Rayson CourtFlex AC25 is a single-component, water-based, self-crosslinking acrylic co-polymer coating for sports courts and decorative concrete and masonry surfaces, forming a stain-resistant, easy-to-clean film.
Best for
Best for colour-coating outdoor sports courts, playgrounds and decorative concrete and masonry with a durable, non-yellowing acrylic finish.
Overview
CourtFlex AC25 is the colour coat of the Rayson sports range. The water-based acrylic co-polymer self-crosslinks as it dries, forming a surface film with excellent water resistance, durability, low dirt pick-up and stain resistance that keeps courts cleanable and bright.
It applies by brush or roller to concrete, stone, limestone, unglazed tiles, pavers, roof tiles and masonry or brick walls — covering basketball courts, playgrounds, decorative concrete and wall surfaces in one product family. The film is non-yellowing and suitable for interior and exterior use, with good water repellence and balanced hardness for surfaces that take footwear traffic.
A standard court build-up is a minimum of two coats, with dull patches receiving a further coat for uniform colour. Line marking and sport-specific texturing complete the system.

Frequently asked questions
How many coats does a court need?
A minimum of two coats for uniform colour and film build, with dull patches receiving a further coat. Heavily used courts benefit from a planned recoat cycle.
Will the colour fade in the sun?
The acrylic film is non-yellowing and formulated for exterior use. All court colours weather over years of UV — plan periodic recoats to keep colour and traction consistent.
Can it be used on walls or roof tiles?
Yes — masonry walls, brick walls and roof tiles are listed substrates alongside courts and decorative concrete.
How long before the court can be played on?
Confirm the drying, cure and reopening times with our technical team when programming works.
Does the court need slip texture?
Traction requirements vary by sport. Where a defined anti-slip profile is required, build the texture with GripSafe AP12 before colour-coating.
What preparation does an old court need?
Remove failed paint, biological growth and contamination; repair cracks and depressions; correct ponding. A sound, clean, dry surface is the whole game.
