A carpet and a method of making a carpet are described. The carpet and the method of making the carpet does not involve the use of a latex precoat. This is useful for recycling purposes.

A composite filament artificial leather includes a composite filament textile and an elastomer film. The composite filament textile includes a plurality of composite filaments. One of the composite filaments includes at least one core portion, a sheath portion and at least one gap structure. The sheath portion is disposed around the core portion. The gap structure is between the core portion and the sheath portion. The elastomer film is bonded with the composite filament textile.

Provided is a composite thermal insulation sheet including an aerogel and a method for manufacturing the same. The methods yield an ultra-thin aerogel composite sheet having characteristics of low dust, high strength and high thermal insulation, thereby having an increased applicability thereof to an electronic device.

This invention relates to tufted floorcovering articles, including carpet tiles and broadloom carpet. In particular, this invention relates to tufted floorcovering articles made from the family of polymers known as polyester. Specifically, this invention relates to tufted carpet tile products made from polyester. The polyester carpet tiles meet commercial performance specifications and are fully end-of-life recyclable.

The disclosure relates to seamless manufacturing processes for 3-dimensional waterproof and breathable porous polymer membranes by spraying, dip-coating or painting a substrate with a dispersion having polymer, coated or non-coated particles and diluent and removing the particles by dissolution thus creating porosity after the 3D coating/shaping. The disclosure further relates to dispersions to obtain such membranes, to polymer membranes obtained, to shaped articles containing such membranes; to the use of such membranes, shaped articles and intermediates.

A sprayable and hygroscopic ink for a digital printing process on a fabric includes 3.0 parts by weight to 6.0 parts by weight of a colorant, 0.5 parts by weight to 2.0 parts by weight of a hygroscopic agent, 0.5 parts by weight to 1.0 part by weight of a surfactant, and a balance of a solvent, in which a pH value of the hygroscopic agent is between 6.0 and 8.5 at 25° C., and a particle diameter D90 of the sprayable and hygroscopic ink is between 180 nm and 220 nm.

The object of the invention is the use of an aqueous dispersion of a vinylacetate-ethylene-copolymer and of at least one polyethylene imine as a binder in a carpet coating composition for the production of carpets.

A carpet or carpet tile comprising a biobased backing is provided. The resultant carpet tile has advantages in terms of environmental issues and reduces the need for fossil fuels. The backing is made using a backing composition comprising a resin, an oil, optionally a thermoplastic elastomer, and a filler material.

The present invention pertains to a dispersion of polyester particles in an aqueous dispersion medium, wherein the particles have a number average particle size below 1000 nm, and wherein the polyester particles are composed of a polyester material that has a HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) value between 7.6 and 10.5.

The present invention relates polyester tufted carpet where the tufts are engaged with a primary polyester backing and where a polyester extrusion coating is applied to the backside of the primary backing to lock the tufts which therefore avoids the use of a latex adhesive.
