20110177283 | PET Carpet With Additive - A method of forming PET fiber for carpet is disclosed. The method includes drying PET material so it has a water content of less than 50 ppm. Adding color to the PET material, heating the PET material to a temperature less than 330° C. so the PET has a viscosity between about 0.68 and 0.86, and extruding the PET through a spinneret to form fibers. | 07-21-2011 |
20080292831 | TUFTED PET FIBER FOR AUTOMOTIVE CARPET APPLICATIONS - A tufted PET carpet assembly and a method of forming the same. The carpet assembly comprising a face layer comprised of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) yarn comprised of PET fibers and tufted at a pre-determined gauge, the face layer having a face weight, a first backing layer adjacent the face layer, and a first back coating layer adjacent the first backing layer. A method of forming a tufted PET carpet assembly with PET yarn comprising the steps of tufting the PET yarn at a pre-determined gauge onto a backing, applying a back coating to the tufted PET via extrusion to lock the tufted PET to the backing, and applying heat to the tufted PET to enhance the look and feel of the PET. | 11-27-2008 |
20080223654 | LOW MASS ACOUSTICALLY ENHANCED FLOOR CARPET SYSTEM - A low mass acoustically enhanced floor carpet system for vehicles. In a first embodiment, the carpet assembly comprising a face layer and an opposite lower fiber mat. The carpet assembly further including a primary backing if the face layer is tufted, a back coating layer, an upper fiber mat, and a perforated film layer all in between the face layer and the lower fiber mat. The perforated film layer providing for enhanced sound absorption. In an alternate embodiment, the carpet assembly comprising a face layer, an insulator pad opposite the face layer; a back coating, a perforated film layer, and an insulator pad all between the face layer and the insulator pad. | 09-18-2008 |
20080220200 | TUFTED PET FIBER FOR AUTOMOTIVE CARPET APPLICATIONS - A tufted PET carpet assembly and a method of forming the same. The carpet assembly comprising a face layer comprised of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) yam comprised of PET fibers and tufted at a pre-determined gauge, the face layer having a face weight, a first backing layer adjacent the face layer, and a first back coating layer adjacent the first backing layer. A method of forming a tufted PET carpet assembly with PET yam comprising the steps of tufting the PET yarn at a pre-determined gauge onto a backing, applying a back coating to the tufted PET via extrusion to lock the tufted PET to the backing, and applying steam to the tufted PET to enhance the look and feel of the PET. | 09-11-2008 |
