Abstract: A synthetic sporting surface for tennis courts comprises a laminate of (1) a porous base layer formed from a matrix of liquid polyurethane mixed with resilient particles; (2) a polymeric sealant which seals the upper porous surface of the base layer; (3) a fiber reinforced adhesive layer on the upper surface of the sealant; and (4) an acrylic top coat which acts as a wear layer on the upper surface of the sealant. The fiber-reinforced adhesive layer comprises an adhesive having reactive sites capable of bonding the sealant and the acrylic top coat to provide a durable cushioned playing surface.
