Sports floors are heavily used and subject to multiple and repeated attacks. In accordance with the NF EN 14904 standard, they must have a certain flexibility to provide cushioning, be highly resistant to wear, puncture and rolling load, be neither slippery nor abrasive nor dazzling, and easy to maintain. These technical requirements determine the good practice of sports but also the safety of athletes. Recognized for the high performance of its products by parquet professionals, Plastor joins forces with the French BasketBall Federation as a technical partner, to provide all its expertise in the protection and maintenance of sports parquet floors.
To highlight the layout of the sports floors on which basketball is played, which represents approximately 1,000 courts, it is now possible to differentiate and enhance certain areas of the court such as the racket and/or the continuous area inside. of the three point line. To meet the needs for modifications of layouts or the requirements of rehabilitation and repair of sports flooring sites, the FFBB recommends the use of the Sport Plastor range for vitrification, floor and tracing paints, and maintenance of these lands.
Sport range for sports floors
High performance technical products
Among its offering, Plastor has developed a range exclusively dedicated to sports floors and local authorities.
Highly technical, the Sport Plastor range provides perfect control of slipperiness, film elasticity and resistance to heavy traffic.
To prepare, beautify, protect and preserve the beauty of wood, the Sport range is available in a complete varnishing system (undercoats and varnishes) adapted to the nature of the parquet (oak and beech), tracing paints in approved shades for marking pitches, and products for optimal maintenance of sports floors.
This partnership with the FFBB is a real guarantee of recognition of the technical quality of Plastor products.
PREPARATION OF SPORTS FLOORS
Specific underlays
In order to guarantee the best protection to the support and to optimize the performance and output of the varnisher, Plastor offers in the Sport range undercoats specific to the nature of the wood: for oak, the PRIM’SO®* hard base, and for beech, the Base Sealer*. Used in a system with Plastor varnishes, they ensure a long lifespan for parquet floors.
PRIM’SO®* UNIVERSAL HARD BOTTOM
For oak sports flooring
The PRIM’SO®* Plastor hard base is a universal undercoat compatible with all Plastor varnishes (aqueous phase as solvent). With high penetrating power, it forms an ideal bonding base for finishing. Its pore filler function neutralizes anti-oxidants to ensure the perfect drying of all parquet sealers.
Very comfortable to use, the PRIM’SO®* universal hard bottom dries quickly and without annoying odor. Furthermore, it gives a slight honey color to parquet and is suitable for new or old wood in all types of species.
BOTTOM CLOGGER*
For beech sports flooring
Beech is a clear and highly absorbent species. It represents nearly 70% of sports grounds because it is very resistant, without splinters, and therefore perfectly suited to sports use.
The Plastor Bottom Sealer* guarantees optimal protection of the support and increases the performance and output of the varnisher. In the aqueous phase, this one-component technical acrylic undercoat modifies the nature of the porous support by filling in differences in absorption. It provides a homogeneous and regular level of protection over the entire surface.
A non-yellowing film and a formula reinforced with anti-UV agents helps prevent yellowing of the wood. Its creamy texture seals the base, giving filling to the wood.
FINISHING sports floors
VITRIFICATEUR PUR-T® SPORT*
A perfect balance between slipperiness, cushioning and impact resistance
Sports floors must have adequate slipperiness for the safety of athletes, particularly so that they avoid slipping uncontrollably. These adherence criteria allow the good practice of many sporting disciplines. Also, the PUR-T® Sport* Plastor sealer meets the slipperiness requirements of standard EN 14904 (indoor multi-sport floors). It also has a slippery report according to standard NF EN 13036-4.
Two-component, the PUR-T® Sport* sealer based on polycarbonate resins is perfectly suited to the sealing of new or old sports floors, whatever their type.
Its ability to deform allows it to better absorb shocks and protect the parquet floor from impacts over the long term.
Odorless, it is very pleasant to apply and provides a good filling. Equipped with a non-yellowing film and great transparency, it highlights the parquet floor. Its high recovery time makes it possible to address the problems of large areas, and is also suitable for sports halls with heated floors and cement floors.
Classified A+, it has the EC1R label attesting to the low level of VOC emissions. It is available in satin look and American finish (glossy).
Tracing paint*
Clean lines without running
Specially designed for marking marking lines on the ground in sports halls, Plastor marking paint* based on two-component polyurethane resin in solvent phase has very high resistance to abrasion.
Its thixotropic texture (gelled structure) allows the paint not to flow between the marking strips. The lines are thus perfectly clear and precise.
Tracing paint* is available in different standardized colors to match the colors of different sports (white, black, red, blue, yellow).
PU35* FLOOR PAINT
A covering and dust-proof finish
PU35* PLASTOR is a two-component, solvent-based polyurethane floor paint, ideal for painting large areas such as the entire racket while respecting the same criteria of slipperiness and resistance as varnishers.
With very good adhesion and strong waterproofing power, it is suitable for sports floors but also for cement, concrete, polyester, etc. by meeting the slipperiness requirements of standard EN 14904 (multi-sport interior floors). Anti-dust, PU35* forms an elastic and flexible anti-chipping film. Furthermore, it benefits from extreme resistance to abrasion, wear, impact, scratches and chemicals.
With a glossy appearance, 12 shades are available and RAL colors are on request.
MAINTENANCE of sports floors
The maintenance and cleaning of sports floors is essential to protect the investment that sports halls represent for local communities. It is therefore essential to use efficient maintenance and cleaning products adapted to this type of surface.
Parquet cleaner* Special for sports halls
For daily cleaning
Plastor Parquet Cleaner* is recommended for the daily maintenance of all types of parquet floors – sealed, oiled, pre-varnished – but also laminate floors, plastic floors, etc. Ideal for sports halls, it cleans the surface in depth without changing the slipperiness characteristics of the parquet floors.
Its formulation does not attack the support and prevents dirt and dust from becoming encrusted. Anti-static agents delay the deposition of dust. Pleasant to use, it gives off a nice fresh smell.
Intensive Cleaner*
For occasional cleaning
Plastor Intensive Cleaner* has been specially formulated for deep cleaning of all types of sealed parquet floors and dirty sports floors, without adding slipperiness.
It is perfect for degreasing parquet, removing difficult stains, dirt resistant to traditional cleaners, eliminating accumulations of body grease, traces of black gum shoes or balls on sports floors, in gymnasiums, etc.
Its stripping power makes it possible to eliminate the different layers of Metallizing Refresher*.
Its formulation does not foam and can be applied with a single brush.
Metallizing Refresher*
To revive color and fade scratches
Non-slippery emulsion (without waxes – without silicones) and non-yellowing, Plastor Metallizing Refresher* places a protective film on heavily used varnishes. It extends the life of their film and protects them from wear (abrasion, scratches).
Recommended for the maintenance of sports floors, it revives tarnished surfaces while blurring superficial scratches on sealed parquet floors. Available in a matte or satin finish, the Metallic Refresher* gives surfaces a second lease of life.
It can be applied to varnishes, pre-varnished parquet floors, laminate floor coverings, plastic floors, etc. Its formulation also ensures great resistance to stains. Simply apply 1 or 2 layers using a microfiber or sponge mop.
*Dangerous. Respect the precautions for use.
