A plastic floor tile structure and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The plastic floor tile structure includes a base layer, a middle layer, and a surface layer. The middle layer is disposed between the base layer and the surface layer. The middle layer is formed from a resin composition. The resin composition includes 100 phr of a polyvinyl chloride resin, 5 phr to 20 phr of a plasticizer, 4 phr to 15 phr of a heat stabilizer composition, 0.5 phr to 3 phr of an accelerant, 1 phr to 5 phr of a toughener, 0.1 phr to 0.5 phr of a lubricant composition, and 0.1 phr to 1 phr of an antioxidant. The heat stabilizer composition includes a calcium-zinc stabilizer and an auxiliary stabilizer. The accelerant is a copolymer polymerized from a vinyl chloride monomer and a polyester monomer.

A low-weight carpet tile and process for making the same, wherein the carpet tile comprises a facecloth having a plurality of face yarns tufted through a primary backing, an extruded polymer secondary backing layer, and a reinforcing scrim layer partially embedded within the extruded polymer secondary backing layer. The top surface and bottom surface of the carpet tile are defined by the facecloth and the reinforcing scrim layer, respectively. A polymer-based resin is extruded onto the facecloth to form an at least substantially uniform secondary backing layer, and the reinforcing scrim layer is laid onto the extruded polymer secondary backing layer while the extruded polymer secondary backing layer remains above a softening temperature for the resin. The entire multi-layer web is then passed through a nip to embed the reinforcing scrim layer into the extruded polymer secondary layer, and the entire web is chilled.

A method for manufacturing acoustical elements, includes providing a first fibre component in a form of mineral wool and a second fibre component in a form of bicomponent fibres having a core with a thermoplastic outer layer, mixing the first fibre component and the second fibre component, for provision of a mixture, shaping the mixture into single layered tile shaped elements whereby the mixture is compressed with a compression ratio to a compressed state, and fixating the single layered tile shaped elements in the compressed state for obtaining the acoustical elements.

An embossing method for floor tiles makes thermoplastic polymer material in a floor tile to be embossed be converted into a viscous flow state by an ultrasonic embossing device, and embosses a floor tile modeling and a floor tile pattern on the floor tile to be embossed at the same time, such that the floor tile modeling and the floor tile pattern are not prone to rebound after being formed by embossing, stability of embossing of the edge of the floor tile is greatly improved, and yield rate of the floor tile increases. Additionally, the ultrasonic embossing device in the present application can further configure an ultrasonic welding head as a first welding head or a second welding head according to the floor tile modeling and the floor tile pattern, thereby meeting many types of different requirements for embossing patterns and reducing development cost of production lines.
