The present invention provides a tile carpet comprising a sealer layer of a novel hot-melt type composition low in fumability (fuming property) and superior in a sealing effect and backing layers of a composition low in fumability. The tile carpet has a structure in which a backing layer (A) of a composition comprising an amorphous polyolefin and a filler containing magnesium hydroxide; a glass or polyester non-woven fabric; a backing layer (B) of a compositon comprising an amorphous polyolefin and a filler containing magnesium hydroxide; a glass or polyester crossed fabric; and a carpet cloth having a sealer layer (C) of a composition comprising, an amorphous polyolefin and a filler, are laminated to one another successively in this order.

Polyolefin-based carpet tile

Method for producing tile carpet

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing carpet tiles having excellent dimensional stability which comprises the steps of:

Method for manufacturing carpet tiles having excellent dimensional

A composition for backing a carpet, which contains (a) 5 to 65% by weight of an olefin-polar monomer copolymer having a polar monomer content of 5 to 40% by weight, (b) 1 to 50% by weight of a synthetic oil comprising one or more non-condensed tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds having a boiling point of 250.degree. C. or higher and a molecular weight of 258 to 482, and being liquid at room temperature, (c) 30 to 90% by weight of an inorganic filler, and, if necessary, up to 50% by weight of a solid low-molecular compound component. The composition is particularly useful for automobile carpets and carpet tiles. The composition provides flexibility during blending, a high flexibility, and, in particular, a superior performance at low temperatures.

Composition for backing carpets

A method of making a carpet tile in which a carpet fed from a carpet feed section, a thermoplastic backing composition layer, and a secondary backing fabric fed from a secondary backing fabric feed section are laminated to form a carpet belt material, and the carpet belt material is cooled and cut to size. In the aforesaid method, the carpet is passed through a roll guider, and the secondary backing fabric is passed through a cloth guider, and, if required, through an expander roll. In the aforesaid methods, the secondary backing fabric is further preheated.

Method of making a carpet tile

Provided is a carpet tile produced by using as a backing material a mixture which contains a solvent deasphalted asphalt and a copolymer of an olefin and a polar monomer, or a mixture which contains an amorphous polyolefin in addition to the above components. After applying the mixture as a hot melt to the back of carpet material, the backed carpet material is cooled and then cut or punched to produce the carpet tile.
