Technology For Synthetic Surfaces

World class facilities for athletics must provide reliable and consistent surfaces. Our track surfaces are built to a superior quality that fully realises the athlete’s power to break world records.

POLYTRAK® systems are supplied and expertly installed to the highest standards in the industry. The cast in place systems utilise rubber granules mixed on site with polyurethane binder applied with special mixing equipment and paving machinery. The POLYTRAK system meets all the demands of international standards, including IAAF.

Benefits to the athlete of the POLYTRAK system include: –

  • Shock absorbency
  • Optimum force reduction
  • Slip resistance
  • Uniform and seamless
  • Protection for the athlete
  • Minimise injury risk
  • Ideal world record conditions

The POLYTRAK system facilitates fast installation with the total support of qualified technicians, intensive quality control and effective project management.

Sports technology

POLYTRAK® high performance systems offer architects, consultants and designers cost effective solutions to exceed the most demanding track requirements.

We provide excellent dimensional stability, tensile strength and adhension to the substrate, a combination that nsures long lasting performance and durability.

The typical wearing surfaces of all our POLYTRAK systems comprise a self-levelling polyurethane coating with EPDM granules broadcast into this compound to produce the surface texture; alternatively a structural spray coating can be applied. The topping is permanently bonded to the base layer and is designed for heavy-duty use over an extended time. The uniform and seamless running surface is ensured and maintenance intervals are reduced to a minimum.

FULL POUR SYSTEM

POLYTRAK® Full pour system is a high performance system designed to meet the most exacting standards of international competition to IAAF regulations. Cast in place with two layers of SBR rubber mixed with 50% elastic polyurethane flood coat and finished with a topping of coloured EPDM granules broadcast onto the polyurethane compound.

SANDWICH SYSTEM

POLYTRAK® Sandwich system provides good force reduction and is constructed on a cast in place base mat of rubber crumb applied with clear polyurethane binder. The base layer is sealed with a combination of micronised rubber and polyurethane, with a final topping of coloured EPDM granules broadcast onto a flood coat of polyurethane compound.

SPRAY COAT SYSTEM

POLYTRAK® Spray coat system provides a highly cost effective solution utilising a structural spray comprising polyurethane compound and fine EPDM granules, applied to a cast in place base of rubber crumb and clear polyurethane binder. This system provides an economical solution for institutional, recreational and field training facilities, with a textured final surface.
