Goal Lines, Sidelines, Midlines: White Lines on Green Grass

Goal lines, sidelines, midlines, center circle. The laws of the game of the German Soccer Association, DFB, for the boundaries of the field of play and for the marking of goal areas, penalty areas and penalty marks are simple:

“The field of play must be rectangular and marked with continuous lines which present no risks. […] All lines must be of the same width, which must be not more than 12 cm (5 ins).”

In the past, these markings on the field of play were made with chalk. The disadvantage of using chalk for the line marking was, that chalk is quickly blown away and easily washed out by the rain. Today, comparatively long-lasting marking of the field of play is done with special liquid white marking paint.

Specialty Product for Football Field Marking

PERICOAT COMPOUND TUS is our specialty product for the marking of football fields. The product is applied by means of special spray-line markers on the field of play. When the pitch is getting marked for the first time, the product should be applied quite concentrated and the lawn should be cut as short as possible before the application. This way, the marking paint is not only spread on the blades of grass but also on the soil beneath.

Usually the field markings do not have to be re-applied weekly or before each match. The product is easy to handle and is applied after dilution with water. After the application it dries fairly quick and remains quite permanent. Even intensive rain is barely washing out the line marking. Depending on the mowing and of the lawn properties, the marking on the football field or sports ground is re-applied every two to four weeks. The white lines on the pitch made with PERICOAT COMPOUND TUS have a very high brilliancy.

When we developed the product, we were able to draw on our experience from the textile-chemical sector. PERICOAT COMPOUND TUS is a modern auxiliary for the brilliant, permanent marking of soccer grounds. As this white marking paint is a product, which is spread in the nature, the compound is based on clay. Clay is a natural product, which is also used as a physiologically harmless additive in the food as well as in the cosmetics industries.
