APPENDIX A – CALIFORNIA SPORTS COATING SYSTEM

PAGE 1 – REVISED 1.23.21

COURT PATCH BINDER

DESCRIPTION

California Court Patch Binder is a high strength acrylic latex bonding liquid specifically designed for field mixing with Portland cement and silica sand to patch new or existing asphalt and Portland cement concrete recreational surfaces. The resulting patch is hard, tough and durable.

SURFACE USE

Court Patch Binder Mix is intended for patching voids and depressions from 1/8” to 1-1/2” (0.32cm-3.81cm) deep over asphalt or concrete substrates. Do not install Court Patch Binder mix in lifts greater than 3/4”(1.91cm). CPB is not a topcoat; it is intended to be used with other California Sports Surfaces systems.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Surface must meet or exceed the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA) applicable Guidelines. Upgrading and recoating previously colored surfaces requires the surface and base construction to be in sound condition and in compliance with the applicable ASBA Guidelines.

New hot-mix asphalt surfaces must be allowed 14 days minimum cure time prior to application of Court Patch Binder. For new Portland cement concrete surfaces, a minimum of 28 days cure time is required. The surface on which Court Patch Binder is to be applied must be smooth, free of dirt, loose or flaking paint, oily materials or chemical residues, vegetation of any sort and any other debris or foreign matter that may prevent the proper product adhesion.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Only the primer coat is diluted, not the Court Patch Binder. Each lift must be allowed to dry between applications.

Court Patch Binder

Dry Silica Sand

60-80 mesh

Portland Cement (Type1)

Mix

3 gallons (11.4L) 100 lbs. (45kg) 1-2 gallons (3.8-7.6L) Premix sand and Portland cement before adding Court Patch Binder

Mix should not sit more than 15 minutes prior to application.

Mechanical drill mixer is recommended.

Periodic mixing should take place as job progresses to ensure consistent application.

APPLICATION

Prior to the application of surfacing materials, the entire surface shall be flooded with water and allowed to drain.

Any depressions that holds at least 1/8” (3mm) puddle after one hour should be marked with chalk, not crayon or a grease pencil. These areas must then be allowed to dry thoroughly. Once dried, a patch must be applied to the marked areas.

Court Patch Binder is best installed with a trowel or straight edge. The area to be patched should first be primed with a diluted coat of Court Patch Binder. (Do not dilute more than 2 parts water to 1 part CPB.) The area should be brushed, broomed or rolled over the entire area, and allowed to dry at least 1 hour. Pour the Court Patch Binder mix over the area to be patched and trowel into place. Edges of the patch should be “feathered” so as not to leave a ridge of material around the patch. Ridges should be removed with a scraper prior to a thorough cure. Once cured, an additional coat of diluted Court Patch Binder may be applied, as necessary, and allowed to dry. Allow to dry thoroughly before coating with the acrylic surface systems.

PAGE 2 – REVISED 1.23.21
