Patent granted for non-tufted carpet with specific non-woven structure
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11913150B2) discloses a non-tufted carpet design that features a facing layer made of an entangled and partially bonded non-woven structure composed of 100% staple fibers. The bonding process involves thermally activated bonds between two different polypropylene materials, with specific melting points and weight ratios. The staple fibers used in the non-woven structure are bicomponent fibers, with a sheath/core configuration, ensuring durability and strength in the carpet design.
The patented non-tufted carpet, as described in the claims, is not only innovative in its construction but also environmentally friendly, being 100% recyclable. The weight and stiffness of the non-woven structure are carefully controlled to ensure optimal performance, with additional features like a backing layer for added support. The manufacturing process involves passing the non-woven structure through an oven to achieve the desired bonding without compromising the integrity of the fibers. Overall, this patented carpet design offers a unique combination of strength, recyclability, and performance, making it a promising option for various flooring applications.
