Abstract:
There is disclosed herein various floor coverings and methods for making the same. In one embodiment, there is disclosed a floor covering including a primary backing layer having a fibrous face and an underside, wherein the fibrous face is formed from a bulked continuous filament yam comprising a plurality of continuous filaments formed from a biobased polyhexamethylene sebacamide polymer or a blend of a biobased polyhexamethylene sebacamide polymer together with up to 80wt% of at least one other polymer compatible with the biobased polyhexamethylene sebacamide polymer. There is also described a method of making a floor covering comprising: tufting or implanting a bulked continuous filament yarn into a primary backing material, wherein the yam comprises a plurality of continuous filaments formed from a multi-component fibre comprising a biobased polyhexamethylene sebacamide polymer or a blend of a biobased polyhexamethylene sebacamide polymer together with up to 80wt% of at least one other polymer compatible with the biobased polyhexamethylene sebacamide polymer.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To supply a carpet structure with excellent dimensional stability and useful rigidity for mounting and a backing. SOLUTION: The carpet is composed of the first carpet part A structured to have predetermined swelling and contraction power under the cycling condition of temperature and moisture and the second carpet part B constructed from one or more layers to have a predetermined resistance against swelling and contraction at least equal to or larger than the swelling and contraction power of the first carpet part A under the cycling condition of temperature and humidity and under the traffic load on the carpet pile.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide fabric having strechability, water proofing properties, air permeability and reusability, and favorably suitable for being used particularly for a climatic protection garment. SOLUTION: The fabric comprises layer structure elements containing woven, knitted or nonwoven fabric made of at least stretch-recovery binary fiber, and liner fabric containing waterproof elastic polymer film or coating made of the same polymer as the nonwoven fabric and having knitting structure in some cases. Such compound fabric is reusable via a traditional technology where polyester or polyamide is reused. A garment made of such fabric is provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
