MORE ABOUT
CK INDUSTRIES
CK Sport Industries was established in 1993 as a Sole Proprietary – P.C. van Tonder t/a C.K. Industries. Starting as a sport equipment manufacturer, the company has gone through many different phases. From manufacture to retail, owner and founder Phillip van Tonder then turned his attention to Athletic Track facilities; having gained experience and part of the installation team in 1995 for the Olympic Stadium in Atlanta in 1996. Once in the industry, it wasn’t long before the flaws of pre-
IAAF System Certification
IAAF or International Association of Athletics Federations is the governing body for Athletics globally. Running surface products are subjected to tests at IAAF accredited testing laboratories for certification where these products must meet certain standards to ensure the safety of the Athletes. From vertical deformation to shock absorption, many products do not comply. Presently, CONICA AG has 3 x IAAF Certified track systems.
IAAF Track certification
Once a Certified athletic track system has been chosen it is then eligible for Certification as an individual track or venue. Why is this important?
The IAAF take records very seriously, weather they are World Records or National Records, all records must be accounted for. This strict regulation is necessary to keep Athletics the proud Sport it is. Non IAAF certified Athletics Tracks may not have official records. Most federations such as ASA (Athletics South Africa) and CAA (Confederation African Athletics) requires certification status prior to any event.
This is where CK SPORT INDUSTRIES comes in.
The difference between a track passing Certification or failing Certification is measured in millimetres. Once the Athletic track has been installed, various tests are performed on site by an independent and accredited IAAF representative; relating to the Clients requirements for the level of Certification and Construction Category. Strict gradients / slopes and measured tolerances, will be surveyed and tested.

FAQ
Ø What is Polyurethane (PU)?
A synthetic resin in which the polymer units are linked by urethane groups. Also known as PU; our products are a two part PU, a very durable yet soft synthetic rubber. Highly UV resistant; mixed and applied on site.
Ø What is EPDM?
Ethylene propylene diene monomer, another synthetic rubber broadcasted and embedded into the PU, it gives the PU structure and grip for the athletes. PU on its own would be too soft. EPDM is highly UV resistant. Max temp 150°C / Min temp -
Ø What is SBR?

Ø What base layer are synthetic running tracks installed on?
For full size tracks; we recommend Asphalt; installed in a total thickness of 60mm (35mm levelling layer and a 25mm final layer) for the 3 layer seamless.

Ø Synthetic surface?? I want Tartan.
The original trade name "Tartan" came from 3M, the "Tartan" brand name was the first and was widely successful in its time, the name Tartan has been incorrectly used as a genericized trademark for description of a Synthetic running track / all-
Ø Why do some tracks have a gloss finish and some a matt Finish?
The matt finish is the EPDM embedded in the PU, the gloss finish is Conica's unique PU sealer applied airlessly. Sealer coats has three advantages; firstly binds the top layer of granules; additional protection against UV and extends the surface lifespan and also its warranty. Please note even though EPDM is highly UV resistant as a substance; not all pigments are equal. Classic red tracks (Coral Red RAL 3016) do not require a sealer coat as the colour is resistant to fade; however other colours do require the sealer coat.
What Colour athletic tracks are available?
