Patent ID: 7419942

Claim:
A method of producing a lubricious coating for reducing mobility over a target surface comprising: forming an emulsion or dispersion in water of a polymer and dispersed in an oil phase selected from the group consisting of polyacrylamides, polyacrylates, polyacrylic acids, and copolymers thereof; mixing the emulsion or dispersion with an acrylic or acrylamide polymer particles at a particle size of about 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm to form a slurry; combining the slurry with water at 5-40 parts water to one part slurry by volume or weight; and coating at least a portion of said target surface with said lubricious coating, wherein the water is added to the slurry as the slurry is dispensed to said target surface and forming said viscous gel coating on said target surface.
