Abstract:
An article useful in providing slip resistant surfaces for application to a substantially planar surface contaminated by oil, the article comprising:a backing having first and second major surfaces, the first major surface being a textured slip resistant surface; anda pressure sensitive adhesive coated on the second major surface of the backing to resist peel of the article from an oil contaminated surface, the adhesive prepared by polymerizing a composition of monomers consisting essentially of about 80 wt-% to about 90 wt-% of total monomers as isooctyl acrylate; from about 5 wt-% to about 10 wt-% of total monomers as acrylic acid; and from about 4 wt-% to about 8 wt-% of total monomers as an N-vinyl containing monomer, the pressure sensitive adhesive having a peel strength in excess of 35 Newtons per decimeter when in contact with an oil contaminated surface.
