Abstract:
1. An elastomeric film comprising one or more layers and having a total thickness of from about 1 mil to about 15 mil, wherein at least one of said one or more layers comprises from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight of an anti-skid additive, wherein the anti-skid additive has a particle size of between 50 and 500 microns and does not melt or has a melt temperature greater than 500° F., and wherein said elastomeric film is such that: (i) a first sample of said elastomeric film having a width of 1 inch and a length of 8 inches has an elastic force of at least 97 psi at 600 seconds following a stretching cycle, said stretching cycle including stretching said first sample in the transverse direction to 50% elongation at a velocity of 20 inch/min and returning to 25% elongation, and (ii) a second sample of said elastomeric film having a width of 1 inch and a length of 8 inches exhibits an elongation of at least 6% following application of an average stress of 1000 psi to said second sample for 120 seconds.
