Abstract
A tile element for use in technical wet areas on vessels with a slip resistant surface with a first macroscopic waviness and a microscopic roughness, a rectangular shape designed for grouted laying of several tiles in an abutting arrangement, and a lower adhesion surface is provided. A method for producing a slip resistant vessel floor covering for technical wet areas is also provided. The tile element consists of plastics and is produced from at least two different raw materials in a chemical cross-linking reaction.
Claims20
Tile element for use in technical wet areas on vessels, comprising:
- a slip resistant surface with a first macroscopic waviness and a microscopic roughness;
- a rectangular shape for grouted or non-grouted installation of several tiles in an abutting arrangement;
- and
- a lower adhesion surface,
- wherein the tile element comprises plastics and is produced from at least two different raw materials in a chemical cross-linking reaction.
Method of producing a slip-resistant vessel floor covering for technical wet areas, comprising:
- providing a casting mold with a cavity or a recess comprising a negative mold for a surface with a first macroscopic waviness in the shape of one or several drainage channels, a second macroscopic waviness in the shape of several elevations over the surface and a microscopic roughness;
- mixing a first component with a second component that is different from the first to achieve a liquid two-component mixture;
- filling the two-component mixture into the casting mold;
- and
- removing a tile element from the casting mold following the reaction and hardening of the two-component mixture.
