Performance Polymers

Sports Flooring and Playground Surfaces

Used on track surfaces and children playgrounds, BASF’s polyurethane-based flooring structure provides high rebound and excellent impact absorption, helping athletes achieve their best performance while lowering risks of exercise-related injuries for children.

As a market and technology leader for PU solutions, our Elastan^® and Elastocoat^® series of coatings and adhesives, along with a special grade of expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (E-TPU), Infinergy^® SP, are applied to a variety of permeable and non-permeable surfaces from athletics stadiums to school fields and playgrounds.
