The present invention relates to a laminate, preferably a flooring laminate suitable
for use wherever traction is needed or desired, whether due to natural or man-made
conditions either indoors or outdoors. The laminate can be applied over existing
flooring. The laminate includes a base layer and a traction layer including a grit
material dispersed on a polymer. The base layer comprises a cured rubber blend
which has been granulated to a predetermined size and subsequently rebonded with
a polymeric base adhesive composition. At least some portion of the grit material
of the traction layer protrudes from the polymeric composition to provide anti-slip properties.
