Abstract
Abstract A formulation for surface coating applications, particularly surfaces which are in frequent contact with water and remain water-wet, and/or surfaces of elastomeric and plastic foams, especially foams fabricated from polyethylene and polyurethane resins. The formulation includes a vehicle consisting primarily of a block polymer of styrene/ethylene/butylene/styrene and methylmethacrylate copolymer or related block polymer with lesser degrees of ethylenic unsaturation together with a rubber tackifier, with fillers being provided including particulate colloidal or powdered silicon dioxide, and glass microspheres having an average size of less than about 70 microns. The formulation is such that it is adaptable to be applied by either air pressure spray systems or aerosol packaging techniques.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
Surface coating formulation for application to surfaces in contact with water for providing surface roughness and for increasing frictional and anti-slip characteristics of such surfaces while wet, said formulation comprising: (a) a styrene/ethylene/butylene/styrene block copolymer and contained in said formulation in an amount ranging from between about 30 and 60 parts by weight; (b) finely divided silicon dioxide filler selected from the group consisting of particulate colloidal and powdered silicon dioxide and contained in said formulation in an amount ranging from between about 3 and 10 parts by weight; (c) solvent solution of methylmethacrylate copolymer solids and contained in said formulation in an amount ranging from between about 15 parts and 25 parts by weight; (d) rubber tackifier solids and contained in said formulation in an amount ranging from between about 5 parts and 15 parts by weight; and (e) glass microspheres substantially uniformly distributed in said formulation and having an average size of up to about 70 microns, and contained in said formulation in an amount ranging from between about 5 parts and 15 parts by weight.
