Product Overview
The Rapid‑Install Elastic Acrylic system uses a fast‑cure water‑based acrylic binder that significantly reduces drying time between coats. A standard 4 mm elastic layer (3 coats of rubber‑acrylic mix) dries in 2 hours per coat instead of 4‑6 hours. The full system – base priming, 3‑4 rubber coats, 2 mid coats, and a top colour coat – can be completed in 5‑7 days by a 3‑person crew, compared to 10‑14 days for standard elastic acrylic. The final surface provides 20‑30% shock absorption and meets ITF Category 3 ball bounce. Perfect for schools that need a cushioned court before term starts, or clubs hosting a tournament with a fixed date.
✅ Ideal for: school holiday projects, urgent court refurbishments, tournament venues with tight schedules, and temporary event courts.
