Abstract

An adhesive grip liner is provided which comprises a composite sheet material, an adhesive, and a release liner. The composite sheet material comprises a scrim embedded in a foamed resin. The adhesive contacts a bottom surface of the composite sheet and the release liner contacts the adhesive. The top surface has non-skid and non-adhesive properties. The adhesive grip liner is useful for lining horizontal surfaces, such as a shelf, and vertical surfaces, such as a rail cushion.

Claims (46)

1. An adhesive grip liner, comprising:

a composite sheet material comprising a scrim embedded in a continuous coating of a foamed resin, the composite sheet having foamed resin forming an exterior top surface and a bottom surface;

wherein the foamed resin is selected from the group consisting of foamed polyvinyl chloride plastisols, foamed polyurethanes, and foamed polyvinyl acetates; and

a repositionable adhesive connected to the bottom surface of the composite sheet material.

2. The adhesive grip liner of claim 1 , wherein the foamed resin is a foamed polyvinyl chloride plastisol.

3. The adhesive grip liner of claim 1 , wherein the top surface of the composite sheet is smooth.

4. The adhesive grip liner of claim 1 , wherein the top surface displays the underlying weave pattern of the scrim.

5. The adhesive grip liner of claim 1 , wherein one or more apertures are formed on the top surface of the composite sheet.

6. The adhesive grip liner of claim 1 , wherein the top surface has non-skid and non-adhesive characteristics.

7. The adhesive grip liner of claim 1 , wherein the top surface is impervious to water.

8. The adhesive grip liner of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

9. The adhesive grip liner of claim 1 , further comprising a release liner contacting the adhesive, wherein the release liner comprises a disposable liner with a release coating applied to a surface of the disposable liner, said surface contacting the adhesive.

10. The adhesive grip liner of claim 9 , wherein a release coating is applied to the top surface of the composite sheet and the top surface acts as the release liner; and,

the release coating contacting the adhesive wherein the grip liner is in rolled-up form.

11. The combination of a horizontal surface and the adhesive grip liner of claim 1 .

12. The combination of a vertical surface and the adhesive grip liner of claim 1 .

13. The adhesive grip liner of claim 1 , having a cushioning effect.

14. The adhesive grip liner of claim 1 , further comprising a vinyl film layer placed between the composite sheet material and the adhesive, the vinyl film layer providing a solid film barrier between the adhesive layer and the composite sheet material.

15. A non-skid grip liner, comprising:

a foam sheet material including a continuous coating forming an exterior top surface and a bottom surface, said top surface having a non-skid characteristic thereby preventing an object placed thereon from skidding laterally across said top surface;

a scrim embedded in the foam sheet material;

the foamed sheet material is selected from the group consisting of foamed polyvinyl chloride plastisols, foamed polyurethanes, and foamed polyvinyl acetates;

a pressure sensitive adhesive layer connected to the bottom surface of the foam sheet material for repositionable mounting to a substrate; and 4

a removable release liner protecting said adhesive layer.

16. The grip liner of claim 15 , wherein the top surface also has a non-adhesive characteristic.

17. The grip liner of claim 15 , wherein a vinyl film layer is present between the foam sheet material and the adhesive layer.

18. The grip liner of claim 15 , wherein the adhesive layer comprises a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

19. The grip liner of claim 15 , wherein the removable release liner comprises a disposable liner with a release coating applied to a surface of the disposable liner, said surface contacting the adhesive.

20. An adhesive liner, comprising:

a carrier, an adhesive, and a liner;

a foamable resin composition applied to the carrier;

the foamable resin composition foamed to obtain a continuous coating layer of foam sheet material forming and extending between a bottom surface and a non-porous exterior top surface;

the top surface includes a non-skid surface preventing objects from skidding laterally across the top surface;

the adhesive applied to the liner; and,

the adhesive connected to the bottom surface to form an adhesive grip liner.

21. The adhesive liner of claim 20 , wherein the carrier is a scrim and the foamable resin composition impregnates the scrim.

22. The adhesive liner of claim 20 , further comprising

a vinyl film intermediate the bottom surface and the adhesive.

23. The adhesive liner of claim 20 , wherein the adhesive is selected from the group consisting of removable adhesive and repositionable adhesive.

24. An adhesive liner, comprising:

a scrim, an adhesive, and a liner;

a foamable resin composition applied to and impregnating the scrim;

the foamable resin composition foamed to obtain a continuous coating layer of foam sheet material forming and extending between a bottom surface and a non-porous exterior top surface;

the top surface includes a non-skid surface preventing objects from skidding laterally across the top surface; and,

the adhesive connected to the bottom surface.

25. The adhesive liner of claim 24 , wherein the foamable resin composition is selected from the group consisting of foamed polyvinyl chloride plastisols, foamed polyurethanes, and foamed polyvinyl acetates.
