| abstract |
The gripping characteristics of the contact surface of a sole, a grip, handle, glove or the hand are enhanced by having applied thereto an aqueous mixture of: n a) a fluoroalkyl acrylate copolymer emulsion; and n b) a silicone polymer micro emulsion; n and allowing said applied aqueous mixture to dry thus forming a thin film or a thin treated layer of either a continuous or discontinuous nature which imparts enhanced gripping characteristics to the substrate. |
