Abstract
Disclosed herein are a rigid tile including a foam cushion layer and a reinforcing layer, and a production method thereof.
Claims13
A rigid multilayer tile comprising a foam cushion layer, a reinforcing layer, an intermediate support layer on the reinforcing layer or the foam cushion layer, a printed layer on the intermediate support layer;
- wherein the foam cushion layer comprises one or more polymer resins selected from the group consisting of polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, ABS resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, acrylic resin, polyester resin, polystyrene resin, polytetrafluoroethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene-propylene copolymers, and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU);
- wherein the foam cushion layer contains 0 to 20 phr of a plasticizer, 0 to 300 phr of a filler, and 0 to 5 phr of a foaming agent;
- wherein the foam cushion layer has an expansion ratio of 120 to 300%;
- wherein the reinforcing layer comprises a rigid core layer;
- wherein the rigid core layer comprises one or more polymer resins selected from the group consisting of polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, ABS resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, acrylic resin, polyester resin, polystyrene resin, polytetrafluoroethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene-propylene copolymers, and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU);
- wherein the thickness of the reinforcing layer is 0.2 to 7 mm;
- wherein the rigid core layer contains 0 to 20 phr of a plasticizer and 0 to 500 phr of a filler;
- wherein the polymer resin contained in the foam cushion layer is the same as the polymer resin contained in the reinforcing layer, and the reinforcing layer is in direct contact with the foam cushion layer;
- wherein the layers are bonded to each other without using an adhesive;
- and
- wherein the foam cushion layer and the reinforcing layer are formed into a sheet at once by extrusion without using an adhesive.
