  • the present invention relates to a non-woven floor covering for fairs and exhibitions, a method of manufacturing a floor covering and a method of reprocessing a floor covering.
  • a floor covering for fairs and exhibitions has a small thickness, of the order of 4 mm, and must be resistant to pedestrian traffic for the duration of the fair or exhibition.
  • the needled sheet is made from short fibers obtained by an extrusion-spinning process.

  • the backing layer consists mainly of latex and synthetic resins based on styrene and butadiene.
  • the manufacture of the flooring consists of regularly coating the underside of the needled web with liquid latex and polymerizing the latex to form a flat, even backing layer.
  • the needlepunched web is also sometimes pre-impregnated with latex.
  • Patent document BE1006982 also discloses a floor covering for the automotive industry that does not have a backing layer of latex or PVC.
  • This flooring is formed from polyolefins, polyesters, polyamides and additives by melting and penetrating a powder into a web by compression. The recycling of such floor coverings, however, requires a separation of the various constituents.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a fully recyclable floor covering in a simple manner, as well as methods for making and recycling the floor covering.
  • the subject of the invention is a non-woven floor covering for fairs and exhibitions composed of a needled mat and a backing layer, characterized in that the needled mat is made of polyolefins and the backing layer is composed of polyolefins and mineral fillers, the polyolefins being polypropylene and polyethylene in a proportion of at least 55% by weight of polypropylene and at most 38% by weight of polyethylene.
  • the flooring is therefore composed solely of polyolefins and mineral fillers, and a mixture of these compounds with such mass proportions can be used directly in other applications, for example by injection / molding to manufacture parts used in the process. automobile industry.

  • FIG. 1 there is shown a floor covering 1 according to the invention which is formed, as in the prior art, of a needled sheet 2 and a backing layer 3. It is composed of polypropylene, of polyethylene and mineral fillers, with more than 55% by weight of polypropylene and less than 38% by weight of polyethylene. Mineral fillers, which can to be flame retardant fillers, are mainly calcium carbonates, barium carbonates, alumina hydrates or phosphors. Many products made by thermoplastic polymer molding or injection have a mass composition that falls within the product range proposed above for flooring 1. Therefore, by recycling and hot extruding the flooring according to In the invention, the thermoplastic raw material is obtained for directly manufacturing these molded / injected products. It is not necessary to add anything other than this raw material to manufacture such products, with the exception of sometimes thinners or thickeners. Thus, all the material of the flooring can be recycled in a simple way, which we will describe in more detail later, and no ultimate waste is created.
  • the overall mass composition desired for the floor covering 1 can be obtained in different ways.
  • the needled web 2 is formed solely of polypropylene and the backing layer 3 is formed of mineral fillers and polyethylene.
  • the manufacture of such a floor covering 1 requires a particular manufacturing method described below.
  • the needled web 2 is manufactured conventionally, preferably with polypropylene F fibers.
  • Polypropylene granules, mixed with dye granules which will give the color of the flooring, are melted in an autoclave and passed through a spin extruder to form polypropylene filaments which will be cut in a short fiber cutter of the order 75 mm long.
  • At least 35% of the fibers have a titer of 6.7 dtex and at least 35% of the fibers have a titer of 17 dtex to further facilitate the entrapment of their bases.
  • the polypropylene fibers then pass through a rotating card where they are combed and come out in a fine veil, then in a spreader - lath machine in which several fine sails are superimposed and crisscrossed to form a sheet about 3 cm thick.
  • This sheet is densified in a needling machine inside which a multitude of barbs need penetrates many times in the sheet and intermingles the fibers.
  • the density of the needled sheet depends on the number of needle hits per cm 2 .
  • the needled web 2 is then rolled before appending in another installation of the backing layer 3 on one of its faces.
  • the manufacturing parameters of the needled web are specific to the manufacture of floor coverings. Sizing a layer 3 on the needlepunched web 2 consolidates the fibers of the needled web 2 to make the floor covering 1 resistant. In addition, the backing layer 3 stiffens the floor covering 1 so that it does not crease underfoot.
  • Figure 2 shows a plant specially arranged to implement the method of manufacturing the floor covering according to the invention from a needled ply roll.
  • a roll 4 of needlepunched web 2 is installed on a peeler 5 and the needled web 2 is unwound continuously in the machine so that a backing layer is glued on it to make the flooring continuously.

  • the shaker 9 also has an anti-clogging buzzer 18 at the hopper 16 and a broom 19 which rubs on the roller 17 to improve the regularity of the powder flow 15.
  • the thin regular layer of The powder 15 covering the needled web 2 is put into a mood or reactivated, ie fluidized by melting, in the infrared heating system 10 without the stability and flatness characteristics of the needled web 2 being deteriorated.
  • the powder 15 should have a melting temperature below the melting temperature of the fibers F composing the needled web 2 so that the powder 15 becomes fluid in the infrared heating system 10 without the fibers F melting.

  • the needled layer covered with fluidized powder enters between the drum 20 and the apron 21, the backside covered with fluidized powder being in contact with the drum 20, at a location where a roller 22 presses the apron 21 against the drum 20, and performs almost a turn around the drum 20 being pressed between the drum 20 and apron 21.
  • the drum 20 is heated to a temperature slightly lower than the temperature of the infrared heating system 10 to slightly cool the powder without compromising its fluidity this temperature is of the order of 125 ° C.
  • the continuous pressure exerted by the apron grille 11 on the fluidized powder forces it to penetrate partially into the back of the needled web 2 without crossing it completely, which makes it possible to trap the base of the fibers F constituting the needled web 2 in the backing layer 3 while retaining the textile appearance of the face of the needlepunched web 2.
  • the passage in the apron grille makes it possible to form a smooth and regular backing layer 3 in intimate contact with the needled web 2
  • the time of presence of the needled web 2 in the apron shell 11, therefore at high temperature, is short and as it is kept compressed between the drum 20 and the apron 21, it does not retract and leaves perfectly flat and ironed .
  • the apron 21 is more particularly made of aramid fabric known under the name of Nomex from Dupont Company in order to withstand the high temperatures generated by the calendering drum 20.
