Silicone PU plastic flooring typically refers to polyurethane elastomeric flooring, commonly used as the surface layer for silicone PU basketball courts and other sports fields.
Due to the high number of jumps and turns required in basketball, the reactive force on the knees is considerable, leading to severe knee-related occupational diseases among professional basketball players. Therefore, using an elastic silicone PU plastic surface can effectively convert the shock absorption of the knees into the ground, reducing the injury risk for athletes.
What are the characteristics of silicone PU plastic flooring?
Silicone PU material, after molding, has a firm top and a flexible bottom, ensuring adequate shock absorption without affecting the bounce back of the basketball upon contact with the ground.
Two: During installation, the surface layer of the silicon PU plastic ground will add anti-slip powder, ensuring the flatness of the base while increasing the friction of the surface layer, and reducing the physical exertion of athletes.
Three: SiPu itself is a high polymer polyurethane material, which has sufficient strength and meets the requirements for the ball's rebound and elongation at break, making it an ideal material for sports court surfaces.
Four: The second-generation silicone PU material topcoat has been treated with UV resistance, allowing it to withstand the effects of UV rays for a longer time outdoors and is less prone to flaking and fading.
How to install a Silicon PU plastic ground?
The construction process for silicone PU is widely available online, but most explanations are not detailed enough. This is mainly due to the inherent characteristics of the material. Silicone PU is a liquid material upon leaving the factory and is applied layer by layer to the ground using a scraper. It has certain requirements for the foundation, temperature, air humidity, and levelness of the site. The construction process and handling methods may vary slightly depending on the on-site conditions, but the general steps are:
Polish - Clean - Apply bottom sealant - Apply elastic layer - Reinforcement layer - Surface paint - Marking - Maintenance
