Polyurethane (PU) can be processed as hard, elastic, or liquid depending on the formulation. This is why it appears in many places within the sports and artificial turf sector.
Areas of Application
- Backing: secures the fibers in the carrier fabric and is particularly moisture-resistant
- Artificial turf adhesive: joins seams and edges with permanent elasticity
- Binding agent: for elastic layers made of rubber granules
- Running tracks and all-weather courts: as a synthetic surface, known as a Tartan track
PU surfaces are durable but benefit from regular cleaning – see synthetic floor cleaning.
