Mapei - for all sports surfaces

Since the 1950’s Mapei has been supplying products and technology for the construction of indoor and outdoor sports facilities all around the world. Since then, Mapei has built up a wide range of experience and developed technology and solutions for all types of both new and existing sports surfaces and has become a point of reference for architects, designers and engineers.

The company’s Resilients and Sports Floorings – Mapei Sports System Technology division is on hand during both the design stage and the restoration and maintenance stages of sports facilities and surfaces by supplying technical support to help evaluate the projects to be executed and suggesting the best systems to adopt in order to construct high performance sports facilities certified in compliance with the highest standards.

At FSB, the Mapei stand (Hall 10.2, Stand G-006) is divided into various areas, with each area dedicated according to the type of technology, the type of sports surface or the type of structure where they are to be installed. Dividing the stand means that systems for grass courts and pitches, resin camps and pitches, wooden playing surfaces, rubber athletic tracks, stadiums and spectator tribunes will all have their own dedicated space.

Mapesoil System: sports surfaces with inbuilt horizontal drainage

The MAPESOIL System by Mapei allows you to install permeable sports surfaces without the need for pipework. This system includes the special MAPESOIL VD permeable screed, which lies immediately below the sand substrate for the turf, to carry water away from the court or pitch. This type of screed has a much higher drainage capacity than traditional systems and, by placing the screed closer to the surface, water flows away more quickly. This system is suitable for sports surfaces used for soccer, golf, baseball, hockey and rugby, to name but a few.

Ultrabond Turf: adhesives for laying artificial grass surfaces available all around the world

The family of ULTRABOND TURF polyurethane adhesives enables artificial grass playing surfaces to be laid in compliance with the standards of FIFA, golfing bodies and many others.
They are used to lay the jointing strips between adjacent rolls of artificial grass and are characterised by their ease of application, excellent rib stability, including in hot weather, and high bond strength.
ULTRABOND TURF adhesives are well renowned and are available all around the world where they are used to lay grass playing surfaces for both important international tournaments and for public and amateur use.

For stadiums tribunes and sports facilities Mapei proposes MAPECOAT TNS TRIBUNE, a system used to create walkways inside stadiums and sports complexes which is particularly resistant to abrasion and pedestrian traffic.
And last but not least is PU PROFESSIONAL for bowls, a polyurethane system resistant to impact loads which guarantees high performance playing surfaces that maintain their durability over the years.

Adesilex G19 for the installation of rubber athletic tracks

ADESILEX G19 is Mapei’s proposal for the installation of indoor and outdoor rubber athletic tracks. It has already been used to install numerous athletics tracks for the most prestigious events, such as the Olympic Games, the first of which was for the 1976 Montreal Olympics. ADESILEX G19 stands out for its toughness and high level of adhesion to the most widely used substrates in the building industry, as well as to synthetic rubber. It is resistant to mechanical stresses and loads associated with athletics events and helps athletes achieve the highest levels of performance.
