Abstract

A coating or traffic bearing surface having a slow-set polyurea and an aggregate embedded throughout the polyurea.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A traffic bearing surface comprising a slow-set polyurea and an aggregate embedded throughout the slow-set polyurea.  
   
   
       2 . The traffic bearing surface of  claim 1  wherein the slow-set polyurea is a polyurea having a set time of greater than about five minutes.  
   
   
       3 . The traffic bearing surface of  claim 1  wherein the slow-set polyurea is a polyurea having a set time of greater than about 10 minutes.  
   
   
       4 . The traffic bearing surface of  claim 1  wherein the aggregate is substantially embedded in the polyurea.  
   
   
       5 . The traffic bearing surface of  claim 1  wherein the slow-set polyurea is a coating on a surface of a supporting structure.  
   
   
       6 . The traffic bearing surface of  claim 1  wherein the traffic bearing surface comprises two or more layers of slow-set polyurea with aggregate fully embedded in each of the two or more layers.  
   
   
       7 . The traffic bearing surface of  claim 1 , further comprising a top layer of a polyurea covering the slow-set polyurea containing the embedded aggregate.  
   
   
       8 . The traffic bearing surface of  claim 7  wherein the top layer of polyurea is a fast set polyurea.  
   
   
       9 . A coating comprising a slow-set polyurea on a surface of a supporting structure, said slow-set polyurea forming a polyurea layer having a top surface, a middle portion, and a bottom surface, said bottom surface of the polyurea being in contact with the surface of the supporting structure; and an aggregate substantially embedded between the top surface and the bottom surface and throughout the middle portion of the polyurea layer.  
   
   
       10 . The coating of  claim 9  wherein the polyurea layer has a thickness of between about one-eighth of an inch and about one-half of an inch.  
   
   
       11 . The coating of  claim 9  wherein the aggregate is fully embedded in the slow-set polyurea.  
   
   
       12 . The coating of  claim 9  wherein the aggregate is embedded in the slow-set polyurea in a substantially uniform consistency throughout the polyurea layer.  
   
   
       13 . The coating of  claim 9 , further comprising a top layer of a polyurea covering the slow-set polyurea containing the embedded aggregate.  
   
   
       14 . The coating of  claim 9  wherein the top layer of polyurea is a fast set polyurea.  
   
   
       15 . A method of forming a coating containing an aggregate, the method comprising: 
 applying a slow-set polyurea layer onto a surface of a supporting structure; and    broadcasting an aggregate onto the polyurea layer, said broadcasted aggregate settling into the slow-set polyurea to embed the aggregate throughout the polyurea coating prior to a setting of the slow-set polyurea.    
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein applying a slow-set polyurea is at least one of spraying, pumping and spreading.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 15  wherein applying the slow-set polyurea produces a polyurea layer having a thickness of between about one-eighth of an inch and about one-half of an inch.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the aggregate settles into the slow-set polyurea to become embedded in the slow-set polyurea having a uniform consistency throughout the slow-set polyurea.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the applying of the slow-set polyurea includes applying the slow-set polyurea when the slow-set polyurea is at an ambient temperature.  
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the applying of the slow-set polyurea includes applying the slow-set polyurea when the slow-set polyurea is a temperature greater than an ambient temperature.  
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the slow-set polyurea has a set time of greater than about five minutes  
   
   
       22 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the slow-set polyurea has a set time of greater than about ten minutes.  
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising applying additional aggregate after broadcasting to a select portion of the top surface of the polyurea layer.  
   
   
       24 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising applying a second layer of a polyurea onto the polyurea layer containing the aggregate.  
   
   
       25 . The method of  claim 24  wherein applying the top layer follows a setting of the slow-set polyurea containing the aggregate.  
   
   
       26 . A coating produced according to the method of  claim 15.
