Here's an English version of the explanation for common types of synthetic (PU) running tracks and their suitable applications:

1. Full-PU Track

Features:

Made entirely of polyurethane (PU), offering excellent elasticity, durability, and weather resistance.

Smooth, flat surface with strong slip resistance and impact resistance.

Best for:

Professional athletic stadiums

High-level training venues

Schools or facilities requiring premium performance and durability.

2. Composite Track

Features:

Elastic granules as the base layer with a PU top layer.

Balances good elasticity and durability at a lower cost than full-PU tracks.

Best for:

Large and medium-sized school sports fields

Training venues

Facilities that need high performance but have a moderate budget.

3. Hybrid Track

Features:

PU base layer topped with EPDM granules.

Stable performance and shorter construction period.

Best for:

School playgrounds

Fitness tracks.

4. Permeable Track

Training paths or jogging trails.

5. Prefabricated Roll Track

Features:

Factory-produced rubber rolls installed on-site.

High flatness, quick installation, and eco-friendly materials.

Indoor sports venues

Gyms or fitness centers

Facilities emphasizing high flatness and eco-friendliness.

6. EPDM Surface (Non-standard Track)

Features:
