  • Carpet backing and methods of making and using the same
    Patent number: 6863090
    Abstract: A woven carpet backing may include monofilament warp yarns and alternating monofilament and multifilament fill yarns. The yarns may be woven using a weave, such as a non-traditional weave, that places all of the multifilament fill yarns on the face of the fabric and all of the monofilament fill yarns on the back of the fabric. Monofilament fill yarns and multifilament fill yarns are overstuffed, thereby creating a coverage factor greater than one hundred percent. The invention results in a carpet backing with the appearance of a primary carpet backing on one side of the fabric and the appearance of a secondary carpet backing on the opposite side of the fabric. The need for a secondary carpet backing is eliminated by the woven carpet backing.
