VEHICLE FLOORING SYSTEM
A vehicle spray flooring system is provided that includes a single-sided mold component and a spray application component that facilitates application of a liquefied mixture into the single-sided mold. The application of the liquefied mixture results in a vehicle flooring product, whereby the liquefied mixture is a combination of urethane and polyurea.
1 . A vehicle flooring system comprising:
a single-sided mold component; and
a spray application component that facilitates application of a liquefied mixture into the single-sided mold, wherein the application results in a vehicle flooring product.
2 . The vehicle flooring system of claim 1 , wherein the liquefied mixture is a combination of urethane and polyurea.
3 . The vehicle flooring system of claim 2 , wherein the liquefied mixture is approximately 5% urethane and approximately 95% polyeura.
4 . The vehicle flooring system of claim 1 , wherein a foil is molded-in upon application of the liquefied mixture, and wherein the foil provides heat deflection from a passenger compartment of the vehicle.
5 . The vehicle flooring system of claim 1 , wherein the single-sided mold component has a draft angle of approximately 90 degrees.
6 . The vehicle flooring system of claim 1 , wherein the single-sided mold component has a top surface having at least one surface treatment.
7 . The vehicle flooring system of claim 6 , wherein the at least one surface treatment is a logo and/or ridges and/or a grain structure.
8 . The vehicle flooring system of claim 7 , wherein the flooring product is a floor mat.
9 . A method for forming a vehicle flooring product comprising:
providing a single-sided mold;
spraying a liquefied mixture into the single-sided mold;
curing the liquefied mixture for a pre-determined amount of time; and
removing the cured mixture from the single sided mold, wherein the cured mixture is the vehicle flooring product.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein prior to spraying a liquefied mixture into the single-sided mold, the method comprising combining urethane and polyeura into the liquefied mixture.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the liquefied mixture is approximately 5% urethane and approximately 95% polyeura.
12 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising inserting a foil into the single-sided mold, wherein the foil is molded-in upon spraying of the liquefied mixture, and wherein the foil provides heat deflection from a passenger compartment.
13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the single-sided mold has a draft angle of approximately 90 degrees.
14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the single-sided mold has a top surface having at least one surface treatment.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the at least one surface treatment is a logo and/or ridges and/or a grain structure.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the flooring product is a floor mat.
