Patent ID: 8091310

Claim:
A multilayer material comprising: a) an open net-like fabric layer comprising i) a first plurality of strands laid roughly parallel to one another and spaced apart in a first direction, where the first plurality of strands are thick strands, and ii) a second plurality of strands that are laid roughly parallel to one another and spaced apart in a second direction across the first plurality of strands, where the second direction is different from the first direction, and where the second plurality of strands are thin strands, wherein the first plurality of strands and the second plurality of strands are affixed to one another such that the open net-like fabric layer comprises a first surface and a second surface; b) a polymer film layer having a first surface and a second surface; and c) a third sheet-like substrate having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the third sheet-like substrate comprises nonwoven fabric, woven fabric, scrim, netting, woven tape material, flash-spun material, or a combination thereof; wherein the first surface of the open net-like fabric layer and the first surface of the polymer film layer are bonded together coextensively; wherein the first surface of the third sheet-like substrate is bonded coextensively across the second surface of the polymer film layer; and wherein the resulting multilayer material has a dry-surface slip resistance of at least about 1000 gf or a wet-surface slip resistance of at least about 1200 gf, as measured by the modified coefficient of friction test.
