Latest Patents
Pollard holds a patent for a unique non-slip surface coating. This invention involves rounded quartz sand particles that are each enclosed in a hardenable resin skin. The resin integrates with the skins of adjacent particles, creating a strong binding to a primed base. A notable feature of this invention is that a significant fraction of the particles may be remote from the base, allowing for a contoured or embossed effect that enhances the non-slip feature. The process for forming this surface coating includes wetting the particles with a functional liquid, mixing them with a binder, and spraying the mixture using a progressive cavity pump. This innovative approach ensures that the pump operates under a Sigma effect, optimizing the particle/resin ratio.
