Primary and secondary backings for carpet tiles
Our nonwovens provide outstanding and consistent stability throughout manufacturing as well as in the final carpet tile. The primary backing’s uniform filament distribution and homogeneous bonding deliver high strength and stability. They also enable excellent pattern definition in both tufting and printing processes. Our fabrics facilitate clean cuts and minimize joint visibility. Non-fraying edges ensure precise fitting of carpet tiles.
Primary and secondary backings for broadloom carpets
Individual design trends in high-end wall-to-wall carpeting call for a wide variety of patterns created through tufting or printing. Excellent pattern definition requires a highly stable carpet matrix. Our nonwoven backings deliver this stability, ensuring that graphic patterns remain perfectly aligned. The consistent filament distribution and uniform bonding enable broadloom carpet manufacturers to excel in complex designs.
Solutions for dust control mats/door mats
A key requirement for mats is that they lie flat and stay flat throughout their service life, even under heavy use and upon frequent cleaning. The primary backing used in tufting plays a critical role in delivering these required properties. Our products ensure excellent tear strength and tufting characteristics enabling high performance with low-weight backings.
