20150059154 | Method of Rendering A Lacrosse Head Pocket Hydrophobic and Oleophobic - A hydrophobic and oleophobic coating is applied to the mesh netting of a lacrosse stick head in two layers. The application is made to the netting by coating the strings either before or after they are woven into the netting, but prior to installation on the lacrosse stick head. In the preferred method, each coating layer is applied in a wet thickness of 3.0 to 5.0 mils (0.003-0.005 inches). When the coating is dry, the result is a dry film thickness of 1.0-1.5 mils (0.001 to 0.0015 inches) for each layer. Thus, two layers of the coating have a total dry thickness of 2-3 mils (0.002-0.003 inches). As a result of the coating method, a surface tension is created on the surfaces of the mesh that prevents water, dirt, mud and oil from attaching to the mesh, thus preventing these materials from permeating the mesh. | 03-05-2015 |
