Courts You Can Count On: LOBA’s Finish and Care Products Are Now FIBA Approved

FIBA approval is recognized worldwide as a hallmark of quality. LOBA’s high-performance LOBADUR 2K Supra A.T. and 2K UltraSport floor finishes and its premium LOBACARE CareCleaner and SportCare products now wear this badge with pride.

 

These four superior waterbased products from LOBA meet FIBA’s (the International Basketball Federation) high standards, and are now officially recognized as basketball equipment. LOBADUR 2K Supra A.T in satin and LOBADUR 2K UltraSport in extramatt are now listed in FIBA’s Approved Equipment Guide, alongside LOBACARE CareCleaner and SportCare.

 

All four of these top-quality products have been approved for competition levels 1 and 2, which means they can be used for all types of competitions up to FIBA national and club tournaments as well as professional competitions at national and international level.

 

LOBADUR 2K Supra A.T. is a ceramic-reinforced polyurethane finish named LOBA Product of the Year in 2021. It is the most scratch-resistant waterbased finish on the market. 2K Supra A.T. provides long-lasting protection with very good filling properties and ensures surfaces stay extremely robust and durable with excellent resistance to chemicals, abrasion and friction. What’s more, 2K Supra A.T.’s optimized formula has phenomenal flow and wetting properties and is ready to use after just 12 hours. This versatile finish also checks all the right boxes when it comes to sustainability, having been placed in the EMICODE® EC1 class for its very low emissions. With a friction coefficient of > 0.5, it also meets the DIN 18032 standard for sports surfaces.

 

Our waterbased polyurethane finish LOBADUR 2K UltraSport is highly resistant to scuff marks, wear, chemicals and abrasion, making it the obvious choice for heavy-duty floors. Another property that sets this elastic finish apart as the ideal product for gyms and multipurpose halls is its superior resistance to heel marks and footprints. It is perfectly suited to parquet and wooden, linoleum and vinyl flooring. 2K UltraSport is impressively straightforward and safe to use and easily meets the friction coefficient set by DIN 18032 and EN 14904, the German and European standards for sports surfaces.

Our waterbased CareCleaner liquid and SportCare dispersing agent from our LOBACARE product family are perfect for cleaning and maintaining sports surfaces. CareCleaner is designed for all types of finished flooring and meets the German DIN 18032 standard for sports surfaces. This concentrated product can be used for cleaning by hand or with machines; a little goes a long way and makes a visible difference. Thanks to CareCleaner, environmentally harmful deep cleans are now a thing of the past.

 

SportCare keeps sports surfaces looking and functioning at their best, gives the finish coating long-term protection from wear, and brings back the glossiness in worn and tired floors. It also effectively prevents discoloring and makes surfaces extra slip-proof. It comfortably meets DIN 18032 and EN 14904, the German and European standards for sports surfaces.
