Abstract: Described herein are anti-skid compositions that exhibit good mechanical strength, water resistance, and minimal product transfer. In certain aspects, the anti-skid compositions can be applied to articles using an aerosol delivery system. The anti-skid compositions can be applied to any article such as, for example, a rug, floor mat, chair mat, runner, and the like. The anti-skid compositions are particularly effective in preventing sliding or skidding of area rugs on or across substrates such as, for example, hard floors.

Abstract: Described herein are conductive aqueous-based adhesive compositions that comprise (a) an aqueous-based adhesive and (b) carbon black, graphite, or a combination thereof. The aqueous-based adhesive compositions are particularly effective at preventing the buildup of static charge and at reducing electrostatic discharge events. In certain aspects, the aqueous-based adhesive compositions can be mixed with propellants and applied to substrates using an aerosol delivery system. The aqueous-based adhesive compositions described herein can readily be adhered to any substrate such as, for example, floors, walls, ceilings, and the like.
