For maximum acceleration – Our sports surfaces for the largest stadiums

Since the 1968 Mexico Olympic Summer Games, all major athletics meetings worldwide have been held on elastic rubber floor coverings (often referred to as Tartan tracks, although Tartan does not refer to the actual track material, but rather a well-established product brand). From the outset, the ‘Rekortan’ running track brand established itself as a benchmark in top-class sport.

Today, more than half of all Diamond League stadiums are equipped with Polytan and/or Rekortan synthetic surfaces. This is mainly due to their excellent sports properties, such as maximum acceleration and optimum shock-absorption values.

Preparing the optimum surface for track and field athletes

Polytan provides elastic synthetic surfaces for athletics facilities based on the sport-specific functional requirement: waterproof, in situ poured and water permeable, and structural spray-coated sports floorings. Local climatic conditions also play a role when selecting an outdoor sports surface.

For official, globally recognised athletics events, all Polytan synthetic surfaces can be certified in accordance with World Athletics requirements. In addition to classic brick red, they are also available in numerous UV-stable colours. These days, the trend is towards intense, bright colours, such as the famous Hertha blue of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. Polytan synthetic surfaces are also available as sports hall floors.

PolySeal: Protective surface sealing for synthetic surface coverings

Synthetic surface coverings in sports facilities are exposed to numerous types of wear. For example, granulate can break out in some places and contaminate or bleach the surfaces. Protection can be provided with PolySeal surface finish sealing, an abrasion-resistant PU coating that can also be applied to textured, spike-suitable synthetic tracks.

Polytan SMART

Polytan SMART is an intelligent solution for performance diagnostics for classic running disciplines, as well as long jump and pole vault. It eliminates the need for complex technical designs, as the timing gates (magnetic barriers) are invisibly integrated into the running track. In combination with a body sensor and analysis software via PC or app, all relevant performance data from the athletes can be accurately recorded and analysed.
