14mm 13mm University Running Track Abrasion Resistant Athletic Running Tracks Long Life
Key Advantages: Enhanced abrasion resistance | Extra‑thick top layer option (4mm) | UV‑stabilised formula | Minimal maintenance | 15‑year service life guarantee
The Long‑Life Full PU Track is designed for facilities that experience high daily footfall – university sports fields, multi‑sport centres, and public athletics hubs. While maintaining the pure PU elastic layer (no rubber granules), this version uses a harder‑wearing top formulation with 22% rubber content EPDM and an optional 4mm top layer (instead of standard 3mm). The result is a surface that resists abrasion from spikes, running shoes, and even light maintenance equipment. After 15 years of normal use, the track remains fully functional with only cosmetic wear.
Ideal for university competition tracks, multi‑sport community stadiums, high‑traffic school athletics fields, and sports clubs with long‑term investment plans.

-
Pure PU elastic layer – 10mm: two‑component PU with extra crosslinking for durability
-
Thick top wear layer – 4mm: pure PU slurry + scattered virgin EPDM (22% rubber content)
Key feature: Extra top thickness provides more sacrificial material – the track stays functional even after years of abrasion.

Q: Does the thicker top layer affect spike grip?
→ No. Friction remains ≥0.65. The extra thickness only adds durability.
Q: What maintenance is required?
→ Annual sweep and pressure wash. Every 5–7 years, a clear PU sealer can be applied to refresh colour.
