Removable protective coating

A protective covering system comprising:

• a substrate comprising a major surface;
• a first layer applied to the major surface of the substrate, the first layer comprising a first polymeric material, the first layer being continuous and removably bonded to the major surface;
• a second layer comprising a particulate applied directly to the first layer, the second layer being discontinuous, the particulate comprising wood or cellulosic particulate and having a particulate size greater than a thickness of the first layer, a first portion of the particulate penetrating into the first layer and a second portion of the particulate sits above the first layer;
• wherein the second portion of the particulate sitting above the first layer forms a varied topography.

A protective coating for removably bonding to a surface, the protective coating comprising a first major surface opposite a second major surface, the protective coating comprising:

• a first layer comprising a first polymer selected from rubber and silicone, the first layer having a first thickness;
• a second layer applied to the first layer, the second layer comprising a cellulosic particulate and having an average particulate size, the second layer being discontinuous;
• and
• a third layer applied to the second layer, the third layer comprising a second polymer matrix, the third layer being continuous and located entirely above the first layer;
• wherein the average particle size of the cellulosic particulate is greater than the first thickness of the first layer;
• wherein the second layer is applied such that a first portion of the second layer at least partially penetrates the first layer and at least a second portion of the second layer sits above the first layer;
• and
• wherein the third layer encapsulates the second portion of the second layer such that the first major surface of the protective coating is defined by the third layer.
