ABSTRACT:
A multi-layered, slip-resistant, absorbent, and disposable mat is provided for absorbing oil and other liquids while retaining a slip-resistant surface upon which to walk after the oil and other liquids have been absorbed. A first layer of the mat is a fluid impermeable sheet with a slip-resistant surface, such as biodegradable plastic, foil, or rubber material, with the slip-resistant surface facing down toward a floor surface. A second layer is a glue material applied onto the face up surface of the fluid impermeable sheet. A third layer is an absorbent material applied to the glue material. The absorbent material may be cotton fiber, polymer material, polyethylene sponge, cellulose fiber, or other suitable material or a combination thereof, and preferably shaped into spherical or cylindrical beads. A fourth layer is a non-absorbent, fluid-permeable and slip-resistant material placed over the absorbent material. The fourth layer may be a screen or mesh, preferably comprised of nylon or nylon-covered metal. Finally, a combination of glue, heat, and pressure is applied to a surrounding perimeter defined by respective edges of the fluid-impermeable sheet and the fluid permeable and slip-resistant material, thereby to prevent misalignment of said layers, and to define an outside perimeter of the multi-layered, slip-resistant absorbent, and disposable mat. The mat may be manufactured as a length of mat and stored as a roll from which individual mini-mats may be separated therefrom at predetermined perforations.
