Patent ID: 11492511

Abstract:
The disclosure concerns a thin light weight essentially water impervious UV resistant non-abrasive traction imparting surfacing material for marine applications adhered to a solid non-elastomeric structural surface and a process for production of it. The surfacing material is a between about 2 and 4 mm thick flexible cured layer of a trowelable adhesive sealant into which were deeply embedded sufficient elastomeric granules with a maximum dimension between about 0.5 and 4 mm to cover the surface of the adhesive sealant layer before it cured. It is prepared by applying an evenly distributed layer of the adhesive sealant onto the structural surface with a trowel or similar means. Then elastomeric granules with a maximum dimension between about 0.5 and 4 mm are distributed on said layer to essentially cover the surface and then deeply embedded into the adhesive sealant layer. A rolling pin may be used to embed the granules.
