What is Speed glue and boosting in Table Tennis?

Treatments applied to rubber sponge to increase catapult effect. Volatile-solvent speed glue is banned, as are after-factory 'boosters'; rackets at major events undergo testing for illegal treatments.

Example: The racket failed testing and the player had to use a back-up bat.
