Since 2014, numerous schools in Beijing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing, Changzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Hebei Province have started to upgrade their playgrounds with plastic tracks. However, the quality has been at risk due to a lack of supervision, and some fraudulent contractors even adopted toxic materials which greatly impaired the health of teachers and students. A few miles of tracks (including jogging tracks) and plastic playgrounds are related to the health and future of our nation.
Therefore, the importance of ETPU,Popcorn Tech is clear. After the pretreatment of heat and pressure, all our German Quality TPU beads (thermoplastic elastomers resistant to abrasion and tear) will expand by 10 times into ETPU, oval non-cross linked foaming beads with micro closed cells inside.
For the sake of health, it is suggested to apply ETPU in tracks (including jogging tracks) and plastic playgrounds.
Compared with traditional tracks, ETPU is:
•Safe and environmentally friendly, recyclable, free of harm and smell
•Smooth and tactile
•Resistant to pressure and deformation
•Excellent buffering and resilience, with adjustable elasticity in response to different requirements
•Stable physical properties, resistant to temperature difference and abrasion.
