Method for producing an elastomer floor covering having a decorative layer and an elastomer floor covering with a decorative layer
An exemplary method for manufacturing an elastomeric flooring comprises: providing a first rubber mixture (2); providing a decor carrier material (6) comprising areas with a decor layer (7) wherein the decor layer (7) contains a second rubber mixture; shaping the first rubber mixture (2) by converting it to a rubber web (5); applying the decor carrier material (6) comprising the decor layer (7) onto the rubber web (5), wherein the decor layer (7) comes in contact with the rubber web (5); vulcanizing the rubber web (5) with the decor layer (7) applied to it, wherein the decor layer (7) bonds to the rubber web (5); and removing the decor carrier material (6).
ANTI-FATIGUE MATS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME
The present disclosure discloses an anti-fatigue mat and methods for making the same. The method for making an anti-fatigue mat includes providing a leather comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, forming a color layer on the first surface, cutting the leather, putting the cut leather into a mold, injecting an elastomeric material into the mold, curing the elastomeric material to form an elastic layer on the second surface and a plurality of concave structures corresponding to the plurality of protruding structures on the first surface, and polishing the first surface to remove the color layer without caving towards the second surface. The anti-fatigue mat can have anti-fatigue performance and vivid stereoscopic impression, where being simple to fabricate with low costs and can be industrialized.
FILM PRODUCTION METHOD, FILM PRODUCTION ASSEMBLY, AND PLASTIC FILM
The invention relates to a film production method for producing a thermally deformable plastic film having an at least two-color design, comprising the following steps: extruding a first plastic to form a molten plastic melt and dispensing the plastic melt of the first plastic in a planar manner in a first thickness by means of an extruder nozzle/slit nozzle; applying a second, scatterable and/or free-flowing plastic in a defined, planar manner in a defined pattern design with a pattern template onto the plastic melt consisting of the first plastic, and calendaring/sizing the thickness of the plastic melt and simultaneously at least partially pressing the second plastic applied in a planar manner in the pattern design into the first plastic by means of a calendar assembly, cooling the melt to form a solid plastic film.
NON-SLIP COLD-RESISTANT LOOP MAT AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR
A non-slip cold-resistant loop mat and a manufacturing method therefor. The non-slip cold-resistant loop mat includes a non-slip mesh layer (1) and a loop layer arranged on the non-slip mesh layer (1); the loop layer includes a flat loop base layer, and a plurality of vertical filaments (2) and a plurality of arched loops (3) erected on the loop base layer; both the vertical filaments (2) and the arched loops (3) are provided with particles (4); the non-slip mesh layer (1) is of a porous structure; upper ends of the vertical filaments (2) extend upwards; the arched loops (3) are vertically arranged; and the particles (4) are fixed on the vertical filaments (2) and the arched loops (3) in an adhesive manner. The influence of the temperature on the overall hardness of the loop mat is small, and the anti-slip performance of the loop mat is improved.
LVT Formulation for Achieving Drum Tack While Maintaining Good Cut Smoothness
Described herein is a floor panel comprising a base layer comprising: a binder, and a filler having a particle size distribution such that about 6 wt. % to 80 wt. % by weight of the filler passing through a 200 mesh screen.
MOLDED ARTICLE AND LAMINATE INCORPORATING ACRYLIC RESIN COMPOSITION
Disclosed is an acrylic resin composition that has excellent weather resistance and can be stably produced at high temperatures. Specifically, disclosed is an acrylic resin composition including, with respect to 100 parts by mass of an acrylic resin, from 0.1 to 8 parts by mass of a triazine-based UV absorber including 2-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-5-[2-(2-ethylhexanoyloxy)ethoxy]phenol, wherein the acrylic resin used is an acrylic resin including at least 80 wt % of methyl methacrylate as a monomer component, and having a glass transition temperature of at least 80 C.
FLOOR PANEL
A floor panel with a substrate, including thermoplastic material, a decor provided thereon, and, on at least one pair of opposite edges, coupling parts realized at least partially from the substrate. The coupling parts allow a mechanical locking between two of such floor panels, where the substrate includes a rigid, non-foamed substrate layer of thermoplastic material.
Modular mat system
The present disclosure relates to a modular mat system. More particularly, the disclosure is directed to a modular mat system with that may be built out using common pieces of mats. Specifically, a modular mat system with a mat piece with a top plate with inserts, a bottom plate with a plurality of tabs and recesses operative to engage with further mat pieces to build a mat system is discussed. The modular mat system is operative to remove water and other detritus from shoes of a user or other such platform moving across the mat system and feed it to a perimeter drain below the system.
ACOUSTICAL FLOORING TILE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE
An acoustical vinyl tile having an integral acoustical layer is disclosed. The vinyl tile includes a vinyl portion and an acoustical portion. The acoustical portion may comprise a crumb rubber component and a polyurethane foam component. The acoustical portion can include 10-40% crumb rubber and 60-90% polyurethane foam.
