Plexiglas surface with anti-slip properties and sanitary elements equipped with the latter

Abstract

PLEXIGLAS® is suitable—when provided with a structured and microrough surface —as an anti-slip covering for sanitary elements.

1 . Use of plastics mouldings with structured and micro-rough surfaces as antislip floor covering in barefoot areas affected by wet conditions. 
   
   
       2 . Antislip floor covering for barefoot areas affected by wet conditions,
 characterized in that   it is composed of a plastics moulding with structured and micro-rough surfaces.   
   
   
       3 . Sanitary element,
 characterized in that   it has an antislip floor covering according to  claim 2 .   
   
   
       4 . Use according to  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that   the plastics moulding is composed of poly(meth)-acrylate.   
   
   
       5 . Use according to  claim 4 ,
 characterized in that   the plastics moulding is composed of at least one layer composed of poly(meth)acrylate.   
   
   
       6 . Use of plastics mouldings according to  claim 4  as antislip covering for sanitary elements,
 characterized in that   raised structures have been arranged at the surface of the plastics moulding, the separation of the structures being from 500 μm to 6000 μm, the amount of the raised structures being from 1 to 500/cm 2 , and the height of the raised structures being from 20 μm to 500 μm, and the micro-roughness being from 1 μm to 50 μm.   
   
   
       7 . Use of plastics mouldings according to  claim 6  as antislip covering for sanitary elements,
 characterized in that   raised structures have been arranged at the surface of the plastics moulding, the separation of the structures being from 1500 μm to 4500 μm, the amount of the raised structures being from 1 to 250/cm 2 , and the height of the raised structures being from 20 μm to 500 μm, and the micro-roughness of the raised structures being from 2 μm to 40 μm.   
   
   
       8 . Use of plastics mouldings according to  claim 7  as antislip covering for sanitary elements,
 characterized in that   raised structures have been arranged at the surface of the plastics moulding, the separation of the structures being from 1500 μm to 4500 μm, the amount of the raised structures being from 1 to 250/cm 2 , and the height of the raised structures being from 20 μm to 500 μm, and the micro-roughness of the raised structures being from 1 μm to 15 μm.
