This looks like it is raw plastic which I am concerned would scratch my acrylic hot tub shell. Is there any kind of rubber or soft padding to protect?

There is no rubber or soft padding but its just smooth plastic so I have not had any issue with scratching. I suspect in a wet environment pads would just fall off or get wet and funky.

The bottom part slides to fit the side of your tub exactly. We have an octagon shaped hot tub and it even fit on those sides. There is no rubber or soft padding on the tray, but it does not scratch the acrylic shell at all. We love this tray!

No it is plastic, no rubber anywhere. We have not used ours yet, so I can not tell you if it would scratch your acrylic or not.

It's not padded, but it's tpu, which is a bendable plastic. So it doesn't scratch.

It is a hard white plastic. I've had it for a year and a half and the tub shows no signs of wear and tear yet.

its plastic. There is no reason that a thin pad -or a couple of towels could not be placed over the 'bed'. I used a rolled up sheet of bubble-wrap for a while when my lower back was being tender.

It is made out of a flexible plastic material so the circle shape that lays flat can conform to your tub and lay snug. As for bpa free.. I don't know. I have already thrown away the packaging. That wasn't of much concern to me since it is laying in the bottom of the tub and not near any food or drinking water sources.

In the hot weather it can be a bit tacky. Definitely softer than rubber and if you rub it (in the hot weather) it may come off. Seems best to resist dirt/salt vs any actual rubbing.

Pretty sure it should be safe. Seems like the same thing as dish type pads that you use on teflon that wont scratch it. Didn't scratch my polished acrylic shower. I would check on one little area though & scrub with it to be sure.

The top covering is some type of tightly woven, micro-fiber synthetic. 95% of the water will run off of it, but, it will 'get wet'. However, the covering is thin, and the amount of water (or perspiration) it will 'hold' per square inch is very little. It can be almost dried by strongly blotting with an absorbent dry cloth. It is NOT waterproof like plastic, vinyl, rubber, or treated leather. Also, it will wear out (be abraded) faster than the material previously mentioned.That all being said, it is the best bike seat I have found (for me @ 6'-2", 250lbs, 75yo)! All day comfort...my legs give out before my butt does...no more painful 'squirming' near the end of a long ride. Yippee!

I dont think it is rubber, more likely plastic. They call it Flexogen. They do say to wash hands after handling because it has some chemicals that could cause cancer and birth defects. It says it is not for use with hot water. They will replace the hose as it has a lifetime warrantee, all you do is send the two ends cut off (at your expense) to them, and you get a new hose. There is a Customer Service number 1-800-858-0107.

It is covered in heat shrink tubing and surely is water resistant. I think that a bit of rtv on each end would make it fairly impervious to water.

Softer like nylon or silicone. Not hard like the white plastic part you insert your pool pole in.

Plastic,such as in a child's wading pool? Or in a full siz above ground pool? If it is the latter, I see no problem. But, to be safe, consult a pool specialist or read the directions on like tabs at a box store.

I have without thinking about it and haven't noticed any damage. I would suggest that a hot pad is used to protect it.

hi there, this is made from acrylic, I´ve been using it on the beach and has been working fine for me, of course using it with proper care...

It feels like a very hard acrylic/plastic- its extremely durable, I've owned mine for over 20 years! You can either google or call and get the answer from the company.

The stopper is surrounded with silicone, not rubber. It will definitely withstand any amount of heat your bathtub could provide. I have silicone cookware and love it. The silicone also provides a great grip/suction interface with the tub and shower. It has smaller drain holes than most drain covers and prevents hair going down the drain. Am very pleased with it.
