Abstract
A protective sheet and method for protecting an object is disclosed. The protective sheet or drop cloth is made from a blend comprising ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and polyethylene (PE), making it naturally liquid impervious and slip resistant. The protective sheet includes a top side having a raised surface design configured for retaining fluid, and a bottom side that is smoother than the top side for added slip resistance. The method comprises the steps of providing the protective sheet and positioning it over the object, wherein the top side faces away from the object, and the bottom side faces the object and the top side is available for a workman to walk on.

A slip resistant protective sheet made from a blend comprising ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and polyethylene (PE), wherein the protective sheet includes a top side that faces away from an object to be protected by the sheet and a bottom side that faces the object to be protected by the sheet, wherein the top side has a raised surface design comprising a plurality of raised ridges, wherein the bottom side has a smoother surface than the top side, wherein the blend imparts slip resistance of the protective sheet, and wherein the blend imparts adhesion of the protective sheet.
A method for protecting an object comprising:
- providing a slip resistant protective sheet made from a blend comprising ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and polyethylene (PE), the sheet defining a top side having a raised surface design comprising a plurality of raised ridges and a bottom side that is smoother than the top side, wherein the blend imparts slip resistance and adhesion of the protective sheet;
- and positioning the protective sheet over the object, wherein the top side faces away from the object, and the bottom side faces the object.
