ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to a multilayer foamed flooring and wall product. The inventive product is a resilient cushion foam flooring and wall product that is free of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), plasticizers and heavy metal stabilizer. The product is made of a multilayer top layer which is integrated with a latex or polyolefin polymer foam back layer. The product has particular utility in the heterogeneous flooring market and can be prepared using ordinary PVC melt processing equipment.
