13 Aug 2020
APT is excited to announce Ecolastic® POP and Ecolastic® NEO, two new playground rubber softfall surface lines that are sure to brighten playgrounds across the country.
APT Asia Pacific is a global leader in synthetic and acrylic sports and recreation surfaces. For over 25 years, APT Asia Pacific has been manufacturing and supplying Australian-made Olympic and Grand Slam-quality surfaces from its ISO-certified manufacturing plant in Melbourne, Australia. Along with over 100 types of synthetic turf, APT is also the leader in acrylic and polyurethane surfaces including playgrounds, athletic tracks, tennis and netball courts, and indoor sports flooring.
APT Asia Pacific is pleased to introduce Ecolastic® POP and Ecolastic® NEO to its playground surface portfolio. These exciting new products will bring a new level of colour, fun and variety to the softfall surface market. 
Manufactured by Fairmont Industries in Malaysia, Ecolastic® POP and Ecolastic® NEO enables APT Asia Pacific to offer a far more comprehensive selection of granules across various price points. Ecolastic® POP and Ecolastic® NEO are perfect for playground and recreational facility applications, are competitively priced and each come in 12 vibrant colours. 
The aptly named Ecolastic® POP is all about eye-popping colours! Poly-coated rubber particles are enhanced with Colour-Lock technology, while the uniquely designed polyurethane and coating process ensures a vibrant finish that is durable and resistant to pigment leaching. Several years of intensive R&D and trials has resulted in Fairmont Industries developing a time-tested coated rubber that is truly one-of-a-kind.
Ecolastic® NEO delivers a breakthrough in softfall technology. Its new and improved formula, using prime grade specialty polymers, delivers a homogenous rubber compound with improved coverage rate, fading resistance and physical properties. It has been carefully engineered to surpass the limits of previous rubber formulations. 
APT Asia Pacific’s complete range of playground components include polyurethane binders tailored for different applications, buffings and SBR granules for the base layer, and the new Ecolastic® and existing Melos granules for the top layer.
Ecolastic® POP and Ecolastic® NEO will be launching in NSW and QLD from the end of August 2020 and will be available in all other states in 2021.
