Abstract: A carpet tile and process for making the same, wherein the carpet tile comprises a woven facecloth with an applied latex or hot-melt adhesive precoat, an extruded polymer backing layer, and an optional polyester cushion, comprising a reinforcing scrim layer within a polyester layer. The top surface and bottom surface of the carpet tile are defined by the facecloth and the polyester cushion or extruded layer, respectively. A polymer-based resin is extruded onto the pre-coat of the coated facecloth to form an at least substantially uniform backing layer, and the polyester cushion may be laid onto the extruded polymer backing layer while the extruded polymer 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 backing layer, and the entire web is chilled.
