  • Resurfaced carpet and process for making the same
    Patent number: 5763001
    Abstract: A process for resurfacing carpet, as well as the resurfaced carpet made by this process, is provided. The process generally includes coating the pile fiber carpet surface with a polymer compound. In one embodiment, the pile fiber carpet surface of the carpet is coated with a thermoplastic material. The coated carpet is then heated to fuse the thermoplastic material to the pile fiber carpet surface. Finally, the coated carpet is cooled to harden the thermoplastic material and form a hardened surface on top of the pile fiber carpet surface. In another embodiment, the pile fiber carpet surface of the carpet is coated with a thermoset material. For this embodiment, after the thermoset material has cured, a hardened surface is formed on top of the pile fiber carpet surface.
