Abstract:
Tufted or woven article having a unitary backing is prepared by applying to the underside of a tufted or woven textile article, a polyurethane-forming composition comprising(A) a relatively high molecular weight polyether polyol;(B) a relatively low molecular weight polyol;(C) an organic polyisocyanate or polyisothiocyanate;(D) an inorganic filler component.The present invention describes a carpet comprising (I) a primary backing; (II) a yarn tufted or woven through said primary backing thereby creating a yarn bundle on the underside of the resultant tufted or woven textile article and (III) a polyurethane composition applied to the underside thereby encapsulating the yarn bundles and adhering the yarn bundles to the primary backing; said polyurethane composition comprising the catalyzed reaction product of the composition described above.

Abstract:
A method for binding a greige carpet and a secondary backing material using a hot melt adhesive is disclosed. A heated application roll may be provided and the secondary backing material may be contacted with the hot melt adhesive and greige carpet and pressed against the heated application roll.
Abstract:
Polymeric carpet and a method of making and recycling such carpet, the carpet having fibers, backing and extruded adhesive all of completely recyclable materials, the recycling being accomplished in one melting step, without a separation step.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a color-coated fouling-resistant conductive cloth and a manufacturing method thereof. The method includes the steps of providing a conductive cloth interwoven by natural fibers or artificial fibers and containing a metal layer, and forming at least one colored resin-coating layer on the metal layer of the conductive cloth by means of blade coating, wherein the surface of the resin-coating layer does not exceed the intersections of warp yarns and weft yarns of the conductive cloth. The conductive cloth of the present invention has the characteristics of colored appearance, artificial or environmental contamination resistance, and low surface resistance.
Abstract:
An upper surface layer 2 and a nonwoven fabric sound absorption layer 3 are integrally secured via an air permeable adhesive resin layer 4 formed by melting thermoplastic resin powder, and the air permeability of the thickness direction of the entire carpet 1 falls within the range of 1 to 50 cm3/cm2·second. This effectively absorbs noise from the upper side entering via a roof, doors and windows as well as noise from the lower side. The carpet can be manufactured by scattering thermoplastic resin powder on an upper surface member, heating the thermoplastic resin powder into melted thermoplastic resin, placing a nonwoven fabric on the upper surface member via the melted thermoplastic resin, and pressing the nonwoven fabric and the upper surface member in a laminated state. It is preferable that powder of particle size of 90 to 10,000 μm is scattered in the amount of 5 to 500 g/m2.
Abstract:
A carpet in tile or roll form is produced using an open mesh reinforced foam layer with foam nodules. The carpet is produced having a primary backing through which carpet fiber bundles are tufted and a precoat layer which locks the tufts in place to prevent easy extraction of the fibers so that a tufted face and a relatively smooth back face are provided. The foam layer with foam nodules is brought into intimate contact with the relatively smooth back face, and is substantially permanently adhered to it producing a carpet tile or roll that is substantially prevented from curling or doming (or they are significantly reduced) and may be installed without adhesive if desired. Adhering may be practiced by using a non-fused adhesive formulation which is subsequently fused at a low temperature (about 310null F. or less), or by forcing the foam layer with foam nodules into contact with the carpet back while the hot melt backing is still in a fluid form, or by use of a thermoplastic layer between the carpet and foam sheet.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a conductive, flame-retardant polymeric fabric composed of a woven or non-woven nylon, polyester or acrylic fabric. A surface of the fabric is provided with a flame-retardant layer applied by coating the flame-retardant directly onto the fabric surface. Disposed on the flame-retardant layer is a conductive metal applied preferably by vapor deposition. The resulting article not only has a surface resistance of less than one ohm/sq, but also the article has an Underwriter Laboratories very thin material (VTM) vertical bum test rating of zero rendering the article suitable for use as an electromagnetic interference shielding fabric.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a carpet product, a process for manufacturing carpet, and an apparatus used in a carpet manufacturing process. The carpet product is made from tufted polymer filament yarn wherein the individual yarn filaments of the yarn back loops are integrally fused so that the carpet resists fuzzing. The primary backing preferably is modified polypropylene in the fill direction. Further, the primary backing may be coated with a polymer before tufting to adhere or integrally fuse the inside of the fiber tuft to the primary backing. An optional secondary backing is preferably made of tape yarn in both directions. The process includes providing a carpet base having a primary backing penetrated by yarn, applying heat to the underside of the primary backing, extruding a heated sheet of polymer and continuously contacting the heated extruded sheet of polymer with the base. The apparatus includes a source of carpet precursor, a heated cylinder for heating the underside of the carpet, an extruder and a casting roll against which the extruded sheet and heated carpet are pressed.
