Recyclable, rubber-like thermoplastic backing material used in a throw-in mat for a vehicle floor

摘要

A recyclable, thermoplastic backing material having the feel and weight of a rubber backing for use on a throw in mat. As compared with conventional rubber backed throw-in mats, the new thermoplastic material does not require a latex backing to adhere the rubber backing material to the primary backing layer. This may lead to decreased manufacturing costs associated with purchasing and applying the latex backing material. Further, because the material is recyclable, decreased costs associated with waste may be achieved.
