Silicon PU Flooring — The Next-Generation Sports Surface

Silicon PU (Si-PU) is a hybrid sports surface that combines polyurethane's performance with organic silicon's weather resistance. It's the fastest-growing surface material in Indian sports infrastructure — and for good reason.

What Makes Silicon PU Different?

Traditional PU is indoor-only (degrades in sun and rain). Acrylic is outdoor-only (minimal shock absorption). Silicon PU bridges both worlds:

  • Indoor + outdoor: UV-stable and rain-resistant like acrylic
  • Cushioned: Shock absorption approaching PU levels
  • Direct application: Applies directly on concrete — no primer or special base preparation
  • Solvent-free: 100% eco-friendly from base to topcoat
  • Self-levelling: Fills minor concrete imperfections automatically
