Flexibility that moves with asphalt

Introducing Laykold NuSurf, with up to 800% greater elongation properties than conventional resurfacers for more flexibility and improved crack resistance.

 
 

Modern asphalt surfaces are constantly moving. Expansion, contraction, surface wear, and minor cracking can quickly impact the quality and longevity of a court system if the wrong resurfacer is used.

That’s why Laykold developed NuSurf, a premium-quality, highly flexible acrylic resurfacer engineered specifically for asphalt substrates. More than just a filler coat, NuSurf combines advanced acrylic technology with superior flexibility to help installers create smoother, longer-lasting surfaces with improved crack resistance.

Why Do Asphalt Courts Fail?

Over time, asphalt courts naturally experience movement caused by:

  • Temperature fluctuations 

  • Surface aging and oxidation 

  • Minor cracking and substrate shifting 

  • Poor-quality resurfacing materials with limited flexibility 

Traditional acrylic resurfacers can become rigid and brittle, making them unable to move with the asphalt substrate. This often leads to reflective cracking, surface breakdown, and inconsistent playability.

Installers are increasingly being called back to repair surfaces that fail prematurely because the resurfacer simply cannot accommodate the natural movement of asphalt.

Why Flexibility Matters

Unlike standard acrylic resurfacer products, Laykold NuSurf delivers significantly enhanced elongation properties, offering up to 800% greater flexibility than conventional systems.

This added flexibility allows the coating system to better absorb substrate movement while maintaining a smoother, more consistent surface appearance.

NuSurf is specifically formulated for:

  • New asphalt surfaces 

  • Existing coated asphalt courts 

  • Minor surface imperfections and shallow depressions 

  • Elastomeric crack filling applications

By improving substrate flexibility and surface uniformity, NuSurf helps installers reduce visible surface defects while extending overall system performance.

How Does Laykold NuSurf Work?

Laykold NuSurf is supplied as a high-quality acrylic concentrate that is batch mixed with silica sand and water to create a durable, flexible filler coat.

Once applied, NuSurf:

  • Smooths rough asphalt textures

  • Helps minimize minor surface imperfections

  • Provides enhanced flexibility across moving asphalt substrates

  • Creates a consistent foundation for subsequent coating applications

For very minor depressions and crack filling, NuSurf can also function as an elastomeric filler when mixed with silica sand at equal ratios.
Its versatility allows contractors to adjust sand loading and texture profiles depending on project conditions and desired surface characteristics.

Many resurfacing issues on asphalt courts start with movement in the substrate. If the resurfacer can’t move with the pavement, problems show up quickly. NuSurf was designed to give installers a much more flexible solution while still delivering the durability and consistency they expect from Laykold systems.
