Abstract: There is provided a slip resistant sheet material for roofing having a thickness and being adapted for a worker to walk thereon in his footwear. The slip resistant sheet material comprises a single layer of non-woven material comprising surface texture transverse to the thickness of the slip resistance material whereby, when the worker walks on the slip resistant non-woven sheet material, there exists friction between the footwear and the surface texture in the slip resistant non-woven sheet material thereby providing slip resistance.

Abstract: The present document describes a slip resistant sheet material for roofing having a thickness and being adapted for a worker to walk thereon in his footwear. The slip resistant sheet material comprises a base layer and a thermoplastic layer affixed to the base layer. The thermoplastic layer comprises embossments and corresponding depressions transverse to the thickness of the slip resistance material whereby, when the worker walks on the slip resistant sheet material, there exists friction between the footwear and the embossments in the thermoplastic layer thereby providing slip resistance.

Abstract: The present document describes a slip resistant sheet material for roofing having a thickness and being adapted for a worker to walk thereon in his footwear. The slip resistant sheet material comprises a base layer and a thermoplastic layer affixed to the base layer. The base layer and the thermoplastic layer define projections and corresponding depressions transversely to the thickness of the slip resistance material whereby, when the worker walks on the slip resistant sheet material, there exists friction between the footwear and a combination comprising the projections and the thermoplastic layer thereby providing slip resistance.

Abstract: The present document describes a protective wrapper for a roll having two ends and a length defining a distance between the two ends, the protective wrapper comprising: first one layer of paper material having two opposed edges and an edge strip at at least one of the two opposed edges of the first layer of paper material, the edge strip comprises one and only one layer of the paper material and the edge strip is for being inwardly crimped against one of the two ends; and a layer of protective material superposed to the first layer of paper material, the layer of protective material not overlapping the edge strip; wherein the first layer of paper material has a width greater than the distance between the two ends of the roll.

Abstract: There is described a paper roll having an end, the poly-coated roll header comprising: a linerboard base having an inner surface; and a coating of a polypropylene mixed with a low density polyethylene applied to at least a portion of the inner surface of the linerboard base, wherein once applied to the end of the paper roll, the poly-coated roll header protects the end of the paper roll against the elements. There is also described a method for wrapping a paper roll having two ends and a length, the method comprising: installing a coated linerboard, previously coated with a polypropylene mixed with a low density polyethylene, at one of the two ends of the paper roll, thereby providing protection against the elements at the one of the two ends of the paper roll.
