Carpets with surfactant-stabilized emulsion polymer carpet binders for improved processability

Disclosed are improved carpet products made using certain types of coating compositions to secure carpet fibers to a carpet backing or substrates and/or to secure one or more carpet scrims or other layers to carpet backing. The coating compositions, which can be in the form of either precoating or skip coating compositions, are made from latex binder emulsions based on interpolymers emulsion polymerized from vinyl esters, ethylene, and a multifunctional cross-linking co-monomer such as an unsaturated silane. Such emulsions are also stabilized with surfactant emulsifiers but are substantially free of protective colloid stabilizers. The multifunctional co-monomer alters interpolymer molecular weight, branching and/or flow properties such that films formed from such interpolymers exhibit relatively low elongation values. When the emulsion binder exhibits such non-elongating film-forming characteristics, the carpet coating composition made from such binders can be easily processed without build-up on carpet processing apparatus. Such binder emulsions which are stabilized substantially only with surfactant emulsifiers, and not with protective colloids, also have excellent compatibility with other coating composition components.

Method of carpet construction

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.

Tuft coating

A tufted carpet includes a primary backing and a plurality of tufts. The plurality of tufts are attached to the primary backing by looping each yarn tuft through different openings of the primary backing with strand sections from adjacent tufts going through each opening. The tufted carpet further includes an adhesive or polymeric material contacting the tufts such that the tufts are bonded together. A system and method for forming the tufted carpets is also provided.
