IMPORTANT: VAST Composite Pavers are not intended for use near, or under, fire pits. A minimum of four feet must be maintained between an open fire.

Material

VAST Composite Masonry: Up to 95% recycled material including recycled scrap tire rubber and plastics.

Maintenance

VAST Composite Pavers require virtually no maintenance other than an occasional replenishment of joint sand. Chemical spills (e.g. petroleum, paint, etc.) should be cleaned as soon as possible with an appropriate industrial cleaner and rinsed thoroughly with water. Chemical spills / stains left untreated over long periods of time may degrade the surface finish and integrity of the product and are not covered under warranty.

Peak Comp. Strength: >2000 psi
(Note: in "bound" configuration)

Not Tested

Flexural Strength

ASTM C140-09 Annex A6
Ult. Flex. Strength: 695 psi (stdev 35 psi)
Flexural Modulus: 3842 psi (stdev 380 psi)

Not Tested

Coefficient of Friction

ASTM C1028-07 (neolite pad)
Dry (static): 0.99
Wet (static): 0.76

ASTM D2394-05e1 (leather sole)
Dry (static): 0.57 Dry (sliding): 0.46
Wet (static): 0.94 Wet (sliding): 0.86

ASTM C 1028-06 (neolite pad)
Dry (static): 0.83 (stdev: 0.07)
Wet (static): 0.62 (stdev: 0.06)

Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

44*10^(-6) at 68 degF

Flame Spread

UL 94 Section 7 (material test)
Horizontal burning rate: 51 mm/min (2.0 in/min)
Note: A chemical shall be considered a flammable solid if, when tested by the method described in 16 CFR 1500.44, it ignites and burns with a self-sustained flame at a rate greater than one-tenth of an inch per second (6.0 in/min) along its major axis. Testing via UL 94 Section 7, VAST has observed a flame spread rate that is roughly one-third the limit recognized by the Code of Federal Regulations.

Flame Spread

ASTM E108-007 (tested at 1/2:12 slope)
Spread of Flames: Class "C"
Intermittent Flame: Class "C"
Burning Brand: Class "C"
(Note: meets Class "C", results not certified)

Not Tested

ASTM E84-09
Flame Spread Index: 140
Smoke Developed Index: 800

Xenon Arc Weathering

ASTM G155
2,000+ hours (please refer to the VAST weathering chart for color retention expectations)

Chemical Resistance

No visual discoloration after 30 day exposure to household bleach or muriatic acid.
No known discoloration due to exposure to road/deicing salt (sodium chloride), engine oil, grease and common household cleaners.

Cold Water Absorption

ASTM C67 Section 8 (material test)
PASS: <1% by mass, average saturation coefficient (after 1 hour boil): 0.05

Freeze-Thaw Cycling

ASTM C67 Section 9 (material test)
PASS: freeze-thaw cycled 52 times over 75 days. No visual signs of cracking, warping or crazing.

Infiltration Rate

Not Tested

With ASTM No. 8
(3/8-" trap rock): >480 in/hr
(>4.9 gal/min)
Open Area: 12%

Not Tested
