CONIPUR SW by CONICA is a seamless polyurethane athletics and multipurpose sports surface designed for outdoor use. The sandwich system comprises a PUR-bound elastic base layer made with recycled rubber granules and a durable polyurethane wear layer finished with EPDM granules. The surface is water-impermeable, slip-resistant, spike-resistant, and designed for all-weather use. CONIPUR SW is certified to EN 14877 and World Athletics requirements.

Its sustainability benefits include the use of recycled rubber granules in the elastic base layer, reducing demand for virgin material. CONICA also states that the system can be installed using solvent-free materials and that the upper layer can be renewed through a retopping process, extending the service life of the surface without replacing the complete system. Its durability and ability to be resurfaced can therefore help reduce material consumption over its lifecycle.
