It similarly provides added protection from the middle layers of chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other possible chemical concerns in the original rubber tires:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Environment and Climate Change Canada looked at the aromatic extender oils found in the original composition of tires. They measured the PAH levels and found them low. Manufacturers produce newer tires with even lower levels of PAH.<\/p>\n<p>CB and SAS, used as melders in tire rubber, pose a respiratory concern in their pure state. Hardened in the rubber crumb form, prevents the chance of release of these chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>All rubber surfacing uses these binding agents. Before the binders come to us, they must be created by using the manufacturing process. Diisocyanates are used to develop the<em> binders<\/em> and can cause skin and respiratory irritations. The workers must wear personal protective equipment in the manufacturing workplace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information on pored rubber surfacing, check out our \u00a0<a href=\"\/blog\/the-ultimate-guide-for-rubber-surfacing\">Ultimate Guide for Rubber Surfacing<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"125\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-238\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/andrew-coop-RQTMCKicn40-unsplash-250x125.jpg\" alt=\"Recycled rubber tires\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ontariospecialtycoatings.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/andrew-coop-RQTMCKicn40-unsplash-250x125.jpg 250w, https:\/\/ontariospecialtycoatings.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/andrew-coop-RQTMCKicn40-unsplash-700x350.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ontariospecialtycoatings.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/andrew-coop-RQTMCKicn40-unsplash-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ontariospecialtycoatings.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/andrew-coop-RQTMCKicn40-unsplash-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ontariospecialtycoatings.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/andrew-coop-RQTMCKicn40-unsplash-2048x1023.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ontariospecialtycoatings.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/andrew-coop-RQTMCKicn40-unsplash-120x60.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_Ontario_Specialty_Coatings_ensure_our_workers_safety\"><\/span><strong>How do Ontario Specialty Coatings ensure our worker\u2019s safety?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Even though the risks are limited<\/strong>, we prioritize our employees\u2019 health and safety very seriously.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>We supply our employees<\/strong> with the necessary personal protection equipment (PPE): Gloves, respirators where necessary, eye protection and knee pads.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We provide thorough training to explain the hazards and risks of working with the rubber surfacing system, including the typical skin irritations caused by polyurethane.<\/p>\n<p>Your project manager will talk to you about the cure time needed before you can use your new rubber surface.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"134\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-239\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rubber-running-track-with-autumn-leaves-250x134.jpg\" alt=\"Red rubber surfacing with autumn leaves\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ontariospecialtycoatings.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rubber-running-track-with-autumn-leaves-250x134.jpg 250w, https:\/\/ontariospecialtycoatings.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rubber-running-track-with-autumn-leaves-700x375.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ontariospecialtycoatings.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rubber-running-track-with-autumn-leaves-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ontariospecialtycoatings.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rubber-running-track-with-autumn-leaves-1536x822.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ontariospecialtycoatings.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rubber-running-track-with-autumn-leaves-2048x1096.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ontariospecialtycoatings.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rubber-running-track-with-autumn-leaves-120x64.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_environment_is_important_to_us_too\"><\/span><strong>The envi<\/strong><strong>ronment is important to us too.<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>We are all in this together.<\/strong> Our business is to provide aesthetically attractive, and the highest quality surfacing and coatings.
