Hard Court | Tennis Surfaces

Description

Neutral Concentrate with sand is a 100% acrylic emulsion coating formulated for tennis courts and other sport and recreational pavement surfaces. Neutral Concentrate with sand is designed to be mixed with SportMaster ColorPlus pigment dispersion to achieve desired color.

Uses

Tennis courts, basketball courts, and other multipurpose pavement surfaces and hard courts.

Surface Preparation

Pavement surface must be cleaned entirely of dust, dirt, and debris. Repair of pavement surface defects, depressions and cracks must be completed prior to application. All repairs must be flush and smooth to adjoining surfaces.

New asphalt surfaces must cure 14 to 30 days prior to application. It is recommended that any uncoated asphalt surface receive one or more coats of Acrylic Resurfacer (Technical Bulletin CMT – 3) as required by surface roughness and porosity to provide a smooth, dense underlayment for application of tennis surfaces.

New concrete surfaces must cure 28 days prior to application. Concrete surfaces should have a medium broom finish or similar roughened texture. Etch surface with muriatic or phosphoric acid and apply SportMaster Acrylic Adhesion Promoter (Technical Bulletin CMT – 21).

• SportMaster Neutral Concentrate with Sand – 55 gallons
• SportMaster ColorPlus – 4 gallons

Important

Stir material thoroughly before using. Temperature must be a minimum of 50° F. and rising before application. Do not apply when rain is imminent or forecast. Keep from freezing. Close container when not in use.

Drying Time

Neutral Concentrate with Sand dries in 30 to 60 minutes under optimum drying conditions. Allow each coat of material to dry thoroughly before applying successive coats. Low ambient or low surface temperature and high humidity increase drying time. Allow coating to cure for 48 hours before opening up for play.

Wash tools in water before material dries.
