobanŽ antimicrobial protection?
MicrobanŽ
protection continuously fights the growth of microbes that
can cause stains, odors and product degradation on the
coating.
Back to
Microban
Back to top
4. What types of
microorganisms does MicrobanŽ protection work against?
MicrobanŽ
antimicrobial protection is effective against most common
bacteria, yeasts, molds and fungi that cause stains, odors
and product degradation. Microban technology is not designed
to protect users from disease causing microorganisms.
Back to
Microban
Back to top
5. How do I know that
MicrobanŽ antimicrobial product protection is safe?
MicrobanŽ
technology has undergone extensive independent laboratory
testing and has a long history of safe use. It is registered
with the EPA for all applications in which it is used.
Back to
Microban
Back to top
6. Does MicrobanŽ
protection begin working immediately?
MicrobanŽ
protection begins to work as soon as the microorganism comes
into contact with the product surface. It then works
continuously to maintain a consistently lower bio-burden
than would be expected on a product without MicrobanŽ
antimicrobial protection. Under the right conditions,
microbes on an untreated surface can double every 20
minutes! Microban technology is not a disinfectant and is
not a substitute for normal cleaning practices.
Back to
Microban
Back to top
7. How long does MicrobanŽ
antimicrobial protection work?
MicrobanŽ
protection is built-in during the manufacturing process and
will not wash off or wear away. Microban protection is
engineered to provide continuous antimicrobial product
protection for the useful lifetime of the product,
protecting the coating of PermaLife products from bacteria,
yeasts, molds and fungi that cause stains, odors and product
degradation.
Back to
Microban
Back to top
8. Has anyone ever gotten sick from using MicrobanŽ
antimicrobial protection?
Extensive testing
and a long use history have shown MicrobanŽ product
protection to be safe. While it is impossible to say that no
one will ever experience an allergic reaction to anything,
it is highly unlikely a negative experience would be
observed. Microban additives are used in very low levels
measured in parts per million.
Back to Microban
Back to top
9. Does the use of
antimicrobials cause resistant strains of microorganisms?
No. After more
than 30 years of use in numerous consumer, industrial and
medical applications around the world, there has been no
evidence of resistant strain development.
