Solution Overview

Problem

Existing anti-slipping and flame retardant agents are often ineffective, hazardous, and environmentally harmful, posing risks to users and the environment, and they do not effectively address the need for safe, cost-effective, and convenient solutions for eliminating pathogens and contaminants.

Innovation Solution

A liquid loading and coating composition is developed using a granular absorbent material coated with a silane or siloxane water repellent, combined with absorbable agents like rapeseed oil or flame retardants, which forms a surface bonded film to enhance anti-slipping and fire retardation properties.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional anti-slipping agents are used, then anti-slipping effectiveness is achieved, but safety and environmental harm worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-slipping effectivenessVSAvoidsafety and environmental harm
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by using food-grade silane or siloxane water repellents instead of traditional harmful anti-slipping agents. This parameter change maintains anti-slipping effectiveness while eliminating the harmful effects associated with conventional agents, as the new materials are specifically designed to be safe and environmentally friendly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite material system combining granular absorbent material (such as perlite, zeolite, or activated carbon) with silane or siloxane water repellents. This composite approach integrates the absorbency properties of the granular material with the water-repelling and anti-slipping properties of the silane/siloxane coating, achieving both effectiveness and safety simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If dry cleaning methods with powder are used, then contamination is addressed, but ease of operation and cleanliness worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecontaminationVSAvoidease of operation and cleanliness
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs liquid loading and coating techniques instead of dry powder application. The granular absorbent material is coated with liquid silane or siloxane water repellents, creating a controlled liquid-phase application process. This eliminates the tracking and contamination issues associated with dry powders while maintaining effective contamination removal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #29Pneumatics and hydraulics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the physical state parameter from solid powder to liquid coating. By applying silane or siloxane water repellents in a liquid phase onto the granular absorbent material, the system achieves better control over application, prevents powder tracking, and eliminates the need for extensive sweeping operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If Portland cement mixture is used, then anti-slipping is achieved, but manufacturing precision and purity worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-slippingVSAvoidmanufacturing precision and purity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by replacing Portland cement mixture with food-grade silane or siloxane water repellents. This parameter change eliminates the unwanted silt and impurities associated with cement-based materials while maintaining anti-slipping effectiveness through the water-repelling properties of the silane/siloxane coating.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes the porous structure of granular absorbent materials (such as perlite, zeolite, or activated carbon) as the base matrix. These naturally porous materials provide both absorbency and surface area for the silane or siloxane coating to adhere to, creating a clean and pure composition without the unwanted byproducts of cement mixtures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials
