<p>The disclosure relates to a floor mat (70) and method for producing the same. The floor mat (70) includes a plurality of tufts (14) extending from a carrier fabric (16) which is joined by a layer of adhesive (24) to a backing having at least one layer of vulcanized thermoplastic elastomer (36). The process for production of the floor mat (70) includes applying an olefin based adhesive to the back of a primary tufted fabric (10) which has been preheated. The process for production includes the further separate step of applying a sheet of vulcanized thermoplastic elastomer (36) of between about 20 and 40 mils thickness with or without a layer of reinforcing material (40) to the preheated adhesive backed primary tufted fabric (10). A second layer of vulcanized thermoplastic elastomer (60) may thereafter be applied following another heating step.</p> |
