摘要:
A laminated surface covering including a facing material made of vinyl and a backing material comprising a rubber component. The rubber component comprising at least a matrix of bonded rubber granules. A bonding material disposed between the facing material and the backing material. The facing material configured to melt at a temperature between 165° F. and 248° F. infiltrating the backing material thereby essentially encasing the rubber granules of the matrix and providing fire retardation and smoke suppression qualities.

Processes, methods, uses, apparatus, and/or products such as surface coverings such as floor coverings, wall coverings, furniture coverings, or the like, having a textile or fabric show surface, decorative layer, or face and an optional backing are provided. The textile show surface, layer or face is optionally saturated, coated, and/or covered, or includes a protective film, coating composition or wear surface such as a transparent resin or polymer material. In at least one exemplary embodiment, the textile show surface is in overlying relation to a backing of or including agglomerated adjoined particle elements. In at least another exemplary embodiment, the textile show surface is in overlying relation to a backing of or including a foam cushion layer. In yet another exemplary embodiment, the textile show surface is in overlying relation to a backing which is a blend or combination of a particle and a foam backing. In particular embodiments, but not exclusively, the invention may relate to surface coverings such as floor coverings including but not limited to carpet, carpet tile, flooring, floor tile, rugs, area rugs, runners, mats, floor mats, stabilized broadloom, modular flooring, roll goods, or the like. The surface covering may incorporate a tufted, bonded, knit, woven, non-woven, needled, flocked, or the like textile or fabric show surface, face material, decorative textile layer, or the like. The textile layer may be saturated, covered, and/or coated with at least one film or film-forming composition which is desirably transparent or translucent when cured. Alternatively or in addition, the face yarn or fiber may include one or more coatings or layers such as clear, translucent and/or colored coatings or layers. For example, the face yarn may include a core yarn or fiber or filament or material covered with one or more coatings, cladding, sheaths, layers, wear layers, films, and/or the like. It is additionally desirable that the film or film-forming composition or the one or more coatings or layers is wear resistant, soil resistant, stain resistant, aesthetically pleasing, fusable, and/or the like. Optional adhesive layers, adhesive films, stabilizing layers, textile backings, films, and/or the like may be disposed above, in, and/or below the flexible and/or resilient backing. Friction enhancing, adhesive, or installation facilitating materials or coatings may be added to and/or on the underside of the backing. Alternatively or in addition, a textile or fabric backing with a friction enhancing coating may be added below the backing.
摘要:
A pile fabric suitable for use as a primary carpet fabric within a carpet construction or composite such as a cushioned carpet or tile. The primary carpet fabric includes a plurality of pile-forming yarns tufted through or adhered to a primary backing of integral dimensionally stable character. A cushioning layer of foam, felt, fabric, or other suitable cushioning material may be disposed at a position below the primary carpet fabric.

摘要:
A layered cushioned composite such as a carpet or carpet tile which in at least one embodiment incorporates a layer of stabilizing material and a layer of adhesive material below a primary carpet and above a layer of compressed particle, recycled and/or rebond foam or cushioning material and having special applicability to the residential market, especially the residential do-it-yourself market. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the residential carpet tile has a high twist frieze face, a polyurethane rebond foam cushion, and a non-square shape providing for interlocking with adjacent or abutting carpet tiles.

A laminated surface covering including a facing material made of vinyl and a backing material comprising a rubber component. The rubber component comprising at least a matrix of bonded rubber granules. A bonding material disposed between the facing material and the backing material. The facing material configured to melt at a temperature between 165° F. and 248° F. infiltrating the backing material thereby essentially encasing the rubber granules of the matrix and providing fire retardation and smoke suppression qualities.
摘要:
A process and system for making a laminated surface covering and the surface covering itself are described. The covering includes several layers bonded to each other. The system performs the process. One example of the process includes passing a first material across a first conveyor, passing a second material across a second conveyor, passing a bonding material across a third conveyor, contacting the first material and the second material to the bonding material, and heating at least one of the first material and the second material. The process also includes introducing the first material, the second material, and the bonding material into a pressure zone such that the bonding material is introduced between a bottom surface of the first material and a top surface of the second material. The process applies pressure to bond the first material and second material together via the bonding material to produce a laminated material.
