TrackTack is a liquid soil tackifier and stabilizer used to reduce dust, erosion and surface wear on BMX tracks, pump tracks and trails. It can be used as a surface seal coat or as the binder in a compatible soil slurry, depending on the site and performance goal.
A polymer treatment cannot correct a weak base, poor drainage or unsuitable soil. The dependable approach is to diagnose the surface, prepare a representative test section and establish the dilution, coverage and application sequence with GoIndustrial before treating the full track.
Quick answer
Repair drainage and shape first. Test TrackTack on the actual site soil, apply the approved system evenly to a compacted surface, keep traffic off during curing and document the result. Do not copy a rate from another track: soil, weather, slope, traffic and equipment change the treatment.
What TrackTack does
TrackTack penetrates and binds compatible soil particles, helping the prepared surface resist wind-blown dust, rain erosion and traffic wear. A lighter surface treatment may be used for dust control, while a heavier treatment or soil slurry may be selected for greater stabilization. The product normally dries clear; project-specific pigments may be available for visual coverage confirmation.
Results depend on the soil gradation, clay content, moisture, compaction and depth of treatment. A successful test on one red-clay track is not an automatic specification for a different local soil.
Before application
- Map soft spots, ruts, standing water, runoff paths and high-impact braking or landing zones.
- Repair the base and drainage before applying a surface treatment.
- Confirm the soil or slurry components and collect a representative sample.
- Choose application equipment that can meter and distribute the liquid consistently.
- Review weather, cure time, event dates and the traffic-control plan.
- Identify nearby drains, ponds, streams and vegetation that need protection.
Ask GoIndustrial for the current product information, safety data and project guidance. Record the product batch, proposed dilution, treated area and weather so the trial can be repeated or adjusted rationally.
Application plan
-
Build and compact the test section
Use the same soil, grading, moisture and compaction planned for the full track. Include a representative turn, transition or straight rather than testing only an easy area.
-
Define the treatment objective
Decide whether the priority is dust suppression, erosion resistance, a sealed riding surface or a slurry repair. The objective controls the system and evaluation.
-
Confirm the project-specific mix
Use the dilution, slurry formula and application rate supplied or approved for the site. Measure water and concentrate; do not estimate from tank markings or operator memory.
-
Apply evenly
Use spray or slurry equipment suited to the system. Work methodically, control overlaps and prevent runoff or ponding. Keep people and riders out of the work zone.
-
Allow undisturbed cure
Protect the section from traffic, rain, irrigation and contamination for the stated cure period. Temperature, humidity and treatment depth affect readiness.
-
Evaluate under real conditions
Inspect dust, raveling, rutting, water resistance, grip and rider feedback. Photograph the same locations and record the number of operating days.
-
Approve or adjust
Only scale up after the trial meets the performance and safety criteria. Change one variable at a time when tuning the system.
Inspection and maintenance
Check the track after rain, freeze-thaw cycles, grooming and events. High-load zones may need different maintenance intervals than straights. Repair localized base or shape failures before recoating; simply adding more polymer to a moving or saturated area can waste material and conceal the cause.
Keep a treatment log with date, area, soil condition, dilution, quantity, equipment, weather, cure time and observations. That record becomes the site-specific maintenance specification.
Safety and limits
Track design and riding-surface safety require experienced judgement. Keep the course closed during preparation, application and cure. Prevent overspray and runoff, and treat any wet polymer spill as a serious slip hazard. Follow the current SDS and all environmental, drainage and local operating requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Can TrackTack fix a muddy track?
It can improve a properly built compatible surface, but it cannot replace drainage, base repair, grading or compaction. Correct water and soil problems first.
What dilution should I use?
There is no universal rate for every track. Contact GoIndustrial with the soil, treated area, application method and performance goal, then verify the recommendation on a test section.
Can it be used as a slurry binder?
Yes, the GoIndustrial product page describes TrackTack for surface seal coats and compatible soil slurries such as clay or red brick dust. The slurry design must be tested with the actual materials.
When can riders return?
Only after the approved cure period and a site inspection confirm the surface is dry, stable and safe. Weather and treatment depth can change the time.
