A method of producing an anti-slip surface on a component which comprises firstly applying to the surface of the component a layer of fibre reinforcement, and then a layer of a mineral material, and binding the two with a thermosetting resin matrix. Within the surface there may be a tread pattern, and located below the bottom of the recesses of this pattern is a highly reinforced layer of glass fibre composite. The functions of the latter is primarily to link the blocks of tread together and hence prevent them being peeled from the surface of the cover. Secondly it helps strengthen the bond to the cover surface by reinforcing the resin at the bond interface. |
