Tru Mark personnel conducted a series of tests on the newest series of SwitchBack Double Play Liquid Chalk products. Different colors, Soccer Yellow, Red Zone, Deep Blue, and Tiger Orange were diluted 1 to 1 with water and then applied to synthetic turf test strips.

The colors are very vivid even after a 0.6 inch rain. With traditional foot traffic (scuffing) the dried liquid chalk is removed and remaining dust can be rinsed away with water.

This product appears to be an excellent choice for those facility managers (and sports groups) that need to add temporary sports lines to synthetic turf surfaces but do not want removable paint products applied. The liquid chalk application performs very closely to a traditional dry chalk applications while reducing the amount of material applied (and build up) to the turf fibers and any infield material.

A low pressure low volume airless paint sprayer would be an excellent line striper for applying the SwitchBack Double Play product. Washington Nationals and the Minnesota Twins baseball organizations are using the Tru Mark EZ-70 Stow-in-Go field marker for their field line marking requirements, including applying paint to the skinned areas of the baseball diamond.
