- 5. The lubricious coating according to claim 1, wherein a ratio of water to the polymer particle ranges from about 7:1 to about 16:1 by weight.
- 6. The lubricious coating according to claim 1, wherein a ratio of water to the polymer particle is about 8:1 by weight.
- 7. The lubricious coating according to claim 1, wherein the coating is environmentally friendly.
- 8. The lubricious coating according to claim 1, wherein the coating can be dispensed on, and adheres to, horizontal, sloping or vertical surfaces.
- 9. The lubricious coating according to claim 1, further comprising additives selected from the group of malodorants, obnoxious chemicals, colorants, and mixtures thereof.
- 10. The lubricious coating according to claim 1, wherein the polymer particle has a mean particle size of less than 0.425 mm.
- 11. The lubricious coating according to claim 1, wherein the polymer particle has a mean particle size ranging from about 0.01 mm to about 0.50 mm.
- 12. A method of producing the lubricious coating of claim 1, comprising mixing the polymer particle and water immediately prior to applying the coating to a target surface.
- 13. The method according to claim 12, wherein a ratio of water to the polymer particle ranges from about 7:1 to about 16:1 by weight.
- 14. The method according to claim 12, wherein a ratio of water to the polymer particle is about 8:1 by weight.
- 15. The method according to claim 12, comprising dispensing the polymer particle to a target surface that has been pre-wetted, and adding water to the dispensed polymer on the target surface.
- 16. The method according to claim 15, wherein a ratio of water to the polymer particle ranges from about 7:1 to about 16:1 by weight.
- 17. The method according to claim 15, wherein a ratio of water to the polymer particle is about 8:1 by weight.
- 18. A lubricious coating comprising at least a polymer particle and glycerol or oil.
- 19. The lubricious coating according to claim 18, wherein a ratio of glycerol or oil to the polymer particle ranges from about 7:1 to about 16:1 by weight.
- 20. The lubricious coating according to claim 18, wherein a ratio of glycerol or oil to the polymer particle is about 8:1 by weight.
- 21. The lubricious coating according to claim 18, wherein the coating impedes all speeds of traffic.
- 22. The lubricious coating according to claim 18, wherein the coating can be dispensed on, and adheres to, horizontal, sloping or vertical surfaces.
- 23. The lubricious coating according to claim 22, wherein the coating, when dispensed on a surface of at least one of a building structure, a tool, equipment and machinery, impedes navigation or handling of the building structure, the tool, equipment or machinery.
