Abstract

A filled multi-component material applied by a dispensing system is disclosed. The material can be produced by mixing a first reactive component comprising a resin and a filler with a second reactive component comprising a curing agent. The filler can comprise a hard filler and/or an elastic filler such as ground recycled tire material. The first reactive component and the second reactive component can be fed to a dispensing apparatus and mixed by a static mixer, each of which can be disposable. The mixture can then be dispensed onto a surface using air spray, airless spray or extrusion, for example. When applied to a surface, the mixture typically polymerizes and entrains the filler materials to provide a protective layer having improved properties. In certain embodiments, the filler materials can include recycled tires that have been ground into fine particles, providing environmentally friendly new products from old tires that typically end up as landfill.
