International Tennis Federation
As an engaged affiliate within the International Tennis Federation (ITF) community, Advanced Polymer Technology has helped elevate the standard of tennis play around the world through Laykold, our flagship acrylic surfacing system engineered for performance, safety, and longevity. From municipal parks and university complexes to high-profile events, Laykold has become a trusted choice for organizations that expect tennis courts with consistent ball response, reliable footing, and a surface that stands up to heavy schedules and varied climates.
Advanced Polymer Technology and the International Tennis Federation
Advanced Polymer Technology’s work aligns closely with the ITF’s mission to support safe, fair, and world-class tennis. Laykold tennis court systems are developed and tested to meet rigorous performance criteria commonly referenced across the industry, including consistency of bounce, point-of-impact friction, and shock attenuation. Our teams continually refine formulations and build-ups in line with evolving standards and best practices recognized across the global tennis community. The result is a family of systems purpose-built for how the modern game is played: faster, more physical, and under greater use than ever.
Why Laykold Stands Out
Tennis rewards precision, and Laykold delivers it. Our surfaces are engineered for uniform friction and energy return across the entire court, helping players trust their footing on explosive first steps and directional changes while enjoying a predictable bounce they can plan points around. Laykold also offers both hard and cushioned systems. The cushioned options incorporate resilient layers designed to help reduce joint stress during long matches and intensive training sessions, which can be an advantage for athletes and facilities that log hours of daily play.
Facilities can tailor a Laykold build-up to target specific speed characteristics, aligning the surface with coaching philosophies, player development goals, and event requirements. That tunability makes Laykold a strong fit for everything from community programming to elite competition. In addition, UV-stable resins and high-quality aggregates help Laykold resist fading, chalking, and surface abrasion. The system is formulated to withstand punishing sun, humidity, temperature swings, and frequent play, delivering a long service life and attractive lifecycle economics.
Versatility Across Climates and Venues
One hallmark of Laykold from Advanced Polymer Technology is adaptability. Whether installed indoors or outdoors, in coastal humidity or high-desert dryness, the system maintains its performance profile with minimal maintenance. Facilities can specify colors and line sets for competition or training, integrate branding, and even incorporate multi-sport markings where programming demands it. This versatility is why Laykold tennis courts are chosen for clubs, schools, municipalities, and tournaments overseen within the broader International Tennis Federation ecosystem.
Built for Programs, Not Just Courts
Modern facilities juggle programming that spans junior development, adult leagues, wheelchair tennis, performance training, and televised events. Laykold supports this breadth with:
- High throughput readiness: Surfaces that handle daily camps and clinics without premature wear.
- Accessibility and inclusivity: Consistency that benefits players of all ages and abilities, including adaptive tennis.
- Broadcast-friendly aesthetics: Crisp, glare-managed colorways that enhance visibility for players, officials, and spectators.
Continuous Innovation
Advanced Polymer Technology invests in R&D to push surface science forward, evaluating resins, fillers, and cushion technologies while modeling wear under real-world use and gathering feedback from coaches, athletes, and facility managers. These insights loop directly into Laykold’s product roadmap, ensuring the system evolves with the game and with the performance benchmarks referenced across the International Tennis Federation landscape.
