Our 16mm shock pad has a CFH of 3\u2032 by itself. Purchase Green\u2019s shock pads are made using closed-cell, cross-linked, polyethylene. The closed cell structure means it does not absorb moisture. The cross-linking produces a three-dimensional bond between the molecules providing excellent performance. Purchase Green <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purchasegreen.com\/solutions\/playground-ipema\/\">playground systems<\/a> (shock pad + artificial grass + infill) can provide critical impact ratings up to a 8\u2032 fall height, depending on how the system is constructed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What the heck is a shock pad?
