  • Patent number: 7833596
    Abstract: A floor covering produced by coating and including a thermoplastic-based structure, in particular plasticized PVC, reinforced with a textile reinforcement, optionally combined with a foam backing. The visible surface consists of a surface coating providing decoration and wear resistance to the product. The back surface, designed to be in contact with the floor, consists of a textile web, the bonding between the textile structure and the supporting back surface being produced by means of an additional plastisol layer, which penetrates over a minor part of the thickness of the textile structure and which, after gelling, bonds the textile to the thermoplastic substrate back surface.

  • Patent number: 5965198
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the manufacture, by coating, of a plastic web. A plastisol is deposited as a layer onto a flat support, to obtain a coating layer in the pasty state. Before the plastisol is gelled, powdering is performed by accelerating particles of plastic powder toward, the external surface of the coating layer. The powder includes particles of a thermoplastic material capable of at least partially being integrated into or dissolving in the plastisol. The particles are homogeneously incorporated in order to form a single matrix with the thermoplastic base material of the plastisol.
