<p>Up-armoring structure for protecting a selected surface including (a) a foundation layer formed of a chemically curable, elastomeric, urethane-based material applied to that surface, (b) a core layer of hardened armoring material embedded, at least partially, in the foundation layer, and (c) a coating overlayer of a chemically curable, elastomeric material which covers the core layer, and which is bonded molecularly to the foundation layer. The method of the invention includes (a) applying a chemically curable, elastomeric foundation layer to a surface which is to be armor protected, (b) embedding a core layer of hardened armoring material at least partially in the foundation layer, (c) creating over the core layer an overlayer of chemically curable, elastomeric material, and (d) molecularly bonding the coating layer to the foundation layer.</p> |
