Ludwigshafen (ots)

The new edition of BASF's innovation podcast "Chemistry of 
Innovations" talks about sport surfaces systems which can help make 
athletes faster.
Nowadays sports surfaces are like high-tech sports equipment that 
has a decisive impact on an athlete's performance. The surface can 
make all the difference being tenths of a second faster in sprints. 
Those sports surfaces are not prefabricated and then laid, in fact 
they are poured on as a liquid right in the stadium with the help of 
special plastics. So one can always check and optimize the track in a
stadium during the actual laying process. With this fine tuning the 
athletes get back part of the energy they use every time they pound 
the surface.
