Be the first to know when PaveSens launches !
Did you know that pavement can reach dangerous temperatures long before it feels hot outside?
Here’s what the research shows
When the air temperature is 85°F, typical asphalt can reach 125°F–140°F.
At 125°F, skin can begin to burn in about 60 seconds.
At 135°F, burns can occur in 15–20 seconds.
At 140°F and above, burns can happen in as little as 5 seconds.
Even concrete, while slightly cooler than asphalt, can still exceed 120°F on warm sunny days.
Artificial turf can reach 150°F–180°F, even when the air feels comfortable.
Pets are especially vulnerable
A dog’s paw pads begin experiencing pain around 120°F.
At 130°F–140°F, blistering and tissue damage can occur rapidly.
Many veterinarians warn that if the pavement is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for your dog, but pavement can be dangerously hot even when it doesn't feel scorching to the touch.
Pavement can become dangerously hot, and constantly checking the ground with your hand is annoying and inaccurate.
PaveSens gives you a simple, reliable way to check and keep your little buddies safe.
