Star Board and Color Core

[RossMosh]

I got my sample of color core out, and tried to scratch it with my finger nail. the only thing it done was wear my nail down, no color change.. how old is that play equipment? what company made that material..

That photo is from ColorCore's official website.

Also, I want to clarify again. It's not a scratch. It's a scuff mark of sorts. It's not horrible but I was surprised that it marked up so easily considering it's advertised as being something you can use on a playground. I guess it is very durable but I was just expecting the finish to be a little tougher.

I have had great experience with Color Core. I have made quite a few signs with it. I actually made 4'x4' yardage marker signs for the local golf driving range. Two years of being smashed by golf balls and they look as good as they did when installed.

Sample of KingCore. Simply ran my thumbnail back and forth with medium light pressure. Not a scratch but a scuff. From a distance, probably not an issue. Same type of "test" on a piece of Rowmark plastic resulted in no scuffs.

Make of it what you want.

what i saw on my test was a shinny spot and some of my nail powder. at a distance i could not see

the scuff you see is actually your nail. the texture of the plastic is actually "buffing" your nail. the reason it happens with one brand and not another and for some people but not others is because for one everybodys nails are different in hardness, and the plastic manufacturers all apply a different finish to there product -some rougher then others

Where are you guys buying this colored plastic? I have tried contacting people about some it but am not getting any good responses.

Thanks!
