The RepairCore Series incorporates microcapsules filled with a wood-compatible resin into the flooring’s topcoat. When minor damage (scratches up to 0.5mm deep) occurs, the capsules rupture and release the resin, which cures within 24 hours to fill the damage and restore the surface. Testing shows the self-healing function works effectively for up to 500 minor repair cycles.
Despite the self-healing feature, the flooring maintains professional sports performance, meeting FIBA and BWF standards with a ball rebound rate of ≥87% and shock absorption of ≥53%. It’s available for basketball, badminton, and stage venues, with the same customization options as Limei’s traditional lines. The RepairCore Series is expected to reduce maintenance costs for venues by 35% over a 10-year period.
“Self-healing technology addresses a major pain point for venue operators who deal with constant minor damage,” said Dr. Li Wei, Limei’s Chief Innovation Officer. “RepairCore not only saves time and money but also keeps sports floors looking and performing like new for longer.”
The RepairCore Series will launch globally in Q4 2026, with pilot installations at the O2 Arena in London and the Sydney Superdome already confirmed.
