Abstract

A floor covering with improved slip resistance is disclosed, including an essentially web or sheet shaped base material of an elastomeric material with an anti-slip surface including granular particles. In order to guarantee a simple manufacture and further processing of the floor covering, the granular particles consist in accordance with the invention of a polymeric material which has a hardness significantly higher than that of the elastomeric material.

Claims (18)

1. A floor covering with high slip resistance, comprising an essentially web or sheet shaped base of an elastomeric material with an anti-slip surface including granular particles made of a polymeric material having a hardness significantly higher than a hardness of the base material.
2. The floor covering as defined in claim 1, wherein the polymeric material includes a thermoplastic and/or duroplastic material spread onto the surface of the base material or admixed into the base material.
3. The floor covering as defined in claim 2, wherein the thermoplastic material is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material.
4. The floor covering as defined in claim 3, wherein the semi-crystalline thermoplastic material includes those thermoplastic polymers having a melting point below or in the range of a vulcanization temperature of the elastomeric base material.
5. The floor covering as defined in claim 4, wherein the semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymeric material includes those polymers which in a temperature range of 100 °C to 250 °C have an exothermic melting peak in the thermogram according to the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) test according to DIN 53765.
6. The floor covering as defined in any one of claims 2 to 5, wherein the thermoplastic polymers are selected from the group consisting of polyolefins, modified polyolefins, semi-crystalline polyamides and/or polyesters.
7. The floor covering as defined in any one of claims 1 to 6, wherein the particles as spread onto the surface of the base material have a mean grain size between 100 µm and 800 µm determined by a sieve analysis according to DIN 66165.
8. The floor covering as defined in claim 7, wherein the grain size is 300 µm.
9. The floor covering as defined in any one of claims 1 to 8, wherein the particles are spread onto the surface of the base material in an amount between 30 cm3/m2 and 360 cm3/m2.
10. The floor covering as defined in claim 9, wherein the amount is between 100cm3/m2 and 250cm3/m2.
11. The floor covering as defined in any one of claims 1 to 10, wherein the particles are admixed into the base material and the mean grain size of the particles is between 100 µm and 2000 µm measured by sieve analysis according to DIN 66165.
12. The floor covering as defined in claim 11, wherein the mean grain size is about 500 µm.
13. The floor covering as defined in any one of claims 1 to 12, wherein the particles are admixed into the base material and the portion of the admixed particles is between 10 and 40% of the volume of the base material.
14. The floor covering as defined in claim 13, wherein the portion is between 14 and 25%.
15. The floor covering as defined in any one of claims 1 to 14, wherein the base material is SBR (poly-styrol-butadiene-caoutchouc), NBR (nitrile-butadiene-caoutchouc), EPM (ethylene-propylene-caoutchouc), EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene-caoutchouc), EVA (ethylenevinylacetate), CSM (chlorosulfonyl-polyethylene-caoutchouc), VSi (silicone-caoutchouc) and/or AEM (ethylene-acrylate-caoutchouc), when crosslinked by sulfur, peroxide and/or addition, or mixtures thereof.
16. The floor covering as defined in any one of claims 1 to 15, wherein the base material includes a mineral filler.
17. The floor covering as defined in claim 16, wherein the filler is clay, chalk, silicic acid or silicic chalk or mixtures thereof.
18. The floor covering as defined in claim 1, wherein the hardness of the polymeric material is at least 10 shore D higher than that of the elastomeric material.
