Abstract
By introducing an expanded structure into a rubber portion during heating under pressure at the time of integrating a mat, and by using as a backing of a carpet a foamed rubber sheet having an expansibility of 1.2 to 3 times and a skin layer having a thickness of 0.1 to 1.0 mm, the shrinkage of the mat by shrinking, washing and drying after heating under pressure can be relaxed, and the waving of the mat can be prevented effectively. At the same time, the mat of the invention has excellent fitness to a floor surface, light-weight, strength and heat resistance.

A floor mat which is resistant to waving comprising:
- a base cloth;
- a mat pile tufted to the base cloth forming a tufted mat;
- and
- a low foamed rubber sheet integrated onto the back surface of the base cloth, said mat being formed by integrating an unvulcanized rubber having a low foamibility and the tufted mat under heat and pressure and vulcanizing and expanding the rubber sheet, wherein the resulting low foamed rubber sheet has an expansion factor of 20 to 200% and a skin layer having a thickness of 0.1 to 1.00 mm.
