A low-weight carpet tile and process for making the same, wherein the carpet tile comprises a facecloth having a plurality of face yarns tufted through a primary backing, an extruded polymer secondary backing layer, and a reinforcing scrim layer partially embedded within the extruded polymer secondary backing layer. The top surface and bottom surface of the carpet tile are defined by the facecloth and the reinforcing scrim layer, respectively. A polymer-based resin is extruded onto the facecloth to form an at least substantially uniform secondary backing layer, and the reinforcing serim layer is laid onto the extruded polymer secondary backing layer while the extruded polymer secondary backing layer remains above a softening temperature for the resin. The entire multi-layer web is then passed through a nip to embed the reinforcing scrim layer into the extruded polymer secondary layer, and the entire web is chilled.

Provided is a method for manufacturing an artificial turf, including: providing a base cloth; providing artificial turf yarns; tufting the artificial turf yarns on the base cloth, and applying an adhesive; and blowing air to the base cloth having the adhesive applied thereto to obtain the artificial turf. According to the manufactured artificial turf, when passing air through the air blowing device, water permeable holes are formed in the bonding layer applied on the base cloth. The water seepage rate of the artificial turf is increased by means of water seepage through the water permeable holes. Moreover, there is no need to pierce the adhesive applied surface of the base cloth during production, thereby avoiding damage to the structure of the artificial turf by piercing. This effectively prevents the artificial turf yarns from loosening and falling off and prolongs the service life of the artificial turf.

This invention relates to a printed textile substrate, such as a floorcovering article, and a process for making a printed textile substrate. This invention provides the process and steps to print color patterns in-register with physical patterns, such as varying yarn pile heights, yarn luster, yarn color, and the like. This process provides many unique aesthetics on a textile substrate that cannot be created another way.
