Nowadays most sports court flooring are build by acrylic materials and PU ( Polyurethane) sports court. And some buyers can not distinguish between them and which one should be used for their projects.Here yuanyang sports introduce their details and hope it do an favor for you to make a choose.

Acrylic materials is an important industrial organic compoud, one of the simplest unsaturated carboxylic acids, which polymerizes quickly and is often used to make synthetic resins, building materials and spray materials. In the sports field, there are two kinds of acrylic materials uses, one is hardness acrylic, the other is flexible acrylic.

Hardness acrylic has a long history, the courts coating with hardness acrylic is fresh color, excellent resistance, devote to used in all weather conditions and can effectively resist UV, color last for long time , the most important is that the price is cheap and easily to build.

Although hardness acrylic coating is cheap,it is not flexible . so people create the flexible acrylic by added with elastic layer which ensure acrylic sports court with good elasticity, enhance the shock absorption. It can reduce the vibration of the leg when the human body moves to a certain extent.

Polyurethane sports court materials

Pu materials is particularly suitable for the basketball court , in addition to the high bounce rate, its shock absorption, as well as anti-skip effect is very strong. In the movement, it can effectively prevent the phenomenon of skidding caused by the surface moisture, absord the reaction force of the ground against the ankle, joints and ligaments, and protect the body from being hurt in the movement. And this soft surface is widely apply to tennis court , futsal court , volleyball court ,etc.

The coating of pu materials is very easy. It can be coating on the concrete floor directly. Strong adhesion, leveled automatically, good buffer and ductility. Not easy to have bubble and crack after coating. And its anti-aging effect is very good, strong toughness, can repair the cracks on the concrete in a certain degree, is an ideal materials for the coating of sports ground.

Compare

The cost of pu sports court is higher than acrylic sports court . However, from the practical use effect , people can feel the difference between acrylic coating sports court and pu materials sports court. The latter have better sporting experience in property of elasticity , friction, anti-slip and other effects. In long term use , the concrete will experience expansion and contraction in season changing, PU materials can bear the movement of concrete without crack with its unique elongation property.
