Lancaster, PA (March 17, 2021) – Ecore, a manufacturer of safe, ergonomic, and acoustic performance surfaces for commercial and athletic markets, introduces its newest Ecore Athletic surface: HydroGrip Motivate. This engineered surface features a slip resistant safety floor surface layer that is fusion bonded to a 5mm vulcanized composition rubber (VCR) base layer (Motivate) using Ecore’s patented itsTRU™ technology.

“HydroGrip Motivate is a true safety flooring surface that provides superior slip resistance in addition to ergonomic support and comfort under foot,” said Bo Barber, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Ecore. “The surface’s innovative VCR backing, called Motivate, provides a force reduction of 11.9% and energy restitution of 66.6% for optimal performance and safety. Motivate also eliminates the need for an underlayment.”

Available in six colors, HydroGrip Motivate is ideal for wet areas, locker rooms and bathrooms where safety is a top priority. This easy-to-maintain surface is also hygienic due to its heat-welded installation.

HydroGrip Motivate features Ecore’s patented itsTRU™ technology, a proprietary manufacturing process that starts with rubber that is diverted from landfills and incineration and upcycled into vulcanized composition rubber (VCR) using a pressurized process that fusion bonds the VCR to virtually any flooring surface. The innovative technology develops and captures energy so flooring surfaces can absorb force while returning usable energy back to the body.
