  • Patent number: 10066343
    Abstract: An artificial paver comprises a physical member adapted to have a structure shape of a paver and located on the top surface of a paving area. The physical member may be made of a two-component polyurethane material, and the two-component material may be formulated to characterize the artificial paver to be softer than a stone or concrete paving object and to exhibit higher shock absorbing properties than the stone or concrete paving object. A method for manufacturing the artificial paver is also contemplated. The method may comprise pouring the two-component polyurethane material into molds, allowing the two-component polyurethane material in the molds to cure, demolding the cured two-component polyurethane material, and applying an UV stable polyurethane and slip-resistant coating to a surface of the demolded two-component polyurethane material.
