For more than 70 years, California Sports Surfaces has been at the forefront of industry technology… the first acrylic resurfacer coat, the first athletic line paint, the first cushioned acrylic systems… and so on. But when you’re the industry leader, it is critical not to rest on your laurels, so we made a point to re-evaluate our existing products as well, to make sure we are continuing to utilize the latest advances in coatings and formulation chemistry.
The result was our Ultra Performance line of color coatings. Officially launched in 2021, Ultra Performance combines superior UV resistance, with increased permeability, durability and flexibility. Our Ultra Performance coatings were tested against some of the best known athletic surface coatings in the world and the result is that California Sports Surfaces is back at the forefront of innovation and will continue to be a company of ‘firsts.’
Performance tests
Taber Abrasion Test
Ultra Performance was formulated for exceptional abrasion resistance and durability to minimize surface wear.
Tensile Strength and % Elongation Test
This test demonstrates the flexibility and strength of a coating. Tensile strength provides more pliability when applying a coating over rubber mat systems or imperfect asphalt.
Permeability Test
Improved permeability allows the coating to breathe from the ground up and avoids moisture trapping, a common cause of a number of surface problems.
QUV Test
Color change after UV exposure. For this test, we focused on the colors that were most susceptible to UV degradation, with a great improvement over previous formulations and current industry offering.
