An exemplary method for manufacturing an elastomeric flooring comprises: providing a first rubber mixture (); providing a decor carrier material () comprising areas with a decor layer () wherein the decor layer () contains a second rubber mixture; shaping the first rubber mixture () by converting it to a rubber web (); applying the decor carrier material () comprising the decor layer () onto the rubber web (), wherein the decor layer () comes in contact with the rubber web (); vulcanizing the rubber web () with the decor layer () applied to it, wherein the decor layer () bonds to the rubber web (); and removing the decor carrier material ().

Method for producing an elastomer floor covering having a decorative layer and an elastomer floor covering with a decorative layer

A floor covering including one of a sheet-shaped or plate-shaped matrix made of an elastomeric material. The matrix is provided with particles made of a thermoplastic material, where the elastomeric material of the matrix and the thermoplastic material of the particles each have at least one matching monomer.

Floor covering and method for producing the same

A floor covering comprising an essentially sheet-shaped or plate-shaped matrix made of an elastomeric material. The matrix is provided with particles where the particles are made of a thermoplastic elastomer.

A web-type floor covering made of vulcanized rubber that includes an elastic rubber web, the top side of which forms a decorative surface, first decorative particles being at least partially embedded in the rubber web so that the first decorative particles are visible from the top side, a transparent coating, in particular made of epoxy resin, being applied to the first decorative particles on at least part of their contact surface with the rubber web, the first decorative particles being preferably made of a different material from that used for the rubber web.

Web-type floor covering and method for its manufacture

A multicolored, patterned floor covering is disclosed along with a method for its manufacture. The floor covering is made of a sheeting which has a first color, and a granular material dyed differently from the sheeting which is embedded in the sheeting along at least in the area of the top side. The sheeting and the granular material consist of cross-linkable, elastomeric materials, the granular material comprising particles which have at least two subregions dyed differently from each other and from the sheeting. The quantity and color of the fractions of each component as selected so that the mixed color resulting from an homogeneous intermixing of all the components contained in the floor covering agrees with the first color.

Multicolored patterned floor covering and method for manufacture

A method of manufacturing a randomly patterned floor covering having contrastingly-colored zones from a preform of rubber in which the preform is cut in pieces, each of which are molded into a blank having projections extending from a top side of the blank in relief-like fashion, solidified by vulcanization and then machined by cutting only in the region of the projections. The rubber forming the contrastingly-colored zones is mixed with contrastingly-colored particles in an amount of at least ten percent by weight. These particles are substantially free of flat surfaces and are in, at least, an advanced state of vulcanization. The particles located in the projections extending from the top side of the blank are exposed during the cutting step.
