  • Publication number: 20070043128
    Abstract: Carpet backing is prepared from carpet scrap by first comminuting the carpet scrap into fragments and then melting and fusing the carpet scrap fragments together to render molten fragments. The resulting molten fragments containing synthetic resins are then formed into agglomerates. The pellets are then ground into a fine powder. A slurry may be prepared from the ground powder and a carrier. The ground powder may, alternatively, be mixed with a polyurethane reactive mixture, aqueous polymer containing emulsion or a thermoplastic composition such as bitumen, polypropylene or polyethylene. The resulting polymeric coating is coated onto a substrate. The coated substrate is then hardened.

  • Publication number: 20050281977
    Abstract: A continuous method of adhesively laminating a first textile substrate to a second textile substrate wherein a single laminating adhesive is applied in one step, the method comprising, moving a web of the first textile along a first substantially horizontal path, coating the upper surface of the moving web of first textile with a substantially uniform layer of adhesive capable of bonding a surface of the first textile to a surface of the second textile, moving a web of the second textile along a second substantially horizontal path that is vertically spaced above the coated surface of, substantially parallel to, substantially coextensive with and moving at substantially the same speed as the moving web of first textile, bringing the coated surface of the moving web of first textile into contact with the lower surface of the moving web of second textile under conditions and for a time sufficient to adhere the contacted surfaces together and form a laminate comprising the first and second textiles.
