Abstract: The invention relates to a self-adhesive floor covering comprising a base layer, containing a polymer composition, which comprises an elastomer and/or a thermoplastic elastomer, wherein the floor covering has, on a first side of the base layer, an adhesive layer comprising an adhesive for connecting the floor covering to a substrate. The floor covering is characterised in that the adhesive comprises a styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer. The invention also relates to a method for producing a self-adhesive floor covering.

Abstract: 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).

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A floor covering having a web- or plate-shaped base material made from an elastomer material, wherein the base material is provided with mineral decorative particles, and wherein the density of the mineral decorative particles is not greater than 3 kg/dm3.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector including a body having a helix configured to change circumferentially in response to a change in force applied to the connector, the connector characterised in that the helix has at least one portion with a tapered circumference.

Abstract: A floor covering comprising a first layer of elastomeric material and a second layer of elastomeric material. Both of the first and second layers being provided with fillers, where the fillers are chosen in such a way that, when subjected to a temperature change, the second layer has a greater coefficient of expansion at least in one direction than the first layer. A further layer is arranged between the first layer and the second layer.

Abstract: A method for producing a two-dimensional rubber covering, in particular a floor covering, comprising the following steps: preparing an unvulcanised rubber material, mixing a filler into the unvulcanised rubber material, converting the rubber material into a two-dimensional state, and crosslinking the rubber material in the two-dimensional state. The method includes that the filler contains particles of glass, porcelain, earthenware and/or stoneware. Also, a covering produced in the described manner.
