Description and Usage
Latex-ite Acrylic Color
is a non-fading, weather-proof, 100% acrylic coating for use on
plant mix asphalt, emulsified asphalt and suitable concrete
surfaces. Latex-ite protects the underlying surface from weather
and climactic conditions and is resistant to fuels, oils, alkalies
and solvents. Made of acrylic resins, mineral fillers and
colorfast pigments, the Latex-ite Acrylic Color System provides a
tough, durable surface of uniform texture that remains flexible.
Designed for use on tennis courts, basketball courts*,
recreational areas and various other usages, the finished texture
can be varied easily by controlling the amounts of fine mesh
silica sand aggregate which is added to the Latex-ite Acrylic
Color at the project site. Unlike other acrylic surfacing systems,
each coat of Latex-ite Acrylic Color, is fully pigmented,
resulting in richer, longer lasting, in depth color.
*Four applications recommended in key areas.
1. FILLER COURSE:
In order to provide a uniform and dense underlayment for the
Latex-ite system you have chosen, the first step in
constructing the course is application of Acrylic Resurfacer blended
with approved silica sand to the hot mix asphalt surface.
2. HEAVY RUBBER
COURSE: Apply Latex-ite, large rubber particles, designed to provide maximum resiliency in the minimum number of coats. A
unique proprietary product, Latex-ite provides the
thick cushion build-up which gives the particular system you are
constructing the foundation for its distinct playing
characteristics.
3. FINE RUBBER COURSE:
An acrylic latex coating containing fine rubber
aggregates is designed to create a smooth cushion finish, in
preparation for the texture and finish courses.
4. TEXTURE COURSE:
Multi-purpose acrylic color
concentrate mixed with approved silica sands provides a uniform
surface texture and determines the speed of play and traction on the
court.
5. FINISH COURSE:
If done without sand will create a
vibrant, durable finish highly resistant to weather and ultra-violet
degradation. Latex-ite is available in Forest
Green, Winter Green, Spring Green, Summer Red, Adobe Tan, America's
Red Clay, and Royal Blue.
6. LINES:
Latex-ite Striping Paint, a high hiding, heavy
bodied acrylic latex, comes both textured and untextured, and covers
in one application
