Full PU Running Track System Manufacturer & Materials Supplier
A Full PU running track system (also called Full PUR or full-pour polyurethane athletics surfacing) is a seamless, poured-in-place track built with multiple dense polyurethane-rich layers and a textured wearing surface. Sport Floor manufactures and supplies compatible PU sports-flooring materials and coordinates rubber granules for professional track projects and international B2B buyers.
Unlike a spray-coat track, the full-pour approach relies on substantial liquid polyurethane layers rather than a porous rubber mat with a thin sprayed finish. A project-specific assembly may use primer, resilient PU layers with selected granules, a dense PU wear layer and embedded EPDM texture. The approved specification controls the actual sequence.
Sport Floor manufactures its own polyurethane sports-flooring materials, uses system materials within its project activity and supplies them directly for international orders. German raw materials are used within applicable Sport Floor formulations, creating a strong material-quality foundation for demanding running-track projects.

What is a Full PU running track?
A polyurethane-rich athletics surface built as a dense, multi-layer track system
Full PU, also referred to internationally as Full PUR or full-pour polyurethane track surfacing, is a synthetic athletics-track system in which the principal resilient and wearing layers are created with polyurethane materials rather than relying on a porous rubber base finished only by a thin spray coat.
A typical concept begins with a correctly constructed asphalt or concrete track base and compatible primer. Dense polyurethane layers are then installed in sequence, commonly with rubber granules incorporated or broadcast according to the system design. The exposed wearing surface is completed with a compatible polyurethane layer and EPDM granules where specified.
The result is a continuous track surface designed for professional athletics use. Exact system thickness, granule size, material consumption, layer count and performance values must be selected from the actual project requirements and current Sport Floor technical documentation.

How the system is built
From prepared base to the final athletics wearing surface
The exact build-up depends on the selected Sport Floor system and project specification, but Full PU tracks follow a dense polyurethane layer logic.
Prepared Base
Correct civil works, levels, falls, compaction and asphalt/concrete quality create the foundation for the track surface.
Compatible Primer
The selected Sport Floor primer creates the required interface between the prepared base and the polyurethane build-up.
Dense PU Layers
One or more polyurethane layers are installed according to the selected full-pour system and may incorporate or receive SBR granules.
Final Wearing Surface
The exposed running surface is completed with the specified PU layer and EPDM granules or compatible finish before line marking.
Controlled installation
Full PU performance starts with base quality and layer-by-layer control
Full PU systems depend on a stable, correctly prepared base. Surface levels, drainage, substrate soundness and primer compatibility should be confirmed before polyurethane installation begins.
Each polyurethane layer should be installed within the current technical limits for the supplied material. Mixing, consumption, working time, cure interval and granule application are product-specific and should not be copied from another manufacturer's system.
For international contractors, Sport Floor can supply the required polyurethane products and rubber materials as a coordinated package, supported by current product documentation and project-specific material planning.
Do not build a Full PU track from generic layer values
Thickness, consumption, mixing ratio, cure time and rubber specification should come from the selected Sport Floor system and current technical documents.
Conceptual layer sequence
Primer → dense PU layers → EPDM / PU wearing surface
Published Full PUR examples from established manufacturers show layered poured-polyurethane construction and a granule-textured wearing course. Polytan describes a solid, waterproof PUR surface with EPDM embedded in the wear layer; Rekortan literature describes a base, force-reduction and wear-layer concept. These are industry references, not Sport Floor product specifications.
Sport Floor follows the same system logic while selecting the actual primer, PU products, rubber granules and layer configuration around the project, climate, base condition and commercial specification.
The diagram is conceptual, not a fixed bill of quantities. Some projects may require different layer sequencing or additional preparation depending on the selected specification.
Why choose Full PU?
A premium track-system route for projects prioritizing dense polyurethane construction
Dense System Build-Up
The principal resilient and wearing layers are created through polyurethane-rich construction rather than a thin sprayed finish.
Seamless In-Situ Surface
PU layers are installed on site to create a continuous track system over the correctly prepared base.
System Control
Primer, PU layers, rubber granules and line-marking products can be coordinated within one material package.
Professional Athletics Use
Full PUR is an established international running-track system category used in professional athletics surfacing.
Color & Surface Design
EPDM and compatible colored PU materials allow project-specific surface and marking design where supported by the selected system.

German raw-material advantage
Full PU systems place more responsibility on the polyurethane formulation itself
Because the system relies heavily on polyurethane layers, raw-material selection and compatibility become especially important.
German Raw Materials
Sport Floor uses German raw materials within applicable polyurethane formulations used across its sports-flooring product family.
Own PU Product Family
Sport Floor manufactures primers, binders, self-leveling PU, sealers, top coats, line marking and related products used around sports-floor systems.
Manufacturer + Installer + Exporter
Sport Floor combines material manufacturing, project use and direct international supply rather than acting only as a trading intermediary.
Full PU vs Sandwich vs Spray Coat
Choose the track system by construction logic, performance target and project budget
| Selection point | Full PU | Sandwich | Spray Coat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core build-up | Polyurethane-rich dense layers with rubber granules incorporated/embedded according to system design. | Resilient SBR/rubber base, pore-sealed, then dense PU wearing layer. | Porous rubber base finished with a sprayed PU/EPDM coating. |
| Surface structure | Dense / non-porous concept depending on system. | Dense upper PU surface over resilient rubber base. | More open/porous construction depending on selected system. |
| PU material intensity | Highest of the three typical in-situ families. | Medium to high. | Lower than Full PU because the sprayed finish is thinner. |
| Typical commercial positioning | Premium athletics-track route. | Balanced performance and material efficiency. | Economical/training-oriented route where suitable. |
| Dedicated page | Current system | Sandwich Running Track System | Spray Coat Running Track System |
System choice should be project-specific. Final selection should consider intended athletics use, budget, climate, base construction, drainage approach, required certification pathway and maintenance strategy.
World Athletics context
Full PUR is an established international track-surface category
World Athletics' published certified track-surfacing lists include products categorized under several system descriptions including Full PUR, Sandwich, Spray Coat and Prefabricated. These descriptions identify construction families; they do not certify a supplier or a generic system name.
However, a system category and a certified product are not the same thing. A track should only be described as using a World Athletics-certified Sport Floor product if the exact Sport Floor surfacing product has a valid certificate for the specified configuration.
For projects pursuing World Athletics facility certification, the surface product, installed thickness, facility geometry, construction quality and testing route should all follow the current World Athletics requirements and project consultant specification.
Important: This page does not claim that the Sport Floor Full PU system currently holds a World Athletics Product Certificate. Certification claims should only be made using current, product-specific evidence.

Common specification mistakes
Full PU is a system — not a single layer or a product name
Ignoring the Base
Track surfacing cannot correct unstable civil work, poor geometry or drainage defects.
Copying a Competitor's Thickness
Layer thickness and sequence should follow the selected Sport Floor system and project requirement.
Mixing Unrelated Products
Using primers, PU layers and granules without compatibility review can create system risk.
Calling Spray Coat “Full PU”
These are different internationally recognized system families with different construction logic.
Assuming Certification
World Athletics certification belongs to specific products/facilities and must be supported by current evidence.
Ordering by Area Only
Accurate material quantities require system build-up, thickness, base condition and project specification.
Engineering and procurement checklist
How to evaluate a Full PU athletics track before approving the system
Published competitor specifications can help you compare concepts, but a purchasing decision requires documented values for the exact proposed Sport Floor system.
01 — Surface performance
Request independent test evidence for force reduction, vertical deformation, friction, tensile properties, weathering and spike-related wear as relevant to the project specification.
02 — Design thickness
Define target and minimum installed thickness in the consultant-approved system. Do not copy 13 mm, 15 mm or 17 mm from an unrelated certified product.
03 — Layer-by-layer BOQ
Confirm the named primer, each PU component, SBR/EPDM grading, estimated kg/m², waste allowance and packaging quantities before quoting.
04 — Climate and base
Check substrate condition, moisture limits, ambient temperature, humidity, pot life, curing time and drainage requirements from the relevant TDS.
05 — Documentation
Ask for current TDS and SDS, system build-up, material compatibility confirmation, available test reports, packing information and country-specific export documents.
06 — Certification pathway
If World Athletics certification is required, confirm the exact listed product, certification number and absolute thickness. Facility certification is a separate project-level process.
Published industry references
Full PUR technical references and independent verification

Full PU Running Track FAQ
Questions contractors and buyers ask before selecting Full PUR
What is a Full PU running track system?
Full PU / Full PUR is a dense in-situ synthetic track system in which the main resilient and wearing build-up relies heavily on polyurethane layers, typically combined with SBR and/or EPDM granules according to the selected system.
Is Full PU the same as Spray Coat?
No. Full PU is a polyurethane-rich dense system. Spray Coat typically uses a porous rubber base finished with a thinner sprayed PU/EPDM coating.
Is Full PU the same as Sandwich?
No. Sandwich systems normally use a resilient SBR/rubber base, pore sealer and dense PU upper layer. Full PU relies more heavily on dense polyurethane layers through the build-up.
Does Sport Floor manufacture the PU materials used in the system?
Yes. Sport Floor manufactures a dedicated range of polyurethane sports-flooring products including primers, binders, self-leveling PU, sealers, top coats, markings and related materials.
