There are two typical products for binding rubber particles together to construct a track surface – latex and polyurethane. The Tennis and Track Company is a certified installer for the full line of quality latex and polyurethane RSS track surfacing systems.
LATEX
RSS 100 (black) and RSS 200 (sandwich colored) latex surfaces provide an economical, resilient surface. Latex binders are temperature sensitive – harder when they are cold and hotter when they are soft. Latex surfaces are generally removed and replaced at about the 8 to 10 year mark.
POLYURETHANE
Polyurethane binders provide a more durable, higher performance surface. These surfaces typically can be resurfaced with appropriate new wearing surface making this a good, long-term investment. The surface is more consistently resilient in all temperature ranges.
RSS 2000 - a porous system consisting of a resilient basemat layer and a structural spray wearing coat.
RSS 3000 – the same systems as RSS 200 with the addition of a coat of solid-pour polyurethane between the basemat and spray coats making the surface non-porous. This keeps dirt and water on the surface meaning less maintenance and a longer life.
RSS 4000 – a sandwich polyurethane system consisting of a resilient basemat layer and a full-pour wearing layer. The surface is high performance and very long-lasting while retaining resilience.
RSS 5000 - this is a full-pour polyurethane system providing the highest performance, longest lasting surface.
